Omniverse Launcher AppImage doesn't run

Hi, I am on Ubuntu 22.04 trying to run the omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage but nothing happens.

I have added and checked the permissions. Also checked GPU driver details. Not sure what the issue is, seeking assistance on this please.

Thanks for the post. Can you give me more details on the exact error please ?

I have the same problem:
New installation of Ubuntu 22.04
Nvidia Driver Version: 535.183.01
CUDA Version: 12.2

Set the omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage as executable as shown above.

Then, I double click on it as instructed and nothing happens. So, I decided to launch it using the command line, this outputs the following:

./omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage 
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run. 
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information

So, to launch it, I decided to install fuse using:
sudo apt install fuse

That was a big mistake, since this removes Fuse3, and thereby critical desktop components.

What is NVIDIA’s official guidance of running the omniverse-launcher on a system with Fuse3?

I think I found a solution.

First, DO NOT RUN sudo apt install fuse; it will remove fuse3 and break your system.

Instead install libfuse2

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install libfuse2

See the below post by SailReal on https://community.cryptomator.org/
" AppImage still needs fuse version 2 or more precisely libfuse2 to start (in general, not just the cryptomator AppImage), but instead of installing fuse, which removes fuse3 (required by some parts of Ubuntu packages), install libfuse2, which has no problems running alongside fuse3.

You can also use PPA and Flatpak."

Hi all, thanks.

Just to update that I managed to resolve by installing libfuse2.

sudo apt install libfuse2

Great thanks
