generating PDF is failing with little clues about md-to-pdf HOT 3 CLOSED

I have solved solved it at the end using installing Chrome (really needed?) and doing:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

However, I think documentation in https://github.com/simonhaenisch/md-to-pdf#installation could be improved. If Chrome (or some chrome-related setting) is a requirement, it shoulb be explained in that section.

Hi, there's a --debug flag for the command, which should give you more detailed info.

The reason is probably either that you're missing a dependency or that the sandboxing isn't working for you (in which case you can try disabling it by passing --launch-options="['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']").

The reason you're only seeing this line of the error is because Listr only prints the last line, which is often good enough but not in this case. I should probably catch this special error.

Yes. I think it would be a good idea.

In addition, explaining the requirements regarding Chrome in the installation instructions in the main README.md at https://github.com/simonhaenisch/md-to-pdf#installation should be also very desirable. Thanks!

(Feel free of closing this issue if you think the issue is coverd or leave it opened if if is usefult to you to keep track of the possible task related with it, i.e. capture error, documentation improvement, etc.).
