Running slrn on Mageia 7. When I click on a web link which opens a
browser window, I keep getting the error message (plastered across my
slrn display
:ERROR:nacl_helper_linux.cc(308)] NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!
Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly

No idea what this means or how I would "configure my SUID sandbox"
correctly or incorrectly.

Just realised I did not say what browser-- google-chrome-stable-83.0.4103.116-1

google-chrome-stable-83.0.4103.116-1

With chromium-browser-stable from the Mageia 7 repos ...
$ ll /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 26408 May 8 21:09 /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox*

Look for the equivalent file for google-chrome, and check it's permission settings,
especially the s (setuid) for the user part, which can be fixed using chmod u+s on
that file.

>ls -l /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox

So it certainly seems to be OK.

There is also another chrome-sandbox in
>ls -l /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5581136 May 12 11:27 /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox

but surely that is not the one that is used since that directory is
not in my PATH (but of course neither is /opt/google/chrome in PATH)

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable should be in your path.
In that file I add --no-sandbox to the exec statement.
That shows a warning at chrome startup but thereafter
chrome runs fine.
