Unable to open app: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6 #49

Closed cspipaon closed 3 years ago

cspipaon commented 3 years ago

I am unable to open the app via GUI or via terminal.

Running pocket-casts in terminal returns: /snap/pocket-casts/10/pocket-casts: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure if this is due to the recent update in my system (Pop! OS 21.04) or something else:

Actually, I see you are using the snap. @cspipaon, can you try installing the .deb and seeing how that works for you?

Hey @felicianotech, I installed the pocket-casts_0.5.0_amd64.deb package and it works just fine. I also removed the snap package, installed it again and it's also working.

I am not sure what is the reason for the error I posted above... Feel free to close the issue (or leave it open), I am not sure what the usual following actions are in these cases.
