.appimages don't work?

General Discussion
1

Maybe I messed a group meeting or a memo, but are .appimages not supported/compatible? I have an appimage that should work, but it won’t launch. I have gotten a segmentation error, and have tried other .appimages but I get other errors. Is this me or the OS?

Can you be more specific what you are doing? What exactly you are trying?

As well pls share more information on your system

Required

  • DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version
  • Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN
  • Kernel version | uname -a
  • Architecture | dpkg --print-architecture
  • SBC model | echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME or (EG: RPi3)

Usually this means that your file is corrupted, or you are trying to run something that does not fit your system architecture. Like for example, you have a 32-bit system and are trying to run a 64-bit application.

Dietpi core:8
Dietpi sub:23

Distro: bookworm

Kernel: 6.1.21+

CPU architecture: armhf

Hardware: pi zero w (armc6l)

I’m trying to run Minecraft pi reborn, but no matter how I install it (from source or pi apps) it won’t run (all dependencies installed)

I am running at ~30c max load with 1.1ghz at 2 overvolt with CPU set to performance.

My question was: does dietpi support appimages.

The appImages are for armhf (and AMD64 and ARM64), but the P zero W is ARMv6 (ARMv6Z).
armhf is a port of ARMv7, so your hardware can not run these images, you would need an image for ARMv6 or use a more modern SBC

Will try!

Question: why does the pre-installed Minecraft pi work on NOOBS but not in this situation?

7

On the same device with the same appimage? This shouldn’t be possible since ARMhf uses features which the Zero W does not support. :thinking:

8

What do you mean with pre-installed Minecraft?

9

NOOBS comes with minecraft:pi edition pre-installed (or used to) and it worked. (i also have no idea if it was an appimage) i am currently installin it.

10

Single core RPi0 correct, not the quad core version?
Might need to build it yourself or grab the github release

11

or you are asking for support on Issues - minecraft-pi-reborn - TheBrokenRail's Gitea

I hope these guys know if and how you can get minecraft-pi-reborn running

Btw: we offer a couple of Minecraft on our software catalogue like Cuberite or MineOS

I made good experience with PaperMC, but on a RPi4.
IDK if you are able to play minecraft at all on a Zero W with just one CPU core? MAybe with just one user and only a few chunks loaded?
