  2. Hey, I installed google chrome using these commands and it using the sandbox command but when I click on the icon from the applications menu it shows me it’s loading but then it just stops. Also, it shows me this:

    “[0527/035217.058538:ERROR:nacl_helper_linux.cc(307)] NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!
    Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly”
