Chrome-sandbox error in IDE 2.3 in Ubuntu 24.04

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hi, I'm trying to setup an installation of the IDE 2.3 in a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (beta) environment, and am facing an issue I'm unable to resolve.

What I tried from the internet
The App Image complains about Chrome Sandbox. Someone has had this issue in the past, but in their case, they got a path for chrome-sandbox in /home/username/... so it was always the same, and they could chown it. I'm getting a random path in /tmp and it always vanishes after the App Image crashes.

I've tried these ownership combinations for the App Image, and all three give the same issue:

$ sudo chown username:username arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage
$ sudo chown root:username arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage
$ sudo chown root:root arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage

How do I proceed?

Released 24.04, Arduino crashes. Or is SIGTRAP deliberately dumping core instead of exiting with error code?

It will run with --no-sandbox . Why is it using a sandbox? It that an Appimage thing? Why can't we just use an old-fashioned debian package?

I see the same issue, but no solution:

$ ./arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage
