New Linux user here.
Unfortunately the current cuurent AppImage doesn’t seem to work for me?
Could not open “MidihubEditor 1.16.1.AppImage”. Archive type not supported.
Linux Mint using XFCE like the threadstarter. I haven’t seem to have had any trouble with other .AppImage programs and I thought that was the idea of them - to be basically self-contained and work regardless of distribution, dependencies etc.
Any ideas? Is it working for everyone else?
Thanks
Is this the output you get when trying to run it in the terminal?
./MidihubEditor_1.16.1.AppImage
Ah, trying running from the terminal gave me a much more useful “Permission Denied” message. I just chmod-ed it and the editor runs now (from both the terminal and opening via the xfce desktop).
Very new to Linux and hadn’t struck needing to manually give permission for a downloaded AppImage before. Thanks for the incredibly quick response!
You probably just needed to let Linux know that the AppImage is a program to run rather than a file to open. In Linux you can use the chmod command in a terminal as you did:
chmod a+x NameOfThe.AppImage
or, perhaps more easily, right-click the AppImage in the file browser and change its properties to “execute” or “mark as executable.” I use Linux Mint Cinnamon edition, so right-clicking opens this window (attached image).
