Bug Description

From @colemanlee on GitHub:

Hi,
I also meet this problem when I run ./pling-store-5.0.1-1-x86_64.AppImage in ROOT graphical interface.

My system information:
Linux debian 5.3.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 5.3.7-1 (2019-10-19) i686 GNU/Linux
deb package information:
# apt-cache show appimagelauncher
Package: appimagelauncher
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Installed-Size: 56454
Maintainer: TheAssassin
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.0.2-travis883~f5ac870+buster
Description: AppImageLauncher built using CMake

Yes, I modified the system and log in the system graphical interface with root for some test purpose.
Then I tried to login normal user mode in the graphical interface, and run the command:

sudo ./HastyHeroes-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

If I run the command:

./HastyHeroes-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
The error appears when I click the "Run once" button:

execv() failed: executable file format error

I have no idea how to run AppImage on Debian 10 now.
I open a new issue in order to allow for debugging.
