Xplorer .AppImage doesn't run on Fedora Linux about xplorer HOT 10 OPEN

I did have installed the dependency on my system, the correct version. However it expected it to be under "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" and I had it under "/usr/lib/". I did a quick test with a symlink and it works just fine, the application now works, but that's not a solution.

Maybe the distro doesn't have the dependency or maybe it has but it's just in a different location, but that dependency, being a critical dependency which has caused problems, should be in the AppImage itself, I think.

UPDATE:
Just found out this issue is the same one as this, and this person solved it the same way I did. If it's a Tauri problem then I guess it's just a matter of waiting

Can confirm this happening to me too under Arch Linux. I have installed all the webkit2gtk versions in the official repos but the "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" folder doesn't exist. I do not get the gtk canberra messages tho.

It seems libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 package needed as Tauri dependency isn't installed in Most distribution.

In fedora's case, running
sudo dnf install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 gives
No match for argument: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 Error: Unable to find a match: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

It's not in the official repos.

I think the AppImage will have to include libwebkit2gtk itself which I'm unsure Xplorer devs should handle or Tauri's side.

Really sorry that I won't able to check which problems is it but one question, does installing libwebkit2gtk fix it? If it does, I think I'll just write it on the docs (or maybe any PR will be welcomed)

from xplorer.

Yes. That Pull request to Tauri also mentions my case. So it's a Tauri issue.

Edit : It shows that it's Merged. So maybe try using Latest Tauri to build it?

App image is broken. Manjaro Linux.

For some reason you have in readme badge of [Arch] which points not to AUR but to releases page on GH. And there are no tgz, only stupid AppImage, and deb package.

When I run AppImage I'm gerring following error:

Unable to spawn a new child process: Не вдалося виконати дочірній процес «/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitNetworkProcess» (No such file or directory)

Wasn't it the point of app image to bundle everything?

And wasn't this the point of Tauri -- to use system PROVIDED webkit, to not increase package size.

And then I unpacked deb archive and run it, and it works!!!

Previously I have installed webkitgtk package from repo.

from xplorer.

I tried all the versions and 1.0 is the only version worked.

I use Fedora 37 and installed sudo dnf install webkit2gtk3 and still the latest versions don't work

from xplorer.

@ZHassanQ I think you need GTK4, not GTK3

from xplorer.

But app image is broken. Just try unpacking deb package.

That's a shame, that Xplorer.app.tar.gz is Mac version. Would be nice to have linux version packaged as simple archive, and let users to take care of their dependencies.

@Mart-Bogdan sudo dnf install gtk4 says is already installed.
