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
- 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.
- 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
- Install from ppa as documented at https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/wiki/Install-on-Ubuntu-or-Debian . Stable release channel is picked
- 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.
- 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
