First, I want to say great project. Still a relatively new Windows to Linux users (about 1.5 yrs with using Linux installed on are metal), I must say that I really like using AppImages. There are 2 packages that I would like to create into my own AppImages, but by far the most important to my work…

First of all, AppImageAssistant has been replaced by appimagetool. I should probably update the presentation soon. Then, keep in mind that VirtualBox is not a normal userland application in the traditional sense since it needs root rights and a kernel module. This kernel module is compiled(!) durin…

Based on that, that is definitely way beyond what I’m able to do (I know enough just to cause damage). I did try to convert gnome-boxes to an AppImage. Probably the same issues there. The only issue that terminal was spitting out at me when I had it linked to Nautilus was unable to find the org.g…

Yes, AppImages containing WINE and a Windows app are definitely doable (have done some for myself long time ago but these days I luckily don’t need any Windows apps anymore). As for schemas, do the following inside the AppDir: cd ./usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ glib-compile-schemas .

Well, that did get it to work for Gnome-Boxes on the 14.04. However, it wouldn’t work on the 16.10. I had gotten one library error that I was able to fix, but then I got another one and it was a libgcrypt11 error and I have tried downloading every iteration of that library and it still hasn’t fixe…

Is there a good write up somewhere that would show a total newb how to do it? I’m ok as long as I can use the same command, just substitute the app names in the appropriate spaces, but if it’s coming up with commands/code by myself, I’m at a total lost. I have a couple of apps that if I could bund…

See Simon’s response when I asked a similar question: [image] AppImage containing Windows application and Wine Creating AppImages That is absolutely doable, just bundle Wine and the app you want to run into the AppImage. The AppImage on http://www.wildmediaserver.com/downl…

That looks like a nice write up to get it to work. What would be the best way to install PortableLinuxGames. I didn’t see any method on that (it sucks being a newb at times). Otherwise that definitely looks like a write up that I could follow. Thanks!
