Apparently this affects most if not all flavors of Ubuntu. Especially the default flavor.
The AppImage format for distributing applications is centered around the idea that a user can boot the Ubuntu Live ISO, download an application in AppImage format, make it executable, and run it without having to install anything. Not having libfuse2 and fusermount on the Live ISO breaks this for all existing AppImages out there. AppImage tooling (the tools application authors use to produce AppImages of their software) will have to be updated by the AppImage project, but even once it is, it will take considerable time until all application authors release updated AppImages of their software. Hence, asking for a defined grace period until fuse2 gets removed from the Ubuntu Live ISO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965636 Title: libfuse2 no longer included in jammy, required for AppImages Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-budgie-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntukylin-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntustudio-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Attempting to run an AppImage in Xubuntu 22.04 displays the following error: $ ./cryptomator-1.6.5-x86_64.AppImage dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 AppImages require FUSE to run. 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 --- Simply installing libfuse2 resolves this issue. Some flavors seem to still include it. I noticed that today's Ubuntu MATE daily still does. Ubuntu and Xubuntu do not.
