How to install and run on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Open Leigh-M opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

We have been struggling to install Mobster on Linux (completely fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

Could we please check how do we open the AppImage? (we have studied all of the docs yet it is not working as expected) we have tried just setting it as an executable and double clicking.. nothing happens..

We have tried:

$ chmod +x Mobster-0.0.48-x86_64.AppImage $ ./Mobster-0.0.48-x86_64.AppImage

(AppImageLauncher:69775): GLib-CRITICAL **: 14:45:21.201: g_file_test: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed Directory '/home/leigh/.local/share/mime/packages' does not exist! [14:45:41.501] [info] Running version 0.0.48

(mobster:70207): Pango-ERROR **: 14:45:41.527: Harfbuzz version too old (1.4.2)

Why are we seeing this issue?

What is the correct software to open it with, should we use with Disk Image Mounter? (If we do, we just see 3 files in there now - usr AppRun and mobster.desktop) how do we run these? We love this software but it's very tricky to get running on Linux! I've posted here for anyone else struggling with, if you could please help? Thanks!

Hi, did you manage to get this working?

Still seems to be an issue on PopOS 20.04 (5.11.0-7614-generic #15~1618626693~20.04~ecb25cd-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 22 16:20:32 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). Tried both AppImage and building from source. Building from source unfortunately has an outdated reliance on elm and will not build when using npm install.

Hi @jonneymendoza nope.. module packaging issue? if I run from CLI:

installed: X-AppImage-BuildId=d91f7a10-cd61-11a7-0436-b31e66cb07a0 image: X-AppImage-BuildId=d91f7a10-cd61-11a7-0436-b31e66cb07a0 Gtk-Message: 11:25:59.993: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [11:26:00.415] [info] Running version 0.0.48

(mobster:493007): Pango-ERROR **: 11:26:00.437: Harfbuzz version too old (1.4.2)

Anyone got around this issue ?

I am also facing problem to install Mobster on Linux. I check the option allow it as executable, chmod etc and didn't work!

Just tried now on Pop OS! 21.10 and I used chmod and ran it.

I got asked if I want to integrate with my system and after I just get:

[08:29:08.070] [info] Running version 0.0.48
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
