Ark cannot open AppImage v2 files with squashfs. The older v1 format with iso9660 works fine.
Comment 1 Elvis Angelaccio 2018-01-07 18:03:59 UTC
Unfortunately libarchive (the backend we use for AppImage v1 files) does not support squashfs. So this basically depends on #388572.

Ooops, too many tabs open. I meant #264941.

I tried to launch this appimage and it failed for me as well but I am not sure the exact cause. Please clarify if this is the same problem based on the following error messages.

If you want to *run* an AppImage bundle, you need to make it executable first: `chmod u+x <path/to/bundle>`. Then open it.

If you don't do that, then opening it launches Ark (because it's an archive), which fails to open it (because of this bug).
Comment 5 Michael Tunnell 2018-01-24 18:07:04 UTC
I did set it as executable which created those issue but in order to look into the AppImage I did noticed the Ark issue. This is unrelated, sorry, I made a bug report for Skrooge at #389374
