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.pngIf this is not a fault with DashBeam’s .AppImage file, then it may be a bug in AppManager.
How can we reproduce this?
- Download the .AppImage file from the website
- Open the .AppImage file with AppManager
- 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.
