I am getting a seg fault error when running PrusaControl, File name: prusacontrol_0.9.4.415_beta.AppImage Downloaded from: https://prusacontrol.org/#download System version: Fedora (4.17.6-200.fc28.x86_64)

Please run LD_DEBUG=libs ./prusacontrol_0.9.4.415_beta.AppImage, do you see any errors?

Yes, HarfBuzz strikes again! It seems to be so closely linked to FreeType that either both or none must be bundled but not just one of them without the other.

Please try whether this fixes it:

./prusacontrol_0.9.4.415_beta.AppImage --appimage-extract
find squashfs-root/ -name *freetype* -delete
./squashfs-root/AppRun 
# Does it run?

If this solves it (without breaking it for other distributions), then we should consider to not bundle FreeType in the AppImage.

Running that command created a new folder called "squashfs-root", I've try to do

cd squashfs-root/
./AppRun

But still got "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Based on: https://gist.github.com/cryzed/e002e7057435f02cc7894b9e748c5671 It's seems like a problem with the freetype version

[probonopd]

Yes, did you run find squashfs-root/ -name *freetype* -delete (without doing cd squashfs-root/ first)? It should have deleted the bundled FreeType.

Run LD_DEBUG=libs ./squashfs-root/AppRun to see what is going on with FreeType and HarfBuzz this time...

[xqgex]

My bad, I thought that "find" is an arguments for the AppImage Doing:

1. ./prusacontrol_0.9.4.415_beta.AppImage --appimage-extract
2. find squashfs-root/ -name freetype -delete
3. ./squashfs-root/AppRun

Works!!!

So, FreeType should not be bundled @tibor-vavra
