fuse: memory allocation failed when running the AppImage #229

Description

@Alfro

I'm trying to run the app image on my distribution:

./TablePlus-x64.AppImage

Doing this, I get the following:

fuse: memory allocation failed
squashfuse 0.5.2 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

even though other images seem to run correctly, I tried the fallback methods as shown in the AppImage docs here: https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html#fallback-if-fuse-can-t-be-made-working

1. First I tried extracting the image using the given comment:

./TablePlus-x64.AppImage --appimage-extract

I got:

This doesn't look like a squashfs image.
Failed to open squashfs image

2. Then I tried mounting it:

sudo mount -o loop TablePlus-x64.AppImage mnt

I got:

mount: mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

I get this on the dmesg:

[774011.064426] loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 136892
[774011.067221] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

[774011.069283] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format

3. Then I tried extracting it with bsdtar:

mkdir AppDir
cd AppDir
bsdtar xfp ../TablePlus-x64.AppImage

I got:

bsdtar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format
