Public bug reported: There is popular software in the ecosystem that is distributed *solely* as an AppImage for Linux. An example of this is LM-Studio:
https://lmstudio.ai/ When trying to run it, a user is presented with the following: $ ./Downloads/LM-Studio-0.4.0-18-x64.AppImage dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 AppImages require FUSE to run. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE If I install libfuse2t64 (which provides that) it works just fine. ---- Of course; the preference would be that lm-studio packages as a Debian package or Snap, but the reality is there is software that doesn't do this. To reduce resistance as it pertains to running this kind of software, I think a pragmatic response is to seed libfuse2t64 as a Recommends for ubuntu-meta. ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2139352 Title: Should libfuse2 be seeded by default?
