AppImage (latest) doesn't work on Ubuntu 18.04

[jvalrog]

Can't get the AppImage to work:

$ chmod +x SyncthingGTK-0.9.4.4-x86_64.AppImage 
$ ./SyncthingGTK-0.9.4.4-x86_64.AppImage 
Traceback (most recent call last):

/usr/bin/zenity: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It says to install something on my system, but I suppose AppImage is about not installing anything, right?

Seeing same problem. Ubuntu 16.04. Any solutions?

Main idea was to not bundle libraries that are usually installed everywhere, but that's probably not true anymore. I'll try to repack it with everything, but I have to ask you for patience as this is very much trial-error-repeast process.

Same here with the latest Linux Mint. Sure because it's 18.04 based.

Would be nice to bundle glibc as you said. Thanks in advance!

btw: the version 2.27 is installed by default. There is no alternate version in the backports repository.

This is not yet fully working, as it can't download syncthing daemon during "1st run wizard", but it should work with syncthing already installed / downloaded.

Syncthing_GTK-with-everything.x86_64.AppImage

Can someone confirm it works on those Ubuntu/Mint installations?

Not work on Mint 19.3

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/.mount_Syncth3azsz6/usr/bin/syncthing-gtk", line 19, in gi.require_version('Rsvg', '2.0') File "/tmp/.mount_Syncth3azsz6/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/init.py", line 129, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace) ValueError: Namespace Rsvg not available

You can try the flatpaked version. It should work quite well.

[JmmyGun]

yes flapaked version, work well thx.

[freaky-m0]

Same problem with my Mint 19.3 installation. I'll try the flatpak version. As I remember it wasn't updated a while ago? Am I right?

Ubuntu Mate 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) here (gtk3 is not preinstalled on this distro). The regular release was missing GTK3, the "with everything" is still missing something.

$ ./Syncthing_GTK-with-everything.x86_64.AppImage 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/.mount_Syncthv0LwYQ/usr/bin/syncthing-gtk", line 19, in <module>

    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Rsvg not available

A search for available packages shows the following:

$ apt search Rsvg

Installing packages python-gi, python-gi-cairo, gir1.2-notify-0.7, gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 and librsvg2-bin did not help.
