Plexamp not running on Pop_OS 20.04 LTS

Tried this and it didn’t work. I don’t have any issues running the latest Ultimaker Cura which is an AppImage. So I think the issue lies with Plexamp.

Weird, this install of Pop_OS was less than 24 hours old and basically barely configured. I just re-installed and now it works… No idea must be gremlins.

So the solution is to re-install Pop_OS I guess.

Also having the same issue on PopOS 20.04. Not a new install but has latest updates.
Version: Plexamp-3.1.1.AppImage
Permissions: -rwxrwxr-x

After removing the config Plexamp I get the following after running from terminal:

➜ ~ ./Plexamp-3.1.1.AppImage

Re-installing PopOS is not a valid option to resolve this issue so commenting to keep topic alive.

Yeah it is actually broken for me again. I just gave up. Appimage is garbage.

Hey, This definitely seems to be an issue with the Plexamp AppImage because other AppImages run just fine for me. I am also on PopOS 20.04 and had exactly the same errors as described above.

I did manage to get the Plexamp appimage to work on Linux.
The trick that did it for me was to append the --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox parameter to the startup command.

Because I am lazy and don’t want to enter this command whenever I want to listen to some music I used AppImageLauncher to create a shortcut in the app menu.

So what I did was the following:

  1. Download and install AppImageLauncher from the github releases
  2. Open the AppImage file with AppImageLauncher and click on “Integrate and run”.
  3. Now Open the .desktop file located in the ~/.local/share/applications directory.
  4. Append the parameter mentioned above behind the Exec=/path/to/AppImage.
    For me the command in the .desktop file now looks like Exec=/home/USER/Applications/Plexamp-3.2.1_804e8ee6fbcef4ea75a73109094949a9.AppImage --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox
  5. Finally I rebooted the system and was able to start Plexamp without a problem.

This is what fixed the problem for me. I hope this might help anyone fix the problem :slight_smile:

Thought I came back and updated this but I guess not. It started working for me again. Not sure what the issue was. I can only think it was some dependency that was bugged and got updated. This whole time I have been using ultimaker cura as an appimage and it works fine. Only ever had an issue with plexamp.

I confirm this works for Ubuntu 20.04 - thank you :slight_smile:
