installing noisetorch on Mint with permissions and setuid and CAP_SYS_RESOURCE

Installed noisetorch, it complained about CAP_SYS_RESOURCE like the last time and I fixed it by installing polkit like the last time, didn’t work though.

Issue seems to be that by default Mint has the home partition mounted with nosetuid1, confirmed by doing mount.

Fix was to put the binary in /opt, the prompt is the same but after entering the password it works and I see the expected interface.

  1. is a data partition best mounted with NOEXEC & NOSUID? - Linux Mint Forums ↩︎
