Doesn't Launch on Ubuntu 22.04

[InklingGirl]

Neither versions v0.4.8 nor v0.4.8.9 launch on Ubuntu 22.04.

[Ryochan7]

Need more details because v0.4.8.9 works on my Ubuntu 22.04 VM. If nothing else, try running the program from source rather than the AppImage

[InklingGirl]

I would prefer to run it as an AppImage, & it didn't work on my daily driver bare metal installation or a fresh virtual machine install. What more details would you like @Ryochan7?

[InklingGirl]

Yeah, no matter how I try to run them, they just don't run, & I'm just using a fresh install 22.04 in VirtualBox.

running the AppImage I get:

I'm running Wayland, same OS & DE otherwise, & I get (w/ the AppImage of v0.4.8):

(& w/ the AppImage of v0.4.8.9, same as @maxtimbo):

Neither version works no matter how I deploy the respective AppImage, in my usual system on bare metal or a freshly installed VM, w/ Wayland or X11, via AppImageLauncher or manually. Developer input after months would be appreciated, @Ryochan7.

[maxtimbo]

I was going to install from source, but I really don't like the idea of installing outdated, ancient python2x just for this app.

[InklingGirl]

@maxtimbo for me, @Ryochan7's fork launches (albeit, it's having issues using my DualShock 4). Try that. If it works, then clearly something is wrong w/ this repository's AppImage or binary therein.

[Fuseteam]

i can confirm @Ryochan7's fork launches fine
