--- Comment #8 from [email protected] --- Well the AppImage is a chrooted like bundle. It must run without any host system dependencies excepted the core libc which depend of the Linux Kernel and vis-versa). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage The chroot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot) allow to secure the program execution and the host system. With the AppImage this is done at the first time of the startup. Executable is decompressed in memory and mounted somewhere in /tmp using Fuse. After that it run as a chrooted program. The way to uncompress manually the appimage and run it as well will reduce the chroot operation (i'm not sure about this point). This can have good side-effects at run time. In other word something is not well compatible in your system with the AppImage mechanism or something is missing. It's difficult to judge without to be online on your computer, but it's another story... Best regards Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
