Appimages under Porteus

Post#1 by Kulle » 14 May 2019, 17:04

Many appimages do not work after the dependencies have been added.
E.g. ViperBrowser

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/home$ ./Viper_Browser-eec5d9f-x86_64.AppImage 
/tmp/.mount_Viper_bwmSST/usr/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Gui.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
via usm:

Code: Select all

...
libQt5Gui.so.5  was found in   copasi-4.23.184-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
...
Creating /tmp/usm/copasi-4.23.184-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm

Quiet mode: off
Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig
Updating XFCE menu: update-desktop-database
run again:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/home$ ./Viper_Browser-eec5d9f-x86_64.AppImage 
/tmp/.mount_Viper_EhBog3/usr/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Gui.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
how can that be?

with copasi, the qt5 libs are there, but not where anything but copasi can find.. ie. /usr/share/copasi/lib/ as opposed to /usr/lib64/
try with: Qt 5.9.1 framework (modular) + Qt Creator 4.3.1 (though you could be still missing the qtwebengine lib EDIT: checked: it's in the appimage))
appimages can be handy, but their target systems vary greatly, hence missing/wrong libs..

I have opened the appimage file with P7ZIP.
The library files are present in the appimages:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~/Downloads/usr/lib$ ls libQt*
libQt5Concurrent.so.5   libQt5PrintSupport.so.5  libQt5WebChannel.so.5
libQt5Core.so.5         libQt5Qml.so.5           libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5
libQt5DBus.so.5         libQt5Quick.so.5         libQt5WebEngineWidgets.so.5
libQt5Gui.so.5          libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5  libQt5Widgets.so.5
libQt5Network.so.5      libQt5Sql.so.5           libQt5X11Extras.so.5
libQt5Positioning.so.5  libQt5Svg.so.5           libQt5XcbQpa.so.5
guest@porteus:~/Downloads/usr/lib$ 
But if i run appimage, error message:
/tmp/.mount_Viper_bwmSST/usr/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess:
error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Gui.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why?

so they are...
maybe try in 'always fresh' mode, in case there's something in your modules or changes that's interfering..
i can confirm that viper appimage works in porteus dev version, will take a closer look at 4.0 ...

Hi ncmprhnsbl,
porteus 4.0 xfce: viper appimage works for me no problem..
How can that be?
I tried it in 'always fresh' mode, but the same error!

My system:
Porteus-v4.0
Kernel: 4.16.3-porteus

What can I still do?
Because other appimages have in my system similar errors

In fact, this version works.
Many Thanks
This means:
*** If an appimage does not work, wait for the next version! ***
