  • [X] I checked for similar issues beforehand, but could not find any, not even closed ones. I could not add my bug report to any existing issue.
  • [X] I am going to take the time to to fill in all the required details. I know that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.

Describe the bug

System: Xubuntu 22.04 x64, all updates apt-gotten. I downloaded the Endless Sky v0.10.2 AppImage from https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/releases/tag/v0.10.2 I was able to cmdline launch that AppImage successfully. I then installed AppImageLauncher installed from PPM. After installing AppImageLauncher, trying to launch errors with a "execv error: No such file or directory"

Expected behavior

The Engless Sky AppImage should launch before and after installing AppImageLauncher.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Download Endless-Sky 0.10.2 from https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/releases/tag/v0.10.2 . Used latest Firefox to download, but I don't think that's related to this issue.
  2. From cmdline, chmod +x /Downloads/Endless_Sky-v0.10.2-x86_64.AppImage . Then execute "/Downloads/Endless_Sky-v0.10.2-x86_64.AppImage". Note that the game launches to the main menu
  3. Install from ppa as documented at https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/wiki/Install-on-Ubuntu-or-Debian . Stable release channel is picked
  4. Re-execute "~/Downloads/Endless_Sky-v0.10.2-x86_64.AppImage" . AppImageLauncher window appears. Accept ~/Applications as the dest location, pick install and run. Note that it does not launch.
  5. From cmdline, execute "~/Applications/Endless_Sky-v0.10.2-x86_64.AppImage". It errors out with a "execv error: No such file or directory"

What I've done to troubleshoot:

  • Re-download the AppImage from site, diff the files in ~/Downloads , diff that against copy in ~/Applications . Identical files, showing it has not been modified
  • Doing an apt search on AppImageLauncher shows this version: appimagelauncher/jammy,now 202211022349-stable-0f91801~ubuntu22.04.1 amd64 [installed]
  • I ran "strace ./Applications/Endless_Sky..." , stderr captured. That is attached. in the .zip
  • Download FreeCAD 64-bit appimage from https://wiki.freecad.org/Download . Using AppImageLauncher, it copied to ~/Applications, and launches fine

I have same problem on Manjaro with SimpleX app image (https://simplex.chat/downloads/). Without AppImageLauncher it works without issues. Same error as above: execv error: No such file or directory.
