Reproduction steps:

Workaround, thank you chiaminjp!!:

then launch the GUI

Note, on ubuntu 24 there is no native GUI software for installing chia.
Previous versions of ubuntu had the Software Installer application which could be used but ubuntu 24 replaces this with the app store which does not support the .deb files.

When a user clicks on the downloaded file in firefox:

When a user double clicks in the downloads directory:

Current workarounds-
GUI: install the gnome software package manager and use that to install the deb
CLI: use dpkg sudo dpkg -i ./chia-blockchain_2.3.0_amd64.deb or use the apt package manager to install the deb sudo apt install ./chia-blockchain_2.3.0_amd64.deb NOTE - this is really not a workaround for the deb package as apt will actually install the apt package instead so one can just run sudo apt install chia-blockchain without ever downloading the deb and have the same result.

This is in the rpm in electron-builder.js

  "--rpm-attr=4755,root,root:/opt/chia/chrome-sandbox",

but not in the deb

Ubuntu 24 must have done something to need this now so we should add it to the deb

Fixed in 2.4.0
