Hi Daniel

Just tested the latest AppImage - the error I'm getting on the command line
on Ubuntu 25.04 is:

QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
Squashfs image uses (null) compression, this version supports only xz, zlib.
ERROR: appimage_shall_not_be_integrated : sqfs_open_image error:
/home/brendanb/Downloads/flightgear-20251026-linux-amd64.AppImage
AppImageLauncher error: appimage_shall_not_be_integrated() failed (returned
-1)
Squashfs image uses (null) compression, this version supports only xz, zlib.
ERROR: appimage_is_terminal_app : sqfs_open_image error:

AppImageLauncher error: appimage_is_terminal_app() failed (returned -1)
fuse: memory allocation failed
squashfuse 0.5.2 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

Usage: squashfuse [options] ARCHIVE MOUNTPOINT

When I try to run the appimage with *--appimage-extract* I get the
following error:

QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
This doesn't look like a squashfs image.
Failed to open squashfs image

So definitely broken - what error do you get when you try to extract as
above?
