does not launch on linux about ezytdl HOT 11 CLOSED

slow appimage speed has been fixed! (2185f11)

appimages used to build with maximum compression, which slowed them down LOTS (which previously I think didn't have issues??) -- they now build with the default compression, making them run much faster.

next dev build should let you use appimage again (which allows in-place auto updating)

from ezytdl.

can you launch it from the terminal and see the error it provides there? all stack traces should be logged there

from ezytdl.

not sure how to run the appimage from terminal but from source (2.5.0-dev1) i have this log error_ezytdl.txt

from ezytdl.

this issue was caused by ldconfig not being found in the system -- i wasn't actually aware that it was not pre-installed on every linux distro (though i should've probably taken it into account)

this should be fixed by next nightly build (or you should be able to work-around this issue by installing ldconfig on your system)

if either work, please do let me know!

from ezytdl.

yeah from what i can see ldconfig is not in my repos (or installed), so i'll just wait for the next nightly build and let you know how it goes

from ezytdl.

doing a quick search for it, it might be in the libc-bin package?

try installing that and trying again -- if that doesn't work, i'll go ahead and build a new nightly for you before schedule

from ezytdl.

unfortunately it's already installed at the newest version

from ezytdl.

i gotcha. i've started the nightly build and it should be released in around ~10min from now

from ezytdl.

new error

from ezytdl.

i installed libvips and i think it's working now

the only issue is that it takes about 10-15 seconds to open but besides that it works

from ezytdl.

i can definitely reproduce the 10-15 second start time, but so far as i know that's outside of my control. this is due to the compression used in appimage files; there isn't much i can do to fix that (i think??) :(

if you download and run the binary in the tar.gz download, it starts much quicker (but this will not work with auto updating, unfortunately)

otherwise, now that it's working, i can go ahead and close the issue :D
