Can't run an AppImage on Ubuntu 20.

04
Asked 3 years, 3 months ago Modified 2 months ago Viewed 148k times
68 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 :)

20.04 fuse appimage

ia32 sounds strange. What do you have for arch; uname -a ? – N0rbert Sep 14, 2021 at 20:28

It was the wrong arch indeed. Thank you! – user919500 Sep 15, 2021 at 3:21

107 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. – Bono May 23, 2023 at 9:58

Similarly to what Bono said, I (thought I) required fuse too on Jammy, having libfuse2 already installed without Etcher correctly running.
It turned out that apt install fuse made up a REAL PACKAGE MESS because it said fuse3 kdeconnect kio-fuse kubuntu-
desktop ntfs-3g plasma-discover-backend-snap sshfs xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal-
kde . Then be careful. – Patrizio Bertoni Jan 21, 2024 at 12:01

4 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 .

1 Can't believe I've dowloaded the wrong version. Now it's working. Thank you! – user919500 Sep 15, 2021 at 3:21

7 For someone who downloaded the correct version should run sudo apt-get install fuse libfuse2 and enjoy – George Pligoropoulos

2 @GeorgePligoropoulos installing libfuse2 did the trick for me. Not fuse , that would conflict with fuse3 that I already have, but the library
was required – Ilario Dec 6, 2022 at 13:45
