    First of all, as a workaround, try installing libva-drm2 by using Ctrl+Alt+T and typing:

    sudo apt install libva-drm2

    If problem persists, then do:

    cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libva-drm.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libva-drm.so.1

    On condition that, if above-mentioned solutions did not work, as a last resort, install version 2.7:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/avidemux
sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6-qt avidemux2.6-plugins-qt

    It will avidemux 2.7 though it contains 2.6 in its name.

  2. Assuming you've downloaded the appimage file (this is not clear from your post), you first need to make the xxxx.appimage-file executable. This is done by right clicking and setting the properties to "executable". From then on, you can right-click the xxx.appimage-file and run (or execute) it. As far as I understand, an appimage-file contains ALL of the necessary compenents of the xxx-program, so it runs "on an island" so to speak.
