AppImage only works on latest debian due to GLIBC requirement

[slrslr]

Describe the bug

It appears that the latest AppImage fails to work on stable version of Debian (12):

./UnstoppableSwap_1.0.0-rc.6_amd64.AppImage

This is a known issue but thanks for the report. You'll need to use to latest debian / ubuntu version. We are looking into also supporting older distros but this is currently blocked due to a bug in WebKit.

I assume that you mean unstable, testing OS. I prefer stable OS, You should rather support latest stable versions of the GNU/Linux. There is also no released .deb file (You have mentioned why). Do I have any other option to run the app?

Following does NOT contain any other Linux instructions: https://docs.unstoppableswap.net/getting_started/install_instructions https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/core/blob/master/docs/pages/getting_started/install_instructions.mdx

Ubuntu 24.04 is stable and will work.

Hello, I just found out about UnstoppableSwap today and I use Debian 12. I have the same issue, and the latest AppImage I'm actually able to run is v1.0.0-rc.2. Is this safe? I really don't feel like installing an Ubuntu VM for one app

It's safe to use but it'll not route your traffic over tor because this was added in 1.0.0-rc.6.

@slrslr What's your glibc version? Try running one of these commands:

ldd --version
getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION
strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC

What's your glibc version

$ ldd --version
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.36-9+deb12u9) 2.36

$ getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION
