UPDATE I changed the title because this has nothing to do with upgrading from 22.10. I just created an fresh image installing from the 22.04 LTS live image and then installed the *deb packages. The exact same behavior happens there. This is an issue with 22.04 LTS; not sure how 22.04 LTS got to release when some pretty common apps like atom and gitkraken do not install/work. The etcher AppImage does work on the fresh install.

ORIGINAL POST I just now upgraded from 21.10 to 22.04 LTS. I performed the upgrade via do-release-upgrade. Following are now failing after working withtout issue on 21.10:

balenaEtcher-1.7.7-x64.AppImage Error: /tmp/.mount_balenaGlYYUI/balena-etcher-electron: line 10: 3717 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) "${script_dir}"/balena-etcher-electron.bin "$@" (Likely related: AppImages won't open on Ubuntu 22.04. See also Gitkraken not working Ubuntu 22.04 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468)

gitkraken: Starts but then immediately closes; no error reported. I did sudo apt remove gitkraken. Downloaded new .deb package from the site and installed via sudo apt install ./gitkraken-amd64.deb. The install reported this error: N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/<user>/Downloads/atom-amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied). Same behavior; opens and immediately closes.

atom: Starts but them immediately closes. After the first open, it prompted with an error which I agreed to send. I did sudo apt remove atom which removed it. Downloaded new .deb package from the site and installed via sudo apt install ./atom-amd64.deb. The install reported this error: N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/<user>/Downloads/atom-amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied). Same behavior; opens and immediately closes.

For context, the brave browser opens and works fine.

I ran atom at the command line and got this:

~$ atom
~$ /usr/bin/atom: line 195:  2803 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1

UPDATE I left this image as it is (so we can figure out what is happening?) and installed in a different partition of the same system a fresh image of impish 21.10 (the level on which I had been working successfully). I then installed atom, gitkraken, and add the etcher AppImage. All installed successfully and run fine.

Note that, when installing both atom and gitkraken I received the same error I listed above (N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/<user>/Downloads/atom-amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)) -- so that doesn't seem to be related. They run fine despite this error.

If you're running NVIDIA drivers (510 or 470 versions), this may be the cause of the issue. If you happen to have hybrid graphics and the option to use Intel graphics exclusively, try enabling that.

For me, this fixed the problem I was experiencing with a number of apps after installing 22.04, including Balena Etcher, PlexAmp, Atom, Zoom, and others that were installed via multiple means (AppImage's, .deb files, APT).

not a proper answer, but snap version works good

also idea: using wayland or gdm?

I had the same problem with Atom. It worked after uninstalling it sudo apt purge atom and installing it with snap sudo snap install atom --classic

Install gitkraken from the snap store, it worked for me

I completely removed gitkraken and installed the lastest v8.9.1. This installs successfully (including creating the favorite icon) and launches correctly without error.
