Hi, Just updated today and lm-studio stopped working.
Error message:
This doesn't look like a squashfs image.
Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory
Fuse is installed and lm-studio --appimage-extract gives:
This doesn't look like a squashfs image.
Failed to open squashfs image
Is there any workaround?

Migration Notice: This package (
lmstudio-bin) is the active replacement for the abandonedlmstudiopackage.Recent Changes (v0.4.1-1): * Icons Fixed: I have switched to statically vendoring the high-resolution icon. This guarantees the icon appears correctly and eliminates the "blank icon" bugs caused by upstream AppImage changes. * AppImage: Installs the latest official AppImage to
/opt/lm-studio/. * Conflict Handling: Automatically removes the oldlmstudiopackage.Troubleshooting: If you still see a blank icon after upgrading, your desktop environment is likely caching the old broken entry. Force a refresh by running:
rm -rf ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache(KDE/Plasma) orsudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor(GNOME/GTK)envolution commented on 2025-02-16 19:53 (UTC)
Please don't flag out of date referring to the beta versions. Versions this package track are sourced from https://lmstudio.ai/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lmstudio-beta tracks https://lmstudio.ai/beta-releases
It's possible this version can be at a higher version level than the beta releases, and vice-versa.
