AppImage does not run on Ubuntu 16.04.

Open probonopd opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Does not run on Ubuntu 16.04. The ingredients inside this AppImage are from a too new system:

/run/firejail/appimage/.appimage-9121/AppRun: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1: version GCC_7.0.0' not found (required by /run/firejail/appimage/.appimage-9121/usr/bin/../lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37)`

Please compile on Ubuntu xenial or older so that the AppImage will run on all still-supported versions of Ubuntu, not just the latest.

Hey thanks for submitting Portfall to AppImageHub!

I made a change to the ci pipeline here https://github.com/rekon-oss/portfall/compare/v0.7.4...v0.8.1 but found that it was then breaking for me on my 18.04 based OS so i have reverted in v0.8.2. If you could check if https://github.com/rekon-oss/portfall/releases/download/v0.8.1/Portfall-x86_64.AppImage works on ubuntu 16.04 then I could create a separate binary for 16.04 although i'm not sure whether that'd work for AppImageHub since presumably it expects one binary only.

Any ideas?

Thanks @Rested. Always great to see ApImages for Linux apps. Why do you think you'd need a "separate binary for 16.04", why not make it the only one? Binaries compiled on older distributions should always run on newer ones, otherwise we have a bug...

Ran into this with an ubuntu 18.04. Is there any info that would help resolve this issue?

Is there any info that would help resolve this issue?

What happens if you run an AppImage created on 16.04 on a 18.04 system? Does the command line show any errors?
