Jolpin not starting in MX Linux

Hello support,

I've just installed (1.4.19) via the script
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

I see .joplin folder and Joplin.AppImage inside.

When I want to start Joplin by the menu or by double click on Joplin.AppImage nothing append !

Might I suggest chmod +x Joplin.AppImage?

Hello,

Not better :frowning:

Merry, installed MX linux, funny little distro.
Downloaded Joplin with your command and executed it via file browser. Everything runs normal.

Did you apt update && apt upgrade -y?

Not better :frowning:

I don't really understand why ; I run on this PC other .AppImage without trouble

I see nothing in the task manager

Can you try:

Click on MX "starter" at the bottom left side.

Type Joplin and the right click on the Joplin icon. Select "Edit application" (I think, I don't use English MX).

Edit the "command" by adding --no-sandbox like this example :

/home/user/.joplin/Joplin.AppImage --no-sandbox

After saving, try to start Joplin using that icon.

alleluia !

It works. Thank you very much.

Congratulations also for the job you did with this application. I use it everyday.

Have a nice day

Good you got it sorted, kastor.

I am just another happy Joplin user and i learned the --no-sandbox trick from another message thread here.

By the way, now I use MX-19.3 ahs ("Advance Hardware Support edition") and for some reason there we do not have to use --no-sandbox anymore. Joplin runs fine out of the box on 19.3 ahs.

Hello cozic,

I also using MX19.3

Hi kastor

As you see below my 19.3 ahs version use a much newer kernel. I was adviced to switch to the ahs version to get my USB-C monitor to work with MX Linux. The ahs version has better support for newer hardware.

Now we are straying away from the subject of Joplin....

cozic,

thank you for the ahs information. I'll look after that. :wink:

Have a nice day
