I'll report back in the next two or three days on if it has the same issue on deb stable.

Probably related to #5635

Is there a way to test that? I'm happy to run that also having a similar issue with freecad if that helps (I can run other appimages example renderdoc). I didn't get an error output like that guy did unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Is the error you linked reproducible only on Debian testing and sid or will deb stable also cause same issue? And is there a workaround?

I started the AppImage on the console, thus having some output on the console:

9:39:08 ❯ ./Applications/OrcaSlicer_Linux_V2.1.1.AppImage 
/tmp/.mount_OrcaSl9cFMpK/bin/orca-slicer: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@nils-a See #4616 for that specific issue TLDR: It's resolved in the latest nightly build

Where is the daily build I'm having trouble finding the page?

Thanks seems to work so far. A .deb release would limit this kinda headache. I'm getting "one object has empty initial layer" error only when set to bambu printers seems odd IDK if it's a known bug couldn't find anything.

[dener3id]

If someone wants help getting auto build to work with .deb,aur etc I'd be willing to help.

Thx for confirming - then this issue can be closed as a duplicate of #4616

You should file a separate bug report for that :smile:

@dener3id Hello I use Debian 12 and all works fine, please start application from console to see error @nils-a Hello, maybe you does not have libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 try sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

[nils-a]

@serhii-nakon I, personally, am not running debian - I simply came here looking if someone had the same problem as I had. Yes, installing the correct dependencies should fix the problem. However, the main point of providing an AppImage is that nothing should need to be installed.

But like @ElectricalBoy said: The newest nightly fixed the problem. No need to install anything else.

OrcaSlicer_Linux_V2.1.1.AppImage runs OK for me on Ubuntu 24.04. But the icon that lands on the dock is the gear icon.

From https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/653 : the OrcaSlicer desktop file is incorrect. They need to specify their StartupWMClass so that the window manager can associate the running program's windows with the pinned entry. ~> xprop WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "orca-slicer", "OrcaSlicer" Thus, the desktop file needs to be amended with either StartupWMClass=orca-slicer alternatively StartupWMClass=OrcaSlicer

That should be reported as a separate issue as it is irrelevant with this one.

Hopefully the first line was of some use. Does run on a Debian derivative.
