Ubuntu 24.04 stops booting after running Omniverse Launcher AppImage

After running the AppImage (https://install.launcher.omniverse.nvidia.com/installers/omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage) to start the Omniverse launcher, but without installing anything from the launcher, ubuntu 24.04 stops booting. Ubuntu is stock 24.04 running the “tested” 535 drivers installed by default.

The message I see when I boot is:

nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd (DP-4): G-SYNC Compatible: EDID min refresh rate invalid, disabling G-SYNC Compatible .

that message repeats a few times.

the last message I see is

[ OK ] Started gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager

and it stops at that point.

Before rebooting I noticed that “files” (nautilus) stops being listed in the gnome launcher. There may be other thing that went wrong, but that’s just one that I noticed. What does the AppImage do on run?

This seems very strange. Are you saying that your computer no longer boots now ? I cannot see anything in the Launcher installer that would do that. What does this mean ? “start the Omniverse launcher, but without installing anything from the launcher”. Does that mean you have successfully installed the Omniverse Launcher ? And successfully started it, but you have nothing installed ?

You are also mentioning video drivers. This is much more likely to cause a system boot issue. If the drivers are no working for you, you will have to uninstall and try old or new drivers. I don’t think it is anything to do with Omniverse.

The drivers are what are installed by Ubuntu and it works fine right up until I run the app image. I’ve done this three times, and it consistently stops booting after running the app image.

I don’t know how app images work. I just change the permissions so that it’s executable and and run it, log into with my NVidia account, exit and reboot. That breaks the Ubuntu install

Can you capture a video of this with your phone and attach it ? I want to see exactly what is going on. I have never heard of this.

I reinstalled again and found the issue. When trying to run the app image I needed to install “fuse”. But running sudo apt install fuse is what bricks the system. I tried another time and this time I used sudo apt install libfuse2 which let me run the AppImage and it didn’t destroy my install. Thanks for troubleshooting.

I wish I read this earlier:

Warning: While libfuse2 is OK, do not install the fuse package as of 22.04 or you may break your system

Ok thanks

I’m experiencing exactly the same issues as described above!!

Well then please follow the above solution. Fuse really affects the install of omniverse.
