[BUG] Newgan fails to open on Manjaro Linux

[Ricardeano]

Describe the bug NewGAN 1.3.1 fails to start on Manjaro linux following installation

To Reproduce

1. Install the Appimage
2. Start from the application launcher
3. Nothing happens (no message it failed, and apparently not running in background)
4. (Additionally if I run the appimage without integrating, nothing happens)

Expected behavior For the app window to open.

Screenshots Nothing happens so I won't include anything, but if there is anything that will help let me know.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Manjaro (5.15.81-1-Manjaro)
• Graphics driver: Nvidia 525.60.11

Attachments I don't think a log file is being created. I checked in the applications folder (where the appimage was integrated) and also ran the original file (before integration) and there was no log file created in either folder.

Getting the same problem with Arch on plasma, nothing happens after trying to run, despite making executable

Same thing is happening for me when running on Arch. I don't get a log file either but attempting to run the program in the terminal I get the following output:

I got this to run on arch linux.

I extracted the AppImage

./NewGAN-Manager-1.3.1-x86_64_a34ba454bd304ad0d66866f7fb7dab26.AppImage --appimage-extract

This creates a squashfs-root folder.

I deleted the following file:

"/squashfs-root/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0"

Then running "/squashfs-root/AppRun" the application launches.

I was getting other errors when trying to run the AppImage after repackaging it, however.

I had to run the application without any themes applied otherwise I was getting GTK errors when trying to select the location of my facepack.

I've followed the first step to get it to launch on SteamOS on Steam Deck in desktop mode.

I'm also getting the GTK errors when trying to select the image dir.

What do you mean by running the app without any themes? How do you do that?

Thank you

Looking at it again, it may be permission errors. I was getting "PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:" when trying to open a folder.

running the app as sudo seems to work.

sudo ./AppRun

sudo ./AppRun

That worked. Although it sets the config.xml owner as root:root and I wasn't sure if that would cause any problems in game so I just changed the owner to deck:deck.

Thank you so much for your reply :+1:

This worked, maybe it should be added to the readme?
