The file has the right permissions and is set to be executable so it *should* work.

The command ./appimage_file_name just calls the app as if it had been double clicked and the 'Illegal Instruction' response shows there's a problem with it.

Is your file a fresh download from their releases page ?  Maybe try that ?

Same for Linux Lite.

Open a terminal in the appimage directory and post the result from

Code: [Select]
ls -l
Try running the appimage from the terminal to see if it throws an error replacing 'appimage_file_name' with your app.

Code: [Select]
./appimage_file_name

Other distros I used only required making the appimage file executable, and then double-click to activate it.

I downloaded the same appimage file to Linuxmint and Linux-lite 5.8. The file runs as it normally does on Linuxmint, but won't launch on Linux-lite 5.8. I've had two other XFCE desktops on other distros, and they worked fine on those platforms.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.
