Where can the AppImage be downloaded?

fredx181 commented 5 years ago

Here (under "Download:") https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/Readme-build-devuandog-beowulf.html (link is now on top of the README)
BTW... Thanks very much for all your work during the years ! I learned a lot and appimages can be very handy. I remember you had the portablelinuxapps forum, maybe you remember me, I was the one who experimented with portable wine and youtube-downloader.

Sorry, most of the time I login as root, so didn't notice earlier that it doesn't run as regular user. Running with sudo should work. Will update the page later with info about that. Maybe it's because I created the appimage as being root ?

probonopd commented 5 years ago

With sudo it works indeed. It should print out an error message at least. Thanks!

fredx181 commented 5 years ago

Should be fixed now (gives message (about required to run with sudo) when running as normal user)

@probonopd
I used your appimagetool now to create the appimage, earlier I used the commands from the AppimageKit README: 

mksquashfs Your.AppDir Your.squashfs -root-owned -noappend
cat runtime >> Your.AppImage
cat Your.squashfs >> Your.AppImage
chmod a+x Your.AppImage

What is missing above that it gives a segmentation fault when running as normal user ?

Great question, I don't know. Using appimagetool should be safer because it is much better tested than the manual method.

probonopd commented 5 years ago

probably means that Terminal=true should be set in the desktop file.

Even then, just clicking on the appimage will exit the program because it requires arguments, e.g. -guior -cli

Ah, pity, please let me know if you find out at sometime what's missing for the manual method.

Could/does it print some standard message (help text) when invoked without arguments or wrong arguments?
