AppDir is ready. Please take a look into the directory to ensure everything is OK. Exec the AppRun (command './AppRun') to test if everything works.

~/Dow/arch/AppDir ./AppRun ./AppRun: line 14: /home/home/Downloads/arch2appimage-main/AppDir/"/opt/Mullvad: No such file or directory

I would recommend you to check the .desktop file in the AppDir. It porbably contains full paths in the Exec section. You will have to tweak that to make this work.

elogicuk commented 1 year ago

the .desktop file contains this

Exec="/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn" %U

what do i edit it to? (im a linux newbie) thanks

Hi, I just tried to make the AppImage but failed. It seems that the issue is far more complicated than it looks. Mullvad vpn has a systemd service that needs to run before the GUI starts. And those require sudo. Here this probably requires a lot of tweaking in the AppDir to make it work. Here is something i found which could be of help.
