ERROR: appimage_register_in_system : boost::filesystem::permissions: Operation not permitted

Getting

ERROR: appimage_register_in_system : boost::filesystem::permissions: Operation not permitted: "/isodevice/Applications/kdenlive-17.12.0-x86_64.AppImage" for AppImages which are stored in the read-only location /isodevice/Applications.

Why does it want to write there? This needs to be fixed. We cannot assume that AppImages reside on writeable partitions.

Is this only about setting the executable bit? Then it should give a more appropriate message, and only if the file is not already executable.

KDenlive is not in the menu.

Yes, will take a look at it.

[azubieta]

Fixed on libappimage:fix_set_execution_permissions_operation_not_permitted. Mind to try it with appimaged?

How can I know which version of libappimage is in there? (Hello monorepo...)

I am doing this in https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged/commit/8f9d05e9c6dc2a2b670688d0f4fa683aa78e2958 so I was hoping to get the latest libappimage...

How can I know which version of libappimage is in there?

cd lib/libappimage/
git status # this should tell you in which libappimage branch you are 
git fetch
git checkout origin/fix_set_execution_permissions_operation_not_permitted

[probonopd]

No, I mean in the built resulting AppImage. (I don't build anything locally.)

[azubieta]

This should be have the binaries fixed: https://artifacts.assassinate-you.net/artifactory/appimaged/travis-121/appimaged-x86_64.AppImage

https://travis-ci.org/AppImage/appimaged/jobs/529519741

[azubieta]

by the way don't merge that branch in appimaged, it should come from libappimage:master once the pr is merged into master.

[probonopd]

Ah, it was not fixed yet in libappimage master. I see

[probonopd]

https://artifacts.assassinate-you.net/artifactory/appimaged/travis-121/appimaged-x86_64.AppImage looks good to me.

[azubieta]

fixed in #110, please reopen if the problem persists

Please always confirm using a continuous appimaged build from Travis CI build that the changes are actually working. Thanks!
