Cannot run Musescore's AppImage on Ubuntu Linux
I'm trying to install Musescore for my Linux system s that I installed onto my chromebook (by Samsung with an Intel processor). I'm trying to get it to run on my system but when I click execute but yet it doesn't run.
Thanks in advance!

Have you permitted execution of the file via chmod? Look it up if that doesn't make sense ;)

Yes, I have permitted execution. I'm not that clueless. :P
It just doesn't want to execute for some odd reason.

Try running from the command line and tell us what output you see to the terminal. For me it worked just fine except I didn't get sound until I sorted out my situation with alsa or whatever other I/O drivers I needed.

O.P. scared away by the inquiring of details?

I haven't tried running it yet, I've just not gotten around to it (had loads of school work to do after a sick day). Don't think I ran away from help! :p
I'm about to try it in a few anyway, I'll come back with the results.

Ok, so I've tried running it via the terminal but it still does nothing! I'll just give up for now since I really don't like using Linux on a chromebook. :p
I have a PC for Musescore anyway.

Maybe you should file a ticket on the issue tracker and give your make/model/OS information;
let the developers know "it does nothing" during an attempted execution so they can look further into it ;)

Yeah, no problem, I'll file one!

When you say "it still does nothing", do you mean the command never outputs anything to the terminal window, nor does it return you to a command prompt? What happens if you then hit Ctrl+C (with the focus still in the terminal window)?

Very old topic, but this issue is happening to me under similar circumstances (Chromebook, XFCE, app literally does nothing when double-clicked). I'd just refreshed my Linux installation to get file space, but upon redownloading the MuseScore AppImage it no longer ran. Weird, since it ran fine last time. Typing ./MuseScore*.AppImage in the console gave this error:
/tmp/.mount_sm0bQf/AppRun: line 15: ldconfig: command not found
Jack does not appear to be installed. That's OK, we'll use a dummy version instead.
/tmp/.mount_sm0bQf/bin/mscore-portable: error while loading shared libraries: libxslt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing Jack didn't help.
I tried installing libxslt.so.1, but it doesn't exist, at least with that name. So is it that ldconfig command? I might need some help.

With what little I know, you shouldn't have to mess with ldconfig.
Your mission, it would seem, is to find the appropriate package containing the library (libxslt.so.1 isn't the package but the shared object file) and install it.
Not sure what Chromebooks use, so maybe browse through your 'package manager' software. On my Linux system, there's available libxslt1.1, libxslt-dev and -debug.
Maybe try $ sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
Good luck.

I'll try this, thanks for the suggestion.
Edit: It worked! Thanks a lot.
