Appimage unable to run or install after unlock.

[DIGist]

Loading an appimage seems fine:

After hitting unlock though, it blanks the info and launch/move to app menu remain inactive:

Log shows:

Appimage is: https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Cromite-AppImage/releases

I experienced the same problem when I took an appimage not in the folder used by GearLever. It was a problem of permissions in the log. If you move the appimage to the folder set in the preferences, it works.

Thanks for the share, Unfortunately it seems to still result in the same behavior.

I created the folder for Gear in Gear when selecting the preferred folder (it will open a file manager). And I did the move myself outside of the app with the file manager. EDIT: It was on Lubuntu 18.04 24.04

I got this err.
Here I selected the Appimage in another folder (/appImagesClassic) and try to run it without moving.

Line 340 is the last err. You should extend the exception to get the stack trace.

So I asked the Cromite team just in case. It appears they use "uruntime" instead of the normal appimage type 2 runtime. They wonder if the unzipping program doesn't work with dwarFS used in the uruntime:
