      How to install Memtime on Ubuntu 24.04

      This article provides instructions on how to install Memtime on Ubuntu 24.04, and start using the app.

      Step 1: Download the Memtime AppImage

      1. Open your web browser and navigate to the official Memtime website.

      2. Download the Memtime .AppImage file from there or this link here.



      Step 2: Make the AppImage Executable

      1. Right-click on the memtime.AppImage.

      2. Select Properties.

      3. Toggle the Executable as Program settings.

      4. Close the window.


      Step 3: Open the Terminal


      After you download the correct installation file, you can press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the Terminal.

       

      Step 4: Install the Required Dependencies

      Before running the Memtime AppImage, you may need to install libfuse2. Here's how you can do this:

      1. Have the Terminal running.

      2. Update the package list:

        sudo apt update

      3. Install libfuse2:

        sudo apt install libfuse2

      Step 5: Enable the Xorg Display Server

      Memtime has compatibility issues with the default Wayland display server on Ubuntu 24.04. To resolve this, switch to the Xorg display server, which is currently the only one supported.

      1. Have the Terminal running.

      2. Open the custom.conf file for editing:

        sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

      3. Find the line that says #WaylandEnable=false and uncomment it by removing the #:

        #WaylandEnable=false
        change to
        WaylandEnable=false

      4. Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O, then Enter, and exit with Ctrl + X.

      5. Restart your system to apply the changes. (This can also be done after step 6.)


      Step 6: Update the Ubuntu AppAromor Settings

      In this latest release of Ubuntu there were some changes in the AppArmor Settings. To be able to run the Memtimeapp,p you need to update some settings.

      1. Have the Terminal running.

      2. Update the settings using the following command:

        echo 'kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns = 0' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/20-apparmor-donotrestrict.conf

      3. Restart your system to apply the changes.


      Step 7: Run Memtime

      Once you have restarted the system, you are ready to open the Memtime app.

      1. Open via GUI:

        1. Right-click on the memtime.AppImage

        2. Select Run as program

      2. Open via Terminal:
