Unable to launch any app installed using `dpkg -i`

us flag

I am unable to launch any app installed using dpkg -i. I'm using Firefox to download the .deb file. When I install it using:

sudo dpkg -i app_name.deb

I can't run it normally. I need to use:

app_name --no-sandbox

to run the app. I can't open it using GUI or by running app_name in terminal, as normal.

How to fix this?

Here are some details about my system:

The --no-sandbox parameter is app/program specific. We need to know what app you are trying to run to understand what --no-sandbox means to that command and why you need it.

If it's chrome/chromium, or some other app based on them, then it's because you are running it as root or through sudo, and it doesn't support running at all as root without --no-sandbox

Whatever app .deb image I'm downloading it's showing same result. For example I had currently faced this thing with microsoft-edge-stable and vscode

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
