Appimages on 25.04 not running

As many have already reported, appimages appear to not work in Ubuntu 25.04. I’ve tried every resolution for previous versions of Ubuntu and nothing is working with the latest release.

I have also checked to see if AppArmor is blocking the appimage in question but I am not seeing anything.

Does anyone have any ideas what broke Appimage in 25.04? Any ideas on what to check next?

Thanks for any help that you can give on this.

I have one appimage (KeePassXC) which runs fine under Ubuntu 25.04. I did have to install libfuse2t64 as described here:

The way to find out if missimg libraries are required is to try to launch the appimage from a terminal opened to the appimage folder. Precede the file name with ./ to run the appimage. You may get an error message. There may be more missing than libfuse2, so if installing that doesn’t fix things, repeat since you get only one error reported at a time.

dmn@station1:~/appimages$ ./LibreOffice-6.1.5-x86_64.AppImage

error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then you need to install whatever package provides that library.
