Soo Devuan 5 was cranking along okee dokee and I applied the system updates this morning,... after that I attempted to download  Prusa Slicer as an Appimage
it half downloaded and stalled out, I attempted again and it half downloaded and told me I was out of space,
Properties of the download folder tell me it's 4 Gb in size, and has 160 Gb capacity, and all 160 Gb are used up, ... but it will continue to half download every thing I try and then fail  out.
I have multiple partial downloads so its obviously not out of space because it continues to accrue half downloads.

I assume a bug came with the update?
Where to from here?

yes

when executed from the command line (as user) the full message is

"fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory"

When invoked via sudo it executes (but as a new user without a game history)

When ran from the command line it gives

So I have XFCE on Devuan5
I recently downloaded an appimage that will not execute as user, It executes without hitch as root.
Other appimages run flawlessly but not this one. (Endless_Sky-v0.10.8-x86_64.AppImage)

I assume that I need to be a part of some group?
Any direction would be good!

That worked wonderfully!
While I was there I added the swap, now can I just delete the swapfile?

A thousand pardons!
Dell 9020 Tower, bone stock with the exception of 32 GB memory (and of course the multiple drives)
Booting into efi is the only option currently enabled in BIOS and all hard drives are formatted to GPT specs,
no boot sticks, started from live CD in both cases, in every case but the current solution I did a manual partition, (since the other affected disks were unplugged to achieve this there was no sense in a manual partition.
(Is there a reason BTRFS is not an option with Devuan?)
in this case I simply selected an ext4 partition for / (all other options being unplugged at the time!)

Anyway...thanks for reiterating my question as a statement of what I should do, in your final line ... how do I ensure that's the only /home in use and not the current file existent with this install?

So I tried to install Beowulf ....no joy it would not write to the efi partition,
Tried to install Daedalus .... no joy it would not write to efi partition
During both installs it  probed and found my sda1 (1 GB, efi) partition and gave an error 127 on grub install
Noodling around in the live CD I fired up GParted and it listed my sda disk (ssd) as a different disk (actual sdc, (sdb is a ssd windows  disk))
sdc is a regular HDD with /home and /swap on it... it also has an efi partition (so does the windisk for what its worth!)  but I consistently pointed the installer to sda1, and it didn't, write to the wrong efi partition either.
(sda is dedicated to testing systemd free distros, sda2 is void Linux, sda3 is PCLOS, and sda4 Devuan

In desperation I unplugged the sdb, and sdc disks from the SATA controller and reinstalled aaand, ... no joy it would not write to the efi partition!
But, when booting into sda3 (PCLOS) and running grub_update it found the Devuan (sda4) and included it in the grub list, FINALLY getting me to a Devuan install.

It still does not register with the UEFI Bios, .. but is in Grub

Now how do I link to, and ensure the old /home on sdc4 is used as /home.
And how do I lose the swapfile, and ensure the old swap partition on sdc2 is active on boot?
