Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?

daxtas · 2022-06-18T15:42:59Z

I downloaded Appimage. It does not open. It is not a permissions issue.
I installed APT, it does not open.
What I can do?

Hello,
Thank you for your great product.

Unfortunately, I've the same problem.
Here is the result when i launch balena etcher from the terminal:

thanks for the clarification @pdiasgon,
your problem is described in #3647 and many duplicate issues.

pdiasgon · 2022-06-20T14:35:52Z

Thank's

I tried running ./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-ia32.AppImage on Ubuntu 20.04. Error below. I already have fuse and libfuse2 installed.

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

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. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information```

lurch · 2022-06-21T10:51:51Z

@Erol444 You probably need to run the 64-bit AppImage rather than the 32-bit one.

Erol444 · 2022-06-21T10:54:58Z

I went with the installation rather than AppImage and it works as expected:)

If you install FUSE, make sure you install FUSE3 and not the standard FUSE. There is an issue with FUSE where it will remove your Gnome icons from the desktop and the option to manage them due to an incompatibility with Ubuntu 22.04 and the updated GNOME libraries. Just my $.02

lidarbtc · 2022-07-05T11:24:02Z

use ./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage --no-sandbox

It works for me.

Experiencing same issue as @Erol444.

Any way to solve the issue without installing FUSE as it is not recommended for Ubuntu 22.4?

You could use the deb package instead of the AppImage?

Following the steps provided at https://github.com/balena-io/etcher#packages (adding Etcher Debian repository and installing) I get an access Icon on the Applications window. But it doesn't open the program when clicked.

You can simply use 'apt' to install FUSE3. I had this issue on 22.04 and it fixed it.

Using FUSE on 22.04 is not recommended because it conflicts with some of the Ubuntu installations for things like desktop icons, etc. FUSE3 doesn't have this issue and everything works correctly with Ubuntu and Etcher appimages.

ollinurb · 2022-07-25T15:07:25Z

FUSE3 comes installed onto 22.04. Running 'apt' to install it just confirms that the package is already there.

Checking the issues of AppImage I decided to install libfuse2.

for the last one check #3639

for the last one check #3639

Thanks. Running ./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage --disable-gpu-sandbox I can successfully open balenaEtcher.

pablofl · 2022-08-01T02:46:50Z

as workaround:

sudo nautilus
click the AppImage

KamilGaribov · 2022-11-26T15:17:38Z

Enable "Execute" from properties/permissions of balenaEtcher.AppImage

peliopoulos · 2022-12-21T20:56:05Z

Possible workaround for gnome at least:
#3809 (comment)

EnzoCamilo · 2023-01-07T23:33:07Z

use ./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage --no-sandbox

It works for me.

it's not working for me
