Failed to install .AppImage with AppManager: Symlink target not found

Author: hwhsu1231Created Sep 14, 2026Updated Sep 14, 2026

What seems to be going wrong?

After downloading the .AppImage file, I tried to use AppManager to install/move DashBeam to the /home/hwhsu1231/Applications/ directory. Originally, I expected it to install smoothly like the .AppImage files of other applications, but instead I got an "Installation failed" error message:

Symlink target not found: home/runner/work/dashbeam/dashbeam/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/appimage/DashBeam.AppDir/DashBeam.png

If this is not a fault with DashBeam’s .AppImage file, then it may be a bug in AppManager.

How can we reproduce this?

  1. Download the .AppImage file from the website
  2. Open the .AppImage file with AppManager
  3. Move the .AppImage file to the Applications folder

Your environment

  • AppManager version: 3.7.3
  • DashBeam version: 0.7.1
  • OS and version: Kubuntu 24.04
  • How you installed it: .AppImage
  • Did it work in an earlier version? If so, which: None of them worked.
