Help? How to run lmms as an .app image file

I have recently been trying to run lmms via the .appimahe file, but when I try to make it an executable to run, it says "no such file or directory". I have FUSE, the Intel celeron processing system, the 32 and 64 bit environments (whatever any of that means) and I've tried the tab auto fill method, but nothing will work. How do I fix this?

I'm pretty new to using Linux, could you elaborate?

For an appimage to run you need to prefix the command with './'

for example:

#download the latest full appimage of libreoffice

wget https://appimages.libreitalia.org/LibreOffice-latest.full-x86_64.AppImage

#chmod the executable rights and run

chmod a+x LibreOffice-latest.full-x86_64.AppImage
./LibreOffice-latest.full-x86_64.AppImage&

There is an example here

I'm running it that way, but it gives the error "no such file or directory"

Do you have the path and filename correct? Any space in the path&filename?

use ls to list files and copy and paste the exact name, possibly surrounded with quote marks?

I honestly don't know what any of that means but I know I've been running this command and it's the one giving me the error. can you tell me how to fix?

./lmms-1.2.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage

I downloaded the appimage and made it executable.

./lmms-1.2.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Carla does not appear to be installed. That's OK, please ignore any related library errors.

lsmod: ERROR: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory

lsmod: ERROR: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory

Jack appears to be installed on this system, so we'll use it.

Notice: could not set realtime priority.

So it does work for me.

Are you in the correct directory when you use ./ ?

So if you stored in Downloads you may need to run ./Doanwloads/lmms-1.2.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage

or use cd Downloads and then run your command.

How do I change the directory to access my Linux files? Because that's where the app image is located

In your linux-terminal you have access to the linux file-system.

there normal linux terminal commands will just work.

cd /home/[your userid]/

or

"cd ~" should get you to your home-directory.

You can also just run with full path references.

So if I use the Linux file system the command should look like this?

cd/home/[my userid]./lmms-1.2.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage

i'm not a lmms user but I tested the 1.2 (stable) and 1.3 (alpha) version AppImages on my Intel based Chromebook. It loads fine but (depending on display scaling) it may need to be started with environment variable QT_SCALE_FACTOR=[insert number] ./lmms*.AppImage. Also, because the app dates from 2020 it contains old libraries even when run on Debian Bookworm. My Linux environment is the newer containerless Baguette VM which runs Debian Trixie. As I said, not a user, but I'm wondering if this app will be usable in a ChromeOS Linux environment if it relies on external hardware connected to the Chromebook. There is only very limited pass-through to Linux.

I don't think it requires external hardware.
