Linux AppImage can't elevate script with sudo-prompt #2

Description

@ravikp7

Currently, the Linux AppImage isn't functional as it can't elevate scripts with sudo-prompt. Clicking on USB Mass Storage button and then after entering password, app throws sudo-prompt error. The problem is that AppImages are mounted using FUSE, which only allows execution permissions on the mounted image to the user that actually executed the image. See AppImage/AppImageKit#146 . So, su can't execute scripts with it. We'd have to remount the AppImage as root to get it working.
