Such a relief to see this button now:
So, would you like to provide an official one?
Hi, I just tested out the AppImage on my computer, and it's working fine. I just had a few questions/clarifications:
bash -ex Recipe Instant-Lyrics
, which I guess will do the following:Can you please point me to a 256x256 px application icon in your repository that we can put into ./usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/instantlyrics.png
?
ah! I hadn't maintained the icons properly. Hold up; I'll need to add some more resolutions icons. I'll let you know.
Added the 256x256 png at https://github.com/bhrigu123/Instant-Lyrics/blob/master/icons/instant-lyrics-256.png
Great.
So, just to confirm, to create a new AppImage, I just need to run bash -ex Recipe Instant-Lyrics
, which will automatically fetch the latest master branch of my repo. (which I should add to my releases). right?
That is correct @bhrigu123. Alternatively you can of course host your own yml
and feed that into the Recipe.
Oh cool.
I'm finishing up on some changes and will update the repo soon.
Done.
Works like a charm for me. Thank you for this useful app!
Hey, @probonopd , the AppImage stopped working suddenly. When I tried running it from the terminal I'm now getting this error:
./Instant_Lyrics-git.e3c0cc2.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage
/bin/bash: ../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available (required by /bin/bash)

suggests that files are being loaded from /usr rather than from inside the AppImage. Need to find out the reason for this and change it.
Could this change be the culprit? https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/commit/020e0a3eaaea3db337a48628b8ebd347206b188a
um...I can't be much sure about the Recipe file.
Although, how can an AppImage, which was running fine previously, would suddenly stop working? I mean that AppImage file has already been bundled/compiled. And no changes can be done to it now. So how can that same file stop to work like before?
So, you are saying you did not make or download a new AppImage, but the existing one suddenly stopped working?
In this case, something on your system must have changed, since AppImages are immutable (=read-only).
Yes, that is correct. The existing AppImage stopped working. I don't think I did anything that could cause changes to my system.
Also, when I'm running my app directly from source (the python file) then it is working just fine. So if it can run from the Python file, I think the system must be fine.
The one on your GitHub Releases page works fine for me on KDE neon User Edition 5.9:
Oh, okay. The same file is not running on mine. Not sure why. Let me just see if it is working on some more systems also, or is it just me.
What is the command for Fedora25? Please help.
@kareemamrr1203 Are you trying to install from AppImage or from Source? At the moment, the AppImage is of older version. To get latest version, install from source.
If you are installing from AppImage:
.AppImage
file from releases of v1.0.chmod a+x filename.AppImage
./filename.AppImage
To install and run from source, instructions are given in README.
I followed the instructions but at the last step it just does nothing, thoughts?
Yes it will not display any message on the terminal. After running the command, there should be a new icon appearing on the Indicator Panel (System Tray). See if it's there.
(Also, create a New issue if there's still problem. This issue was for AppImage)
i'm sorry I don't know how im new here :D but no icon is appearing on the tray still
Oh....I see. I've not tested on Fedora yet, and am not much a Fedora guy.
Are there some different Sessions/Display Supports in Fedora. Like Wayland, X11 or Xorg. Try running on a different Session. Because someone else also had an issue. See this: #4
I'll soon test on Fedora and see to it.
@kareemamrr1203 did the AppImage work for you?
Ping - how do you want to proceed with this?
Currently it is quite complicated to install Instant-Lyrics, with many manual steps:
Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
I generated a test AppImage for Instant-Lyrics: https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/Instant_Lyrics/_latestVersion#files Just download, make it executable, and run. Should work on most 2014-ish and later distributions. Some fine-tuning may be needed.
Here is a yml file that controls the AppImage generation: https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/meta/Instant-Lyrics.yml
To run it, do the following on a Ubuntu or Debian system:
This will grab the latest version of Instant-Lyrics from this GitHub repository and produce an AppImage.
