It's impossible to run Slate on Linux due to some lib files missing #130

Closed Gaarco closed 4 years ago

Gaarco commented 5 years ago

When I try to open Slate (version 0.8 but I tested also with the previous one and the outcome was the same) I get an error: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, on my system I have libdouble-conversion.so.3.1.5 but it doesn't seem to work. Also building from source doesn't work, when I try to run Slate: error while loading shared libraries: libslate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think I will solve this by just bundling that library with the app in the next release.

It's been a while, but I tried only now and I know it might be too late. Version 0.7 works, I don't know why but it works. 0.8 and 0.6 don't.

Oh, that's weird... thanks for letting me know.

Hi, I'm trying open Slate 0.8.0. First I get a message saying that libpng6 was not installed:

./Slate: error while loading shared libraries: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing it, now I get:

./Slate: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/Slate-v0.8.0-linux/lib/libQt5Core.so.5)

Ive tryied download 0.7.0 and this dependency messages were not shown to me, but it raises an segfault.

My system info:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

Linux XXX 4.4.0-171-generic #200-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Its possible include all these dependencies inside the executable? Would be nice :D

If it works for the other distros (as well as newer Ubuntus), then it's no problem to include it. :) I'll just need to set aside some time to download e.g. Manjaro and Ubuntu 16 and test it.

mitchcurtis commented 4 years ago

I just set up Manjaro in a VM (from manjaro-xfce-18.1.5-191229-linux54.iso) and tried with the upcoming 0.9.0 release of Slate and it worked without problems, so I think what I'll do is upload that release and get you to try it again, @Gaarco. If it doesn't work for you, I will upload new binaries with libdouble-conversion.so.1 included.

I also tested it on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04, but there I get the xcb plugin error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

... which is similar to the one that @acoolstraw got after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, except that theirs was about it not being found, whereas in this case it finds it but can't load it for whatever reason. So I need to look into that.

When running Slate like this

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./Slate

I get this output:

That looks very similar to what @cptx032 ran into, except that was a missing dependency of libQt5Core.so.5 and not libsystemd.so.0.

Apparently running libc is enough to discover its version, so I did that on the Ubuntu 16.04 VM:

So the version of the system libc is 2.23, and libsystemd.so.0 wants 2.25 (for reference, the machine that I built Slate on, the system libc is 2.27, and the Manjaro I'm using uses 2.30). Following this answer, I ran apt-get update and then apt-cache policy libc6 but there was no change in versions listed. If "yes" is actually the answer to this question, then I see two options: bundle libc with the app (if that's not an awful idea to begin with), or state that the Linux binaries I offer require Ubuntu 18.04.

mitchcurtis commented 4 years ago

I don't really want to bundle libc with the app, as it seems kinda dodgy to me - I don't see anyone else doing it and most of the advice on the Internet for people with glibc issues is: upgrade your OS. I spent a good deal of time trying to get 16.04 set up to build Slate (so that both 16.04 and 18.04 would (hopefully) be supported), but I've been working on this stuff all weekend and keep running into issues. I've run out of patience, sorry. :)

I will update the main page to state which OS the Linux binaries were built with and that other versions of that OS or other distros may or may not work.
