[SOLVED] FreeCAD.appimage not run

[alexefu73]

Yes I tried running it ...

Exactly what did you type to try running it?

Exactly.

Here I typed:
sudo ./FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage

And the same message appear:

[sudo] password for khalid_lol:
open dir error: No such file or directory

[looo]

open dir error: No such file or directory

This is a known issue, but most likely not the issue why the appimage doesn't work in your case. Is there no other information available?

No, there is nothing else, just this message..

This sounds like the file is not executable.

Assuming you downloaded the file to the Downloads folder, it should have regular user permissions. You don't need root for things like this.

Code: Select all

cd Downloads
chmod a+x FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage
./FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage

If I try to execute a non executable file on Linux I get the message "Permission denied" rather than the message from OP.

Indeed, it's already executable, I made it executable befor try to run it. And the same message appear..

I don't see any linux appimage with Py3Qt5 in the name on the downloads page. Py3Qt5 only appears in the Win appimages. Are you sure you have typed the name correctly?

We removed PY3QT5 from the 0.19 appimage name. The 0.18 appimage still has this additional naming.

Maybe it's possible to run get a crash report with gdb?

Sorry. I read it as 0.19. I guess I need a bigger font...


in any case, the error msg is file not found rather than no permission so there must be something wrong with OP's filename/path/directory.

I launch the appimage with a mouse double click. Perhaps OP can report on what that does.

I'll try to use gdb with it. Then send the report.. thank you.
