Not able to launch Orca Slicer on Fedora Linux 38
Describe the bug The app image cannot be started. Error message regarding libwebkit2gtk, but this is installed properly on the system. System is installed from scratch - Fedora 38 KDE Spin
To Reproduce Download and launch the app image
Expected behavior Launch the application
Printer model Creality K1 Max, but it should not matter as the app is not even starting
Desktop (please complete the following information): OS: Fedora Linux 38 Desktop: KDE Plasma
Meanwhile i got it working after additionally install the devel version of libwebkit2gtk.
However the Java errors persist. This wouldn't be a problem, but the import of a machine profile (Creality K1) is not persistent. The file is stored in the profile folder, but won't show up in Orca Slicer as new config.
Confirmed the launching issue. Helped track this issue for a user on the fedora discord for the latest 1.7.0 appimage. For Workstation users and the Plasma spin, as @magnum61 mentioned, fedora users must install the webkit2gtk4.0 to launch the appimage.
I used toolbx using the fedora-toolbox:38 container to run the flatpak. The container image needed the following packages to provide the specified libraries to launch the appimage.
- fuse-libs --> libfuse.so.2
- fontconfig --> libfontconfig.so.1
- libglvnd-glx -->libGL.so.1
- libglvnd-egl --> libEGL.so.1
- gtk3 --> libgtk-3.so.0
- gstreamer1-plugins-base --> libgstvideo-1.0.so.0
- webkit2gtk4.0 --> libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

Installing webkit2gtk4.0 fixed this issue for me on Fedora 39
sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0
Installing
webkit2gtk4.0fixed this issue for me on Fedora 39sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0
i actually had to run: sudo dnf install '/usr/lib64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37' on f39 kde
I am on Fedora 39 (gnome) and Orca Version 1.9 (older versions have this issue too for me)
I couldn't launch either BambuStudio or OrcaSlicer, but webkit2gtk4.0-devel did work for me. I already had the non-devel version installed, but that didn't help. I also tried BambuStudio Flatpak that recently came out and everything works there from the get go, but I'd much rather us OrcaSlicer...
Here's a link to the fedora package: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/webkitgtk/webkit2gtk4.0-devel/
Confirm unable to have it working on Fedora 39.i'm pretty sure there is a webpage under the setup wizard as the cursor seems to "see" selectable text in some points.
I have the same thing on Nobara where it stops at the Setup wizard. Can't get this program to open up properly regardless of which AppImage managing program I use.

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Same on my fedora 39.
I had the same issue. I installed the webkit dependency which allowed me to open the app. However, I then installed the bambu network plugin - and signed in, and now the app consistently crashes on startup.
FYI to any of the Fedora or other distro folks having difficulty with launching Orca app image, go ahead and try last night's Jan 22 v2.0.0 dev image from the nightly builds-- WORKS FANTASTIC!!!

Nope, not on my device with Fedora 39. Still the webkit error. i can install it manually, but the AppImage requires it. After manual install of the library it works.
Its now working for me. The network plugin re-installed when I opened it, and now it doesn't crash - and I can see the live feed of my printer.
I did already have the webkit dependency installed, so I'm not sure if that's still a requirement - but it otherwise works flawlessy so far.
Great work!
Installing webkit fixed the OrcaSlicer on OpenSuse Tumbleweed
sudo zypper in libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37
Thank you!
Same issue, tried libwebkit and also the latest beta AppImages. Blank setup screen on Fedora 39 KDE.

This was solved by this for me: https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/4935#issuecomment-2050100610
Same issue on Fedora 39 KDE in combination with the V2.0.0 release.
sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0.x86_64
sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0-devel.x86_64
fixed it. It's starting now.
No dice. Executing export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 does work though. I think I will come back when there is a tested Fedora package available. Seems pretty hacky to do Appimages and all these weird workarounds.

I don't know why but today I could not start the app image again...
Just a heads up guys, the latest nightly appimage (2.1.0) works without monkeying with webkit stuff.
I'm using Bazzite (Fedora Universal Blue) and have a Nvidia GTX 1080.
Only issue is that it asks about the cert every startup
2.1.0 makes it past the setup screen now, but then crashes after using it for 5 minutes. Not useable at all.
I can confirm that the following worked for me on Fedora 40 sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0 gtk3
I had some issues with dark mode either not working or the GCODE text and setup page was blank.

Does your system have an Nvidia GPU?
Assuming your system does have a discrete Nvidia GPU, this PR should fix it: https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/5276
It does not fix it, still an issue in Fedora 40 with Orca Slicer v2.1.1 and the AppImage.
I'm having the exact same issue... sigh I thought it was just me, guess not. Been trying to fix this for a week with no luck. Using Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma 6. I've tried basically all of the suggestions mentioned here to no avail so far.
This really sucks because I have some projects to work on
