Nightly AppImage doesn't work on Slackware and based distros

Open fulalas opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

This is the error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted

Using release 1.2.0 works.

I made an updated AppImage based on https://github.com/soramimi/Guitar/commit/f26dfb4dfd797a93625e1dc80e53db1f5eb3a62d that works:

@fulalas Hello, has this been resolved? If not, how do you make the nightly AppImage to work? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.

@tommai78101, the issue still exists.

It's been a while since I built that. I believe I used current Debian on a VM and built Guitar manually and then extracted the latest AppImage that works and updated with the new files I built, packing everything into a new AppImage. Boring, I know :P

@fulalas Actually, that's great to know. I'm not that familiar with the process of building the AppImage myself, so I planned to look into it if it's easier to do. I'm glad that there are no special procedures to build it.
