If you run the app image from a terminal, do you get any error output. We still have the issue that the AppImage requires FUSE2 to run. For modern distributions that means that libfuse2 either needs to be installed manually, or the AppImage needs to be extracted with ./aspect-... --appimage-extract.
I’ll have another look, though, whether this can be made to work properly by now with the system we are using. Last time I’ve checked, we would have had to completely change the AppImage build process, which right now doesn’t really fit in the time budget.
Mmmmh, it’s very weird: if I try to run the file from terminal, I get zsh: no such file or directory: ./aspect.appimage, but I am sure the file name is correct, and it appears in ls -al…
I just tried on Linux Mint 22, with libfuse2 installed and running/installing with Gear Lever as worked fine there. After I removed libfuse2, Gear Lever did show an error message suggesting to install FUSE 2 or to extract the AppImage, so that is probably not the issue either.
So it looks like this might actually be some issue with Aspect itself. Can you have a look whether /tmp/aspect-log.sdl exists and paste/attach that here if it does?
I installed Fedora 41 in a VM and tested it there. For me, everything worked flawlessly out of the box, both by making the AppImage executable and double-clicking, as well as using Gear Lever. In contrast to Ubuntu, it wasn’t necessary to install FUSE 2 libraries.
To hopefully get to the root of this, though, can you try to run the following commands in a terminal and see what the output is?
It’s really strange that the shell wouldn’t find the executable when it’s obviously there. By the way, do you have zsh set up as your default shell? For my vanilla installation it’s using bash and zsh isn’t installed.
