It appears Chromium AppImage doesn't like being launched off a flash drive:
(chrome:9102): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /mnt/Drivey/PortableApps/LinuxPACom/Home/.config/ibus/bus is not belac! [9102:9102:0914/020344:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(273)] Failed to create /mnt/Drivey/PortableApps/LinuxPACom/Home/.config/chromium/SingletonLock: Operation not permitted [9102:9102:0914/020344:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1694)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.

hi, your LinuxPA is excellent! as a complete solution to make LinuxPA appimage updates easy, please add an environment variable inside LinuxPA for each appimage program to have its own settings folders that survive version updates. an environment variable (such as LPAAPPNAME) that is the short application name (the prefix and/or desktop entry name) of the launched appimage. and, can rename the existing PANAME to such as LPAFILENAME to have both methods clearly available as options. much appreciated. thanks.

common.sh
export HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$LPAAPPNAME.home
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$LPAAPPNAME.config
results in the versionless subfolders from app name...
/Home-PA/Firefox.AppImage.home
/Home-PA/Firefox.AppImage.config

common.sh
export HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$LPAFILENAME.home
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$LPAFILENAME.config
results in the "versioned" subfolders from file name...
/Home-PA/Firefox-54.0.glibc2.3.4-x86_64.AppImage.home
/Home-PA/Firefox-54.0.glibc2.3.4-x86_64.AppImage.config

Hi,
I'd like to try out your app, but I have no idea how to use this project. Would you help me out, please?

For some reason, when I launch an orbital app, it tries to launch LinuxPA in the directory of the app (Which fails because it doesn't find the PortableApps folder). The interesting thing is that, to try to debug, I had it print out the command it used and the command actually works. If I install the orb launcher the app works fine.

When I run the most recent LinuxPA appimage, I am presented with the following error:

./LinuxPA: error while loading shared libraries: libappimage.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I went back a few versions and it launches fine, however it then immediately auto-updates to the new version and stops working due to the missing dependency.

Any assistance in getting it to launch without having to install dependencies would be greatly appreciated! : )

hi, for quality control, there needs to be an option for each appimage program to have its own separate settings folders. please provide an environment variable inside LinuxPA (such as PANAME) that is the filename of a launched appimage. or how else to solve this. thanks!

common.sh
export HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$PANAME.home
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$PWD/Home-PA/$PANAME.config

Hi, AppImage developer here, curious to learn more about your project. What does LinuxPA do that AppImages on their own cannot? Would be nice if you could make the description a little more verbose and could add some screenshots. Also, would be nice to discuss your ideas about portable apps and AppImage on http://discourse.appimage.org.

Please suggest ideas!
