[DeepanshuMishraa]

Operating system

Linux

Version

0.5.6.1

Have you tested that this is not an upstream issue or an issue with your configuration?

• I have tried reproducing this issue in Chrome and it could not be reproduced there
• I have tried reproducing this issue in ungoogled-chromium and it could not be reproduced there
• I have tried reproducing this issue in Helium with a new and empty profile using --user-data-dir command line argument and it could not be reproduced there

Description

I installed the helium app image but it is failing to install on arch linux

How to Reproduce?

1. Download the helium app image
2. chmod +x ./helium-0.5.6.1-x86_64.AppImage
3. ./helium-0.5.6.1-x86_64.AppImage

Actual behavior

libpng warning: iCCP: unexpected zlib return code
libpng error: unexpected zlib return code
libpng warning: iCCP: unexpected zlib return code

fuse: memory allocation failed
squashfuse 0.5.2 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

Usage: squashfuse [options] ARCHIVE MOUNTPOINT

(null) options:
-o offset=N offset N bytes into ARCHIVE to mount
-o subdir=PATH mount subdirectory PATH of ARCHIVE
-o notify_pipe=PATH named pipe that will receive 's' (success)
or 'f' (failure) when the mountpoint is ready
-o timeout=N idle N seconds for automatic unmount
-o uid=N set file owner to uid N
-o gid=N set file group to gid N

FUSE options:
-h --help print help
-V --version print version
-d -o debug enable debug output (implies -f)
-f foreground operation
-s disable multi-threaded operation
-o clone_fd use separate fuse device fd for each thread
(may improve performance)
-o max_idle_threads the maximum number of idle worker threads
allowed (default: -1)
-o max_threads the maximum number of worker threads
allowed (default: 10)

Can't open squashfs image: Bad address

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
execv error: No such file or directory

Expected behavior

It should run the app

Additional context

I have tried running other .appimage files and none of them are giving me this error , seems to be a problem with helium.

Check if you have both packages fuse2 and fuse3 installed.
Alternatively you can also do ./helium-0.5.6.1-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract and then run the AppRun in the resulting squashfs-root (i dont even know if extracting works without fuse).

For Arch Linux theres also an AUR package that can be installed with your favorite AUR manager: paru -S helium-browser-bin

[DeepanshuMishraa]

Yep, I have both the fuse2 and fuse3 installed and I tried the app image extract thing too but gives the same error always, but yeah I finally installed it using AUR but I don't think this should happen

[iraizo]

I cant seem to reproduce this on two of my systems or on a live iso

[dumbmoron]

this is likely not a helium issue, but it might be worth looking into why this happens so anyone else encountering this can work around it
