Running the AppImage via terminal gives the following output:

duplicate of #3647

etcher developers are not updating their very old version of electron for unknown reasons to solve this bug
they need to upgrade to electron >=14 electron/electron#31091
(actually it was successfully backported to 13.5.Y but doesn't exist on the 12.x.y branch)

etcher is known to be broken due to this on almost all the latest linux OSs

[survivor303]

Almost month from the latest build, no apt for debian based systems and now they not update electron to be compatible with anything. is this project dead?

I can confirm this is an issue that's happening on 22.04 LTS as well.

In Ubuntu 22.04, as stated in a related thread, this does work for now:

./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

Using these switches is not recommended though. Frankly, I trust my AppImage and I just need the tool to work... so, no sandbox for me!

After installing FUSE I was able to run the appimage perfectly.

For example, on Ubuntu (>= 22.04):

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install libfuse2

For example, on Ubuntu (<= 21.10):

sudo apt install fuse libfuse2
sudo modprobe fuse
sudo groupadd fuse

user="$(whoami)"
sudo usermod -a -G fuse $user

For example, on openSUSE:

sudo zypper install fuse libfuse2

In order to use fusermount on OpenSUSE with the default (?) "secure" file permission settings (see /etc/permissions.secure), your login needs to be part of the trusted group. To add yourself, run

sudo usermod -a -G trusted whoami

Then log out and log in for the change to take effect.

For example, on Fedora:

dnf install fuse

FWIW, version 1.5.19-x64 still works without issue in Ubuntu 22.04.

[jacob2020baklas]

i confirm the bug in : Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
even with libfuse2

[jacob2020baklas]

--no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

this works

Can confirm this worked for me on 22.10 just as you have it. Thanks!

I can reproduce this issue on my ubuntu live usb, having run chmod +x on the .AppImage. It seems fuse3 is installed natively on the ubuntu live.

AppImages require FUSE to run.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
