I note in the log file that the bambu network plugin is failing to load, and that a required library object is not found. Further research indicates this could be the cause of my error. How do I get the bambu plugin to load? Where do I find the alleged missing library and how do I load the library into the app image, please? Any chance of me getting an old-fashioned tarball where I can compile my own software outside of the app image infrastructure?

I see this on one of my machines (Fedora 39). In my case, it's related to egl+nvidia. If I remove /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json, it works.

You can force it to use mesa: __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json ./OrcaSlicer_Linux_V1.9.0.AppImage

Hello!

I can confirm that this issue still happens on Ubuntu 24.04 with OrcaSlicer v2.1.1

Forcing it to use mesa, solved the issue for me.

Thanks

I have/had the same issue, and I needed both ENV variables to resolve the problem.

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1

It appears to be working fine now, including the webcam view which didn't work as a Bottle/Wine install.

Fedora 40, KDE spin, Nvidia driver 560.35.03

This fixed it for me, im on i3/x11 so i used kmenuedit to set the environment variable after adding "exec_always XDG_MENU_PREFIX=arch- kbuildsycoca6" to my i3 config and reloading i3.
