[SOLVED] FreeCAD.appimage not run

Post by alexefu73 »

Hi every one,
I have just downloaded FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage 551MB file.
Then made it executable but when I run with double click it's not run, and tried to run from terminal, not run but display the following message:


open dir error: No such file or directory


What is the problem and how could I solve it.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You did not tell what system you have, which sure could help helping. As far as I know the AppImage creates some files in the /tmp directory or a subdirectory thereof. Check read/write access and other special things such as settings of environment variables changing this or a network mounted temp directory.

Yes, I'm sorry, I'm working on Deepin 15.11:
Intel core i5 x86_64bit,
4GB RAM,
Intel graphics card and Nvidia graphics card 1GB.

And the permissions on /tmp is:
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 816 Feb 23 14:46 tmp

What environment variables should I check. And how to check the network mounted temp directory. and Thanks for reply.

If you don't know, you most probably don't have it.

You try running FreeCAD as root.

This is very bad advice chris. I think the problem is alex is new to Linux in general, so he doesn't understand all concepts.

Alex, did you read the information in AppImage?

I should have said indeed that it wasn't meant to be a permanent solution, but only to narrow the error down.
