I'm trying to run an AppImage on multipass, but it won't open a window

fk flag

I recently downloaded an App Image onto multipass and was hoping to run it, but when I did the terminal did this:

ubuntu@multipass1~$./appimage.appimage
ubuntu@multipass1~$

Nothing happened, no window opened. I know I probably have to install something, but what?

Thanks a lot.

Multipass is just for shell, but you can install the ubuntu desktop and install an rdp tool.

Based on this ubuntu tutorial here is how you can do that:

First go into the shell of your multipass instance, multipass shell my-multipass-name. Replace 'my-multipass-name' with your multipass instance name. If you don't know the name, use multipass list to find all instances.

Run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to update your multipass system.

After that's done, you need to install the ubuntu desktop and an rdp tool, sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop xrdp. APT should get you all the packages necessary.

Once you get the neccesary packages, you need to set a passwd for remoting into the system. sudo passwd [username]. Replace [username] with the username of your machine. If you didn't create a new user, the default is ubuntu.

Your guest ubuntu is now ready! Now we have to use your host system.

Install a program that uses xrdp:

Windows: You have the 'Remote Desktop Application'. Enter the IP (can be found in multipass list.

macOS/iOS: Install the 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' in the app store.

Linux: Remmina, you have to also have remmina-plugin-rdp along with the default remmina package on your host, otherwise it won't work.

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.
