GNU Linux Installer Troubleshooting

GNU/Linux Installer Troubleshooting

Here are some of the problems we've come across when using the GNU/Linux installer with CaPTk. If your problem isn't listed here, please raise an issue in our GitHub issue tracker.

MD5 Checksums do not Match

If your installer is warning you that the MD5 checksums do not match, this means the content that was originally in the installer and the content you are trying to install are not the same. This could be either because:

1. The installer did not download properly
2. Part of the installer is corrupted
3. Part of the installer was modified

In all of the above cases, the best solution is to delete the installer and download a new copy.

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 (FUSE not installed)

This error will occur after the installation process when you try to run the CaPTk AppImage for the first time.

The AppImage requires FUSE to run (Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a system that lets non-root users mount filesystems). You can read more about AppImages and FUSE, and about how to install and setup FUSE if you don't have it here.

Fallback

If you do not want to install FUSE, the contents of the AppImage can be extracted by running the CaPTk AppImage with the --appimage-extract flag. This will create a squashfs-root folder. Inside, the AppRun symbolic link will start CaPTk if ran.
