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!

When ran from the command line it gives
failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
Offline
Did you make it executable (as user) with command
chmod +x
Offline
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)

I think it is related to this

Read the header of /etc/fuse.conf. I have the following setup (fuse is required by vdev):
# The file /etc/fuse.conf allows for the following parameters:
#
# user_allow_other - Using the allow_other mount option works fine as root, in
# order to have it work as user you need user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf as
# well. (This option allows users to use the allow_other option.) You need
# allow_other if you want users other than the owner to access a mounted fuse.
# This option must appear on a line by itself. There is no value, just the
# presence of the option.
user_allow_other
# mount_max = n - this option sets the maximum number of mounts.
# Currently (2014) it must be typed exactly as shown
# (with a single space before and after the equals sign).
#mount_max = 1000
i.e., you want to enable user_allow_other.

Hi Red_Fir. I've encountered your issue with some recent appimages:
$ ./foo.AppImage
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
I'm able to fix the problem like this:
$ export FUSERMOUNT_PROG=$(which fusermount)
$ ./foo.AppImage
The bug was introduced by recent changes in the tools used to create appimages and has nothing to do with Devuan. Old appimages that were working fine on Devuan 4 (Chimaera) are still working fine for me on Devuan 5 (Daedalus) without the above workaround.

Right click the AppImage and select Properties, then click on the Permissions Tab, now put a check mark in "Allow this file to run as an app" cilck close now right click it again and select "execute" it should work now

^^The above reply is how I do mine, never had an issue, but all i'm using it for are browsers. Perhaps it's program-specific? Have you tried other appimages?
Just downloaded a nightly and an esr version of Firefox yesterday, and both work fine.
