Ledger Live wont run.

[Eightimmortals]

Hey all, slowly getting through things but I'm stuck on getting Ledger Live to run. I have dl'd the appimage from the Ledger site and made it executable, I have libfuse 2 installed and followed the directions on the Ledger site. When I try to run the appimage nothing happens. Hope someone can help, many thanks.

There are other 'workarounds' but this appimage needs unprivileged usernamespaces, which needs a small hole for it punched through apparmor. So trusting the app is important.

Ugh, the only thing I dislike more than Electron apps are (most) Appimages. And the only thing worse than (most) Appimages are those that embed electron apps.

OK thanks, will have a read of your links.

Claydoh's first link suggests that your problem is the same as I, and other forum members have reported with AppImages.

If I run the Bitwarden AppImage I get

$ ./Bitwarden.AppImage   
[175644:0208/170418.619957:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(163)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_Bitwar2gNCXX/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)​

You might confirm that this is the problem by running the AppImage from a konsole, or proceed straight to the workaround, which is to use --no-sandbox. Either run it in a konsole with --no-sandbox on the command line, or right-click the menu item, click "Edit Application...", and on the "Application" tab and add --no-sandbox to the "Arguments".

I've little idea what security hole this opens, or if it is any worse than how they were run before 24.04. I presume we need to trust where we get the AppImages from, but that's usually true when downloading any kind of executable.
