AppImage only works on latest ubuntu due to GLIBC requirement

[slrslr]

Describe the bug

It appears that the latest AppImage fails to work on stable version of Debian (12):

./UnstoppableSwap_1.0.0-rc.6_amd64.AppImage

unstoppableswap-gui-rs: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_UnstopT9v551/usr/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0)

This is a known issue but thanks for the report. You'll need to use to latest debian / ubuntu version. We are looking into also supporting older distros but this is currently blocked due to a bug in WebKit.

See: gitbutlerapp/gitbutler#5282 (comment)

use to latest debian / ubuntu version

I assume that you mean unstable, testing OS. I prefer stable OS, You should rather support latest stable versions of the GNU/Linux. There is also no released .deb file (You have mentioned why). Do I have any other option to run the app?

Following does NOT contain any other Linux instructions:

Ubuntu 24.04 is stable and will work.

Hello, I just found out about UnstoppableSwap today and I use Debian 12. I have the same issue, and the latest AppImage I'm actually able to run is v1.0.0-rc.2. Is this safe? I really don't feel like installing an Ubuntu VM for one app

It's safe to use but it'll not route your traffic over tor because this was added in 1.0.0-rc.6.

@slrslr What's your glibc version? Try running one of these commands:

ldd --version
getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION
strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC

[slrslr]

What's your glibc version

$ ldd --version
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.36-9+deb12u9) 2.36

$ getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION
glibc 2.36

strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC

This ought to work on more than just Debian Testing. It ought to work on Debian stable.

Can you guys test the .deb image of the latest release?

https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/core/releases/tag/1.0.0-rc.9

@binarybaron

"test the .deb image"

It installed and launched on my stable Debian (12) amd64. Though there were some error/s. One was in the UI: "Failed to connect to public registry (xhr poll error)"

Full terminal output: https://pastebin.com/XJapfvKL

Also when you search for "rc." it looks to be suggesting and warning about old (rc1 as latest version, which is now not latest per my understanding).

UPDATE: after messing with it a bit more, I have found the app launcher menu has two launchers for the app (with same name :-/) in the properties I have found one is rs/rust. The rust one launches without error. As seen under the link above, on the top, i have 2 packages. So I have removed older one (unstoppableswap-gui/now 0.6.4 amd64 [installed,local]): sudo apt purge unstoppableswap-gui

The old GUI should display a warning to update to 1.0.0-rc.1. All subsequent releases will only be picked up by the new auto updater in the new GUI (> 1.0.0-rc.1).

Did I understand correctly that the new GUI is working on your machine?

[slrslr]

yes, it launched without error, i did no configuration or swap since there is no maker with acceptable markup fee.
