Issues with AppImage File

• Apr 30, 2020 - 01:58

I don't know if it's an issue with the most recent form of Linux on the Chromebooks but for some reason every time I try to get the newest version of Muse-score to work I keep getting this error message

fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.

I have the latest version of Fuse, I've been trying to troubleshoot around this but I need help. Has anyone else had this issue, do you plan on making a video? Or could you send me one I have an Acer Chromebook Spin 11

I've never heard of Fuse, and have never seen any error message involving it when running MuseScore on my Chromebook. Can you explain more about it and your use or it and how it relates to MuseScore?

I think it might've been an issue of having to restart the computer to get it to run but now when I open it up it crashes the computer and makes it reboot all over again

Now that is an unfortunate known (to me, and a few others) issue with the latest version of ChromeOS, They have broken Linux apps pretty badly. It's been reported to Google, but so far no word on a fix. For me, MuseScore doesn't crash the system on open, but it like other Linux apps does crash the system a lot. It seems to help in some ways to disable GPU support in chrome://flags (search for "GPU" for crostini-gpu-support).

Thanks I'll try that for now.

Same thing happens on normal Linux, too:

$ ./MuseScore-3.6.2.548021370-x86_64.AppImage                                  
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory

Fixed by manually installing the fuse package, which is not installed by default:

sudo apt-get install fuse

So this isn’t quite a “no root, no installation needed” solution… especially as it involves a kernel module…

I had given up on this when I wrote to the forum in March of this year and could not get a solution, having missed the info you posted here the year before! Finally I can run musescore not billed as [and hopefully not behaving as] "unstable." The line you posted above saved me!
