Can't run an AppImage on Ubuntu 20.04

cn flag

I'm not able to run AppImages on my Ubuntu 20.04. All the permissions are ok (see pic 1) and I have tried the terminal too (see pic 2). The messages in the terminal are dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 and AppImages require FUSE to run. but fuse is already installed (see pic 3), it says fuse is already the newest version (2.9.9-3). I've tried to reinstall fuse with the --reinstall apt option, same results.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance :)

Permissions are ok

Tried the terminal

Fuse is already installed

ia32 sounds strange. What do you have for `arch; uname -a`?

It was the wrong arch indeed. Thank you!

I solved the issue related to the error message:

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run.

By installing FUSE.

For Ubuntu < 22.04 use:

sudo apt-get install fuse libfuse2

For Ubuntu >= 22.04 use:

sudo apt install libfuse2

I did required `fuse` for my AppImage to work on Ubuntu >= 22.04.

You have to download appimage for your actual CPU architecture.

The most popular is amd64. So download link for BalenaEtcher would be https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.5.122/balenaEtcher-1.5.122-x64.AppImage .

Can't believe I've dowloaded the wrong version. Now it's working. Thank you!

For someone who downloaded the correct version should run `sudo apt-get install fuse libfuse2` and enjoy

@GeorgePligoropoulos installing `libfuse2` did the trick for me. Not `fuse`, that would conflict with `fuse3` that I already have, but the library was required

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.
