.Appimage wont launch no matter what

I downloaded RPCS3 Appimage, bcouse on AUR its like 40 builds behind, but apps wont launch bcos of some security reasons.


I tried it with AppImageLauncher, but It doeasnt work or im too dumb to understand how that works

I downloaded the app myself and I asked my browser to launch, which prompted an error message, probably the same one you have (I can’t read Polish).

The solution was to open Dolphin, find the AppImage, right click on the AppImage, go to Properties, then to Permissions and tell Dolphin to launch the AppImage as its own thing.

In the terminal, you can find the AppImage and make it executable with the command chmod +x file_name_here.AppImage.

I already did that

Not sure why it’s not working for you. I downloaded the rpcs3 to my desktop and just double-clicked the appimage and had no issue.

You could try Gear Lever, an alternative to Appimage Launcher.

I get this log

If I run gearlever from terminal, I get that as well, but it still opens…

Why are you opening it from the terminal? Try clicking the icon in the application menu…

It still wont work. If u wont some info about my pc or sum just ask if that helps

I don’t know that I can help much further other than to show the various ways that are supposed to work. For some reason, none work for you.

I’m sure someone with a bit more knowledge than me will chime in with some ideas.

What logs do you get if you try to launch the AppImage from the terminal? Navigate to the folder you have your AppImage and do ./AppImage_file.

[ja@ja-ms7c56 Applications]$ ./rpcs3-v0.0.34-17489-a29ecaf1_linux_aarch64_5ac387d03a5d506dc03fab5a3e7dfad7.AppImage
[appimage-binfmt-bypass/bin] ERROR: failed to execute patched runtime: Exec format error
I think its a format error :3

Please post your detailed computer specifications using this command: inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog
It will give you a link in the terminal. Copy it here and post it.

I’ve also noticed something: you downloaded the ARM64 version of the app. Unless you use this on an ARM based computer, this won’t work on an x86_64 based system.

I also tried with x64 and no diffrence, same output

Then please send the output of this command: inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog

I’m personally stuck. I don’t know why you have this issue. I think it might be better to ask on RPCS3 forums or on their Discord.

@pawfix ,
The first error message: ‘For security reasons, we have disabled file execution in this case.’ i.e. missing x (run access right)
Moreover not all versions are complete or like KDE.
Download as an example from here
faine
chmod +x ~/Downloads/rpcs3-v0.0.34-17476-15937044_linux64.AppImage
replace Downloads to Pobrane if I’m not mistaken
If AppImageLauncher is installed and you made a directory
mkdir ~/Applications
then double-clicking to Appimage you can move it to the above directory plus a Desktop shortcut and/or Application Menu shortcut can be created. Some unique name will be given to the Appimage.
The version above is running here / with me.
There will be an Update available window. The update is not always successful, but the old version is preserved with _old extension and you can run it without renaming.
AppImageLauncher is optional but it make your life easier IMHO.
