appimaged doesn't work

[Foro38]

I did:

wget https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/releases/download/continuous/appimaged-640-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x appimaged-640-x86_64.AppImage
./appimaged-640-x86_64.AppImage

Then I get this error

2021/02/27 23:50:35 Desktop notification: Not running on one of the supported Live systems This configuration is currently unsupported but may still work, please give feedback.
2021/02/27 23:50:35 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERROR: notification: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

Apparently you are not running on one of the supported Live systems.

Apparently you are not running on one of the supported Live systems.

Hello, I'm experiencing the same issue on Fedora 33 Cinnamon edition. Could you please tell me which operating systems are actually supported? Thanks.

My error says:

@probonopd Hi, new update. After seemingly failing the first time, waiting a while gives another output in the terminal and actually adds the appimage I downloaded (Notable note app) from the Downloads folder.

And the desktop notification says appimage added. So it's working as intended.

BTW, what is the recommended way to uninstall appimaged if I want it? Thanks.

@Dyrimon as the notification says, it's just a warning that it might not work on your system as it's not the intended testing environment, but it's still working unless it runs into an actual error.

@Foro38 it seems like the error your having is related to his system not providing org.freedesktop.Notification, presumably when it tries to show the warning as a desktop notification. Are you possibly trying to run the app without a DE or with a DE without notifications? Either way we should probably not make notifications completely necessary.

[probonopd]

We are currently testing on a Ubuntu bionic Live ISO.
Given your information, I have also tested it on a Fedora 33 Live ISO and it is working for me.

I don't know whether it works on recent versions of Fedora that have been installed to hard disk.

Originally I wanted to white-list only the distributions we have specifically tested on, and that we actively can support.

In #46 @KaKi87 suggested that we should open it up for unknown/unsupported distributions as well, hence I had temporarily relaxed the restriction in f1ebcce with the result that it might or might not work.

[probonopd]

@Foro38 which system are you trying to run this on?

Same problem here. After ~/Applications/appimaged-*.AppImage I received:

This looks like it is working correctly and appimaged is now running as a systemd service. You can check this by running systemctl --user status appimaged
