Since Ubuntu 24.04, after installing EasyEDA, we will fail to run it, with this error "Ubuntu has experienced an internal error":

![Crash](https://quan-images.b-cdn.net/blogs/imgur/2026/9cQYCdK.png)

Here is how to fix it.

Open Terminal and go to EasyEDA installation folder, which is _/opt/easyeda_.

Try running EasyEDA by command line:

![Run from CLI](https://quan-images.b-cdn.net/blogs/imgur/2026/vA7TUaE.png)

It will crash right away, and notice the error message: "You need to make sure that /opt/easyeda/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755".

It is exactly the instruction what need to do to make EasyEDA runnable. Now check if _/opt/easyeda/chrome-sandbox_ is owned by root, by this command:

```shell-session
$ ll chrome-sandbox
.rwxrwxrwx 51k root root 23 Nov 22:06 chrome-sandbox
```

Good, the binary file has been under `root`. But the permission `rwxrwxrwx` is too open. Then we just need to change it per the above requirement with this command:

```shell-session
sudo chmod 4775 chrome-sandbox
```

![chrome-sandbox permission](https://quan-images.b-cdn.net/blogs/imgur/2026/jAxU2LB.png)

Check the permission again:

```shell-session
$ ll chrome-sandbox 
.rwsrwxr-x 51k root root 23 Nov 22:06 chrome-sandbox
```

Now it looks right. Let's try running EasyEDA again:

![EasyEDA run successfully](https://quan-images.b-cdn.net/blogs/imgur/2026/KeFtc8L.png)

Bravo, EasyEDA has run succesfully!
