Created attachment 156248 [details] Terminal error output SUMMARY *** Happy that my previous bug was addressed, I downloaded the new v2.29 AppImage version and tried to run it but it was not opening. Tried several different mirrors, and several other steps. Finally I ran file from a terminal and got a bunch of lines that seem to indicate missing components from the AppImage. Since I understand an AppImage is self-contained, I would not need to have or install these on my OS. See attached screenshot for error output. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download new 2.29 AppImage version and make it executable 2. Attempt to open file using double-click, or "open" command 3. Then manually execute file in terminal using ./ syntax OBSERVED RESULT - Using step 2 above there is no hard drive activity, and no indication that the app will open. I waited an hour while I went to lunch just to make sure. - Using step 3 above displays tons of output about items missing, I assume packages or components. See attached file. EXPECTED RESULT After being made executable, AppImage file should open normally. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Skrooge AppImage info unknown as it doesn't open. Desktop Flatpak install works just fine. Running Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1 Vera x64 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Previous AppImage versions (namely 2.28) opened just fine
Hi, You must know that: - The appimage is built on the package built on launchpad https://launchpad.net/~s-mankowski/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-kf5 - The version 2.29.0 of Skrooge is based on KDE framework 5.86.0. - KDE framework 5.86.0 is not available on Ubuntu Focal. - So this new appimage of Skrooge 2.29.0 is based on the last ubuntu LTS version: jammy - This new appimage is built with libc version 2.35 (see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/651177137/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.skrooge_2.29.0-0ubuntu1~ppa1_BUILDING.txt.gz) Your system is based on ubuntu jammy, so this should work. Could you confirm that your libc version is 2.35 too ? For that you just have to launch the following command from a terminal: apt-cache show libc6-dev | grep Version Regards.
Hello Stephane, Thank you for the overview and instructions. Very helpful. I executed your terminal command and received a version of 2.31 for several entries. I then went to review updates and packages that are held back with the "apt update" command and updated them manually, but no progress. It is then that I, sadly, realized that I was using my secondary machine which looks physically identical, along with the background and several other items. It is running Mint 20.3, not 21.1. I booted up the proper machine, downloaded the AppImage, made it executable, and it ran immediately with no issues, and all icon images were shown from my last bug. I ran your terminal command anyway and received version 2.35 for 2 entries. I have now learned that not all Linux AppImages are "backward compatible" between OS versions, even though they are self contained, and will watch out for that in the future. There are still some necessary dependencies. I know how frustrating it is for a developer to get reports like this due to my own ignorance/stupidity, and for that I apologize. I shall make it more obvious to myself which machine I am on in the future. If this is actually a bug for Mint Cinnamon 20.3, please let me know and I can enter a new bug and provide any additional info you need. I thank you again for your time. This issue can be closed.
Hi, Happy to see that you solved your issue. This is not a bug Mint Cinnamon 20.3. This is just that Mint Cinnamon 20.3 is "too old" to be able to run this appimage.
