Description Ahab Greybeard 2020-02-26 17:30:54 UTC
SUMMARY
The Feb 25th and 26th 4.3.0 prealpha appimages, git e1278c5 and git 5619916 start and display the splash screen with start-up progress messages but then vanish and there is no running application.
They get as far as 'Loading Main Window' before disappearing shortly after that status message is displayed.
(The corresponding Windows portable .zip packages run ok.)

The Feb 21st 4.3.0 prealpha git 2b45b5d does run ok and is the latest one I have before the failing ones.

I note that the Feb 25th and Feb 26th appimages are 202.5 MB compared to the Feb 21st being 186.7 MB as reported by my file manager.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Nightly (and Stable) appimage downloads have a long standing problem where I have to download them as a document in a browser tab (taking many minutes) and then Save the resulting 'document' as a file. This is an inconvenience but I've managed to get these appimages for a long time now and they always ran after downloading and saving.
The Windows downloads do not have this problem.

See explanation here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=288&t=164752#p428893
Basically we have issues with dependencies. And we see it failing and not working and all :(

Fix loading Appimages

We should explicitly add python3.8 directory to the list of
PYTHONPATH.
