[24377:0812/042355.069283:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_das-elZOz7Kl/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

… try run the AppImage with --no-sandbox flag: 

das-element_x.x.x_lin.AppImage --no-sandbox
