This is a common issue with linux. App Images tend not to work because of some “sandbox” thing that I don’t understand anything of. If you want to see if you have that same problem, you should execute the AppImage in your terminal.

  1. Go to the folder of you AppImage. Right-Click in that folder and choose “Open in terminal”
  2. Try to execute the AppImage with ./Mudita-Center.AppImage
  3. For me it showed the following error:

26238:0312/134705.882577:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] 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_MuditaNET6QF/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

  1. There are very complicated workarounds for this general problem with linux. But considering just to solve this problem for one AppImage, the solution of @scttmllmn worked for me. Thanks!
  2. ./Mudita-Center.Appimage --no-sandbox

I think for the Mudita Company it would be good to have some official troubleshooting article for that AppImage problem. Because the comfort of ordering a minimalist phone matches with the comfort to use linux as a OS just with bare minimum knowledge, I think. So there are some people that will have trouble with it. And privacy/autonomy-interested people tend to have linux.

I second this request! I use Linux (recently switching from Pop!_OS to Ubuntu, which is more Windows-user-friendly). I hope to buy a Kompakt again after Mudita addresses the missing voicemail features. And, I plan to use Mudita Center.
