Installation from Mint-Repo works!

What a strange issue! I'm happy to see the installation from the repo works well. The repo is shipping 1.1.6, so you're not missing out in any features from the latest AppImage.

Thank you for providing that console output, it's exactly what I was about to ask. Unfortunately this output doesn't tell me much of why QPrompt is crashing. The issues that are logged should all be unrelated to the crash.

I suspect there might be an incompatibility in the application settings that is causing some unexpected behavior to occur. Try deleting the QPrompt's settings: ~/.config/Cuperino/qprompt.conf or renaming the file to something else if you'd like to preserve them.

That .conf file is just a text file you can change manually if needed. I suspect a change I did regarding how either reading region placement, pointers, or screen projections are stored might be at fault here.

If the issue isn't that, then there might be some incompatibility between the AppImage and core libraries shipped by the latest Linux Mint... That seems unlikely because we would've seen more from the console output.

Hi Javier, I deleted the conf-file and restarted AppImage 1.1.6 with no luck. It closed after 6 seconds. Just to be sure I tried AppImage 1.1.3, which worked as expected. Since 1.1.6 from the repo is OK, I don't need the AppImage and (for me) the case can be closed. Thank you for your work and dedication! Karl

Thank you for trying. I'll be releasing new installers soon. Hopefully the issue goes away with them.
