@alexjba @caybro can you guys take a look?

[alexjba]

The qt webengine seems to be missing. @anastasiyaig can you reproduce as well?

[anastasiyaig]

i dont have 24.10 ubuntu so i cant @alexjba

[alexjba]

@yakimant Now you're the authority in terms of webengine dependency on linux 😄 . Any quick thought on this issue? This is the interesting error:

Same problem on Fedora; looks like we're bundling /usr/lib/libmount.so but that one needs a runtime dep /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0 from the actual system. I think we should bundle libgio as well into the AppImage

[caybro]

Seems to be a problem exclusively with the Linux NIX package, the "regular" one (found e.g. at https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/releases/download/2.31.1/StatusIm-Desktop-v2.31.1-a322b9-x86_64.tar.gz) works fine:

[anastasiyaig]

we need to republish "normal" build on the website asap, wondering who can help with that @felicio maybe you can?

[bobsummerwill]

Oh, the Nix part is interesting, @caybro.

I had not spotted that I downloaded the nix version for 2.31.1, where I had the non-nix version for 2.30.1.

I don't know what the "Download for Linux" (https://status.app/api/download/linux) reconciles to, but maybe best to have a page specifically for that, with stable versus beta and normal vs nix, etc?

I must have gone into the releases folder on Github manually, looking to make sure I was getting the right version (but screwed up the VARIANT of that version).

[bobsummerwill]

I can confirm that I have successfully started from the non-Nix AppImage for 2.31.1 :-)

So the weirdness is only in the Nix variant.

"I think we should bundle libgio as well into the AppImage"

I would concur @caybro!

Yeah, that's what the Download link on our website lead to, this is fixed now. Thanks you for reporting the problem
