unetbootin bin and Command LIne Execution

[anonprivate]

I downloaded the Linux version. I did not see a checksum.

The permissions are set. The programme is executable.

I might try another download.

I searched that error message and one of the things suggested was to make sure you're using the right version of the distro. Ergo, you downloaded the 64 bit AppImage so it won't work with 32 bit.

Otherwise, maybe AppImage doesn't work out the box with 14.04.

There are instructions here to install it from a repository: https://github.com/resin-io/etcher#d...nulinux-x86x64

Very well spotted.

I have two machines, one running a 32 bit OS; the other, running 64 bit.

I did try to run the 64 bit programme on the machine with the 32 bit OS.

I will let you know how I get on.

Ps. Have you come across the checksum

That will never work. You can run a 32-bit app on a 64-bit system, but you cannot run a 64-bit app on a 32-bit system; ever.

I can't find one on site but for my working one the sha256sum is

Using the 64 bit OS and Etcher (64 bit), the programme opened and I burned an iso to a pendrive. I must say it was straightforward.

I wonder why github talks about installing the programme. I did not install it

Glad it works for you that's the good part about the appimage you don't have to actually install the program.

That's why, IMO, AppImage is head and shoulders above all the other installers of the same type, like snap, etc.

I haven't tried it but I suspect that one could run it with firejail (and using Qt firejail tools), keeping it in its own sandbox.

Have you got the 32 bit checksum as well?

[anonprivate]

I use the AppImage from that source and it runs fine when I double click on it (my preferred setting). Did your download give a good checksum?

From what source did you obtain the checksum?

Thank you

If you can't find a checksum for an AppImage you can always prefix it with "firejail " when you run it, even from a menu option. That puts it in its own sandbox.

I don't have 'firejail' installed

[GreyGeek]

sudo apt update
sudo apt install firejail firetools

From a command line
firejail whatever.AppImage

If you've created a menu entry for an AppImage then in the command box prepend "firejail " in front of the AppImage command and save the item.
