I have followed the Linux terminal intructions to download some softeware from a reputable vendor. The software is called orbx-central (which I need to download and install scenery & aircraft I purchae from them for X-Plane 12 simulator). Their instructions were:

Start Central!

./orbx-central-4.2.10.AppImage

However, I got this:

rose@rose-ASUS-TUF:~$ ./orbx-central-4.2.10.AppImage
[4992:0703/190917.904425:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

No idea what is going on ❤️

Can't move forward - two helpers below think it is a problem with Nvida drivers. Any further help appreciated.

#

your Problem its in app image permissions

#

it will install App image on your System an you will get an icon on the Desktop

#

for example i installed via applauncher. appimage of game "tzared"

#

applauncher will create Desktop icon for you

#

enter properies of this icon and add --in-process-gpu

candid sparrow
#

just get libfuse and other dependencies then give executable perms

open shale
# candid sparrow you don't need it

yes , but then you have to run it always from terminal with those params, if you install appimagelauncher you just type that perms in shortcut once and you can run app normally like on windows

#

its all about simplicity

candid sparrow
#

or something like that

open shale
candid sparrow
#

and it works on cinnamon and plasma

candid sparrow
open shale
#

nope , try download and run tzared game for example

candid sparrow
open shale
candid sparrow
#

you only need libfuse and libappimage

#

then your stuff will run fine

open shale
#

just try it then

#

its gonna crash on the start

candid sparrow
open shale
#

run it from terminal you gonna see graphic access error

#

something related to permission due to sandboxing image apps

#

dont remember exactly , but it will throw this error for you so you will see

#

to fix it you need --no-sandbox param or --in-process-gpu, i preffer second one for safety reasons

#

see?

candid sparrow
#

imagine an error

open shale
#

on Kernel 5.13 it worked but if you Update Kernel IT stop working, it might be related to security changes

candid sparrow
#

I only had to allow it to execute, no appimage launcher needed

open shale
candid sparrow
open shale
#

nVidia graphic?

candid sparrow
open shale
#

maybe thats why nVidia drivers again -. -

candid sparrow
#

the point is that you don't need appimage launcher

#

apps just run

#

actually appimage launcher gives more issues than what it tries to solve

open shale
#

thats why i helped the guy because i had encountered it myself and have some Hard time with it, so no it not always works

#

@candid sparrow if you have idea how to fix it without params please share i will test, for now those params its the only way i found

candid sparrow
#

no parameters, I only did right click > allow to run as executable

#

then double click and it ran

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

no terminal magic, only used the GUI

open shale
candid sparrow
#

as I use AMD and all games n stuff just work ootb

Google says:
"The error "GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye." is a common issue in Electron-based programs that use the sandbox feature. There are a few ways to fix this issue: Run the program with the --no-sandbox option: This option disables the sandbox feature of Electron and allows the program to run without any issues."

but, your's an appimage iirc

Or use nouveau graphic driver instead

#

Sandbox problem is related to NVIDIA driver

short dagger

I assume the sandbox applies to the AppImage they gave me.

# open shale I dont fully understand you, --no-sandbox didnt work for you?

No it didn't work coz I don't know how to do it properly. I tried (LInux Newbie)
**Please ** help me implement the no sandbox option ...
