Error: chmod: cannot access '/opt/unityhub/chrome-sandbox': No such file or directory
I'm having a problem where I followed the tutorial on the unity website to install unity hub for Linux (https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/manual/InstallHub.html#install-hub-linux) on my Ubuntu 22.04 based computer. The instructions seemed to work except for this error message that appears every time I reattempt the install:
chmod: cannot access '/opt/unityhub/chrome-sandbox': No such file or directory
I did some research online and found that chrome-sandbox or chromium (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/design/sandbox.md) is apparently some type of security software that creates a separate part of the computer within which the app can run and it seems like unity uses this feature. I tried running --no-sandbox along with the install and also when running unity hub straight through the terminal with sudo unityhub --no-sandbox but none of those options worked.
I also looked in the /opt/unityhub directory and couldn't find any folder or file named chrome-sandbox. I also tried using the app image but had some issues with that so what I would prefer doing is fixing this install. This might be a noob question or problem but I hope its not, does anyone know what I can do about this to get it to work? I've been trying to solve it for like a month intermittently and I'm starting to feel very dumb.
