UPDATE: .AppImage runs just fine with --no-sandbox option.

Hi, will there be official support for Ouster Studio on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ?

Hi jukka.a,

Thanks for pointing out this issue and glad you got it running.

For future reference Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has an issue in AppArmor that is known but there is no schedule for a fix. This causes an issue when opening Ouster Studio. Running with the --no-sandbox option works but is not secure and won’t let you open the app from the GUI.

The preferred work around is to edit /etc/apparmor.d/studioappimage to include the following block of text. You can do this by typing in your terminal sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/studioappimage then pasting in the text block below, replacing “/path/to/OusterStudio-2.0.5.AppImage” with the correct path, then saving (crtl-o).

# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
# application a name instead of having the label “unconfined”

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile obsidianappimage /path/to/OusterStudio-2.0.5.AppImage flags=(default_allow) {
userns,

# Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
include if exists <local/studioappimage>
}

After saving this file run sudo systemctl reload apparmor.service. Then from the file explorer right click the OusterStudio-2.0.5.AppImage icon, go to properties, then make sure “Executable as Program” is turned on.

You should then be able to double click on OusterStudio-2.0.5.AppImage to open Ouster Studio.

More info can be found here on the Ubuntu forum.

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.
