Appimage not running

Hi there.
Trying to run inkscape 1.4 from an appimage, what is first time I try an appimage actually, I got this error:

$:./Inkscape-2ceb609.AppImage 
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

** (ld-linux-x86-64.so.2:123970): WARNING **: 20:30:47.023: Failed to wrap object of type 'PangoFT2FontMap'. Hint: this error is commonly caused by failing to call a library init() function.

My system:
Kernel: 6.11.3-1-default arch: x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1 Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241015.
I didn’t find too much online about this. Does anyone know about this issue?.
Thanks.

Perform a new download and you will receive
Inkscape-e7c3feb-x86_64.AppImage
which works perfectly
https://media.inkscape.org/dl/resources/file/Inkscape-e7c3feb-x86_64.AppImage

thanks for your answer JG1956, but not working:

$:./Inkscape-e7c3feb-x86_64.AppImage 
Setting _INKSCAPE_GC=disable as a workaround for broken libgc
You should not use AppImage in production, but you can speed up the AppImage by following this guide: https://inkscape.org/learn/appimage/
Gtk-Message: 01:41:54.521: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

But Inkscape is available for TW:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/inkscape
1.3.2 for Main repo, 1.4 for Graphics.

Do you execute the required “chmod” command prior to executing the Appimage?

>  chmod u+x  Inkscape-xxxxxx.appimage

Also, Inkscape can be installed via zypper, the preferred method - example (this is on Leap 15.6, but is same on TW):

# zypper in inkscape

When he did not have execute permission, it would not start at all. And he has some output, thus it is started, thus he has execute permission.
