Installation options not working on Ubuntu (23.10) Mantic #632
Comments
Confirmed. Same behavior. I was able to install the Lite app, but I do like the full app. I have been using it for years. |
Can confirm, Kubuntu (Ubuntu) 23.10. |
Can confirm the issue with the PPA on a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.10. I was able to install the .deb. Initially, installation failed. However, after running |
FWIW the deb worked for me today, so maybe I had some prereqs installed that others don't have. I did try the PPA first which didn't work, and that was a few weeks ago, so I don't remember what I tried in between then and now that might have affected whether it works. |
Same on 24.04. |
I'm seeing the same error on 23.10. I uninstalled appimagelauncher two days ago for unrelated reasons, and today I tried to reinstall it, unsuccessfully. |
Same issue on my newly installed Ubuntu. System Details ReportReport details

Describe the bug
I did not manage to install the AppImageLauncher. Not via PPA, nor via .deb file.
PPA
Installing via PPA, according to the instructions on the wiki here:
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/wiki/Install-on-Ubuntu-or-Debian#use-the-ppas
Leads to this result:
Deb
Installing following instructions here:
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/wiki/Install-on-Ubuntu-or-Debian#installing-directly-from-github
Trying to install the missing dependencies I see:
Expected behavior
I have installed the AppImageLauncher previously, on a different system. For this I followed the steps for installation via PPA on the wiki and it "just worked".
Now it does not install.
Steps to reproduce the issue
See the commands I input previously.
Screenshots
Distribution and desktop environment
Installed AppImageLauncher version
I tried to install via the PPA.
Also tried to install this one:
appimagelauncher_2.2.0-travis995.0f91801.xenial_amd64.deb
List of AppImages you tried
Additional context
I suspect this is the result of me being on Ubuntu Mantic, and the AppImageLauncher not being ready for this yet.
I think this is the cause of the issue because of this line in the output for the PPA attempt:
E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/appimagelauncher-team/stable/ubuntu mantic Release' does not have a Release file.
And this is confirmed by "Mantic" missing from the list here:
https://launchpad.net/~appimagelauncher-team/+archive/ubuntu/stable
The installation via .deb suggests that libcurl3 has been replaced with libcurl4. I suspect that you should update AppImageLauncher to use libcurl4 instead.
I see the PPA problem was already flagged months ago, albeit in a rude manner:
#616
I understand you do not want to work with issues like that, but the problem they point out does exist. For me, this application is now unusable.
I hope this issue is formatted well enough that you will take it into consideration. I really like the appimage workflow you offer. But for now I will have to live without it.
