have emerged: sudo emerge sys-fs/fuse:0 as related in forum:

using cli:

| Code: | $PATH
bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin: |
using commandline:
| Code: | | FUSERMOUNT_PROG=/usr/bin/fusermount './apps/VLC_3.0.21-9.AppImage' launches and plays from cli but not from mate desktop shortcut icon with same command line. |
Do I need to create a desktop entry in /usr/share/applications or modify the command line for a mate desktop shortcut icon to launch the appimage?

If there is something I am not understanding about your post, I apologize.
Do you need to use FUSERMOUNT_PROG= with that VLC appimage?
Is there a reason you need VLC as an appimage?
What do you need to accomplish that requires fusermount?
After being made executable (chmod +x) it simply runs with:
| Code: | | ./VLC_3.0.21-9.AppImage |
Or by clicking on the appimage file in the file browser, it should open and run.
In this way it runs just like native VLC and uses the .vlc config folder for the current user.
If you create desktop files, it is generally better to put them in ~/.local/share/applications for the single user. If you are trying to create them system-wide, then fine /usr/share/applications would work if you have to do that. |

Thank you rab0171610 for your reply.
Based upon your reply I would conclude that after making the appimage executable all that should be required is to click to launch.
However, attempting to launch the appimage after making it executable results either in no action when clicking it from caja fiile manager or alternatively when dragging it into terminal and hitting enter the following result is:
| Code: | | /usr/bin/fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted |
The issue is discussed here but without resolution:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1169835-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html
The same appimage executes/launches in both Ubuntu and Debian but apparently there is an issue with fusermount and how it functions in Gentoo in relation to appimages.
What I am attempting to do is to click/launch and use the VLC appimage from Gentoo, as I have with both Ubuntu and Debian but do not understand the fusermount issue as it is not an issue with other distros.
I am using profile 23.0 with systemd. If you are using the same or similar could you point out what configuration changes are necessary to obtain reliable appimage execution, as apparently it is funcioning for your installation but I have not been able to find a solution in the forums. |

Yes, I have had to use this as a workaround for some appimages. I am just surprised that you are having to do that with this particular appimage because it works fine for me. I also have a systemd profile but Plasma:
| Code: | [28] default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma/systemd (stable) *
|
It likely would not affect other distros like Debian because they are all setup the same. Gentoo users have a lot of configurable options and use flags and each installation is unique. My desktop, KDE and the file browser is probably configured to handle the file automatically. In that case, did you try to create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications for the appimage using:
| Code: | | FUSERMOUNT_PROG=/usr/bin/fusermount './apps/VLC_3.0.21-9.AppImage' |
As the exec line?
Maybe there are also some config options for Mate and Caja file browser with regards to setting up Fuse. That might be something to look into as well. |
