Won't start on Mint 19.3

[austindowney]

I have downloaded in from this site but am not able to get it to run on mint 19.3

Here are the errors

[5040] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIMS58e6/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIMS58e6/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

It seems to be related to GLIBC_2.29, while Mint 19.3 has Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1.

If I download the source code, I can get it to run by calling in the terminal. So maybe it has to do with how it was packaged?

I have the same issue:
[3558] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIE2t5wU/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIE2t5wU/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

Just ion case, I have manually installed python3.7 and libpython3.7 'cause Mint19.3 had only the v3.6 installed by default.

@pcolamar @austindowney This application is being rewritten from scratch now. The AppImage will therefore be updated as well :) PySide6 is causing some issues which is why I'll stick with PySide2 for the moment. I've noted down all the issues and will keep a close eye on these while testing.

In the meantime, let me know whether AppImage is what you prefer or something else like native packages. Although our intention is to cover as many as possible, hearing from you will help us in prioritizing.

Your question risks to generate a riot 😄
Jokes a part, while I use Snap and Flatpak, those formats have the inherent limitation of being contained to userspace and so not being immediately able to see mounted disks. (I work a lot with network disks mounted on / ).
Giving the above I would prefer .deb or Appimages in those cases like "compress-pdf" .
Only caveat with Appimage is the (often) lack of integration in to the desktop environment.
What's the purpose of an Appimage that proposes a GUI if you have to launch it from the CLI ?
