Hello, I only got the first message on Linux Mint 19.3 but no launch either. Thanks

Same problem except that it was installed/launched with appimagelauncher. I'm on the same OS, also Gnome 41 and X11.

Hi, I was able to get it running using

chmod a+x ./Station-x86_64.AppImage
sudo ./Station_x86_64.AppImage --install --no-sandbox

However, I'm new to linux and do not understand how AppImages work. I used these commands in my Downloads folder. Output (while running) seemed to contain errors that look like this:

[09:12:22.910] [info] File: 20180227185500-add-notification-pref.js.map does not match pattern: /\.[jt]s$/

for basically every file that this application is build from. When running without sudo, the error output looked like this:

$ ./Station-x86_64.AppImage 
(electron) 'getName function' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'name property' instead.
Fontconfig warning: "/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/05-reset-dirs-sample.conf", line 6: unknown element "reset-dirs"

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Also, I was unable to build from the source code, because of node-gyp error that's caused by electron 17 and up.

My system: Linux 5.15.32-1-MANJARO

Edit: After some more googling, I found that that only the --no-sandbox argument (no sudo, no --install) is needed for the AppImage to run. I also found this thread, where they go deeper into the issue, however I feel like writing a script that runs the app with the argument and making that into a link is easier than fixing the issue itself (at least for me personally). I would be really glad if someone fixed it tho :D
