appimages?

HI,

I am using  a reasonably fresh( 2 month) old install of devuan.

I am trying to run an appimage.

It is for an email client - called Criptext.

In ''properties'' for the image, , I have altered the permission to read & write, and also made the image ''executable''

However, no matter what I do , the app will not run upon double click.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong :-)

Thanks

Re: appimages?

Maybe this is due to sandboxing. Try adding --no-sandbox to the launch command. I found that : https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comment … s_without/

Re: appimages?

If you want my advice, dont use appimages. Use services like tutanota or protonmail and learn how to use gpg to encrypt messages over the net. Ive used tutanota to send encrypted emails that they say are end to end encrypted only for the recipient who uses yahoo is able to fully read the email i sent that was supposedly encrypted.I would be surprised if this cryptext email is actually end to end encrypted.

edit: i guess im just reiterating that the endpoint of end to end encryption is a security risk. Most services offer encrypted tansfer of emails, but if doesn't land at the other end encrypted then it is not truly end to end encrypted imo.

HI,

Already used Protonmail for a year.

Would rather have my mail stored locally.

Hi,

So -- how do I alter the permissions for that temporary mount point? - isn't the program aborted , hence the tmp mount point is aborted as well??

Certainly can't find it in the file system---WARNING--- noob.

Cheers

Re: appimages?

Just install the gnome-keyring package and see if that fixes things.

Re: appimages?

O.K.

that was wierd?

I tried to install gnome keyring using synaptic.

it said in order to install this it had to remove - a long list of stuff?

In fact this list was so long I didn't do it - it even included xfce4  stuff, and other appimages I have that work fine? - whats going on there!

I found the .deb package that I installed instead.

Didn't seem to make any difference.

So went to the link Dice gave about missing libraries.

Tried to install the packages that included the libraries.

I still can't run by double clicking, but if I run from terminal using <--no-sandbox>, it runs.

Now just need to find a way of running from the desktop without having to go into terminal all the time:-)

cheers

Easy-peasy: edit the .desktop file

Re: appimages?

I didnt give you a link about missing libraries that was the other dice wink

I would seriously reconsider installing this JavaScript/Electron monstrosity.

Sounds like http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=104157

Can we see

apt install --simulate gnome-keyring

Might be best to open another thread about this though.

here is the output:

apt install --simulate gnome-keyring

      apt needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

gnome-keyring is already the newest version (3.28.2-5).

- since I avoided anything catastrophic, I might just leave this - I sense the rabbit hole might be a bit deep for a noob  :-)

If you are suffering with the "metapackage problem" then you could find most of your desktop removed if you don't pay close attention to package management.

Is anything slated for autoremoval?

apt --simulate autoremove

If that command gives a list of packages then read the link I supplied in my last post and open a new thread if you can't figure out how to fix things. If the command doesn't list anything then just ignore this post.
