BuzzPCSOS It is funny how appimages will prompt for a root password

the appimage peeps reccomend [per their official website] you change the permissions right after you download an appimage so it won't prompt you for sudo ever again.

BuzzPCSOS but the Ventoy software will not when run on Nemo.

I read this a few times and still don't know what you mean. The software doesn't' 'run' per se, it's a storage formatting program (maybe you are right) that you can either mount, open, and see your .isos. Or not? You are saying you need permission just to get Nemo to recognize Ventoy usb? Or to open it? And if that's true I wonder if its another permissions problem.

      algent I have an older Ventoy version and it has Ventoy2Disk.ini owned by root for some reason..
      I will try to download the latest version, let's see..

      UPD: all unpacked files owned by user now, double click on VentoyGUI.x86_64 - nothing happens, running from the terminal ./VentoyGUI.x86_64 opens Authenticate dialog.

      double click on VentoyGUI.x86_64 in Nautilus opens Authenticate dialog.

      @algent are you root user perhaps?

          Nemo doesn't have Extract option in context menu 🙁

          Solarmass but you would have to chmod it just to flash a usb, right? Look forward to what you find out. I got rid of my ventoy binary.

              brent I guess you have to run it with sudo, I wonder how @algent run it without sudo 🤔
              And also why there is no Authenticate dialog in Nemo.

                  algent Like this, I just run it.

                  Yup! Same here! So you have this Authenticate dialog too!

                      Solarmass Yes, what is the problem with it? I think it is nomal. It is behaving same as the ventoy app that I have installed system wide.

                          algent the problem is that when you launch it from Nemo - nothing happens..
                          And other usability problem, there is no "Extract" in the Nemo's context menu.

                              Solarmass Ah, now I get it. Just tried in nautilus and it launches fine. Sorry for misunderstanding.

                                algent Looks like opening Nemo as root to run Ventoy it is how is recommended in linux mint forums.

                                hmm..
                                why they have this setting then? 🤔

                                    algent For this install nemo-fileroller

                                    that will build 'extract' into the right-click context menu? asking for a friend

                                    that is ultimately a 10X smaller hiccup then the stuff in nautilus

                                          brent that will build 'extract' into the right-click context menu? asking for a friend

                                          Yes. Adds "Extract Here" near end.

                                            yup!

                                            Should be built-in into Nemo imo...

                                                Solarmass why they have this setting then?

                                                That is for text files and VentoyGUI.x86_64 is a binary file.

                                                    algent Oh! Anyway, I think Nautilus does it more userfriendly
