ebook-convert pdf Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported

xiatian · 08-29-2021, 12:57 AM

As I use ebook-convert (5.26.0) to convert epub to pdf, I got error: [5398:5398:0829/124754.015682:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

How to solve this problem if I need to run as root?

Why would you need to run as root? And use the env var to pass options to chromium: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-debugging.html

Thanks. I add env var QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--no-sandbox" chromium and it works fine!
