New Cura 5 appimage gives OpenGL Probe error on launch.
This thread on the Ultimaker forum describes a workaround:
AppImage=./Ultimaker-Cura-5.0.0-linux.AppImage
./${AppImage} --appimage-extract
mv squashfs-root/libstdc++.so.6 squashfs-root/libstdc++.so.6.removed
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage squashfs-root
mv -f Ultimaker_Cura-x86_64.AppImage ${AppImage}
But I had some issues:
- The path is not the path that the Appimage Launcher used when integrating the Appimage into my system, and it also appended the file name with what I’m assuming is a unique identifier.
- The path to appimage tool was also incorrect
Modifying the commands to point to the correct file names and paths, WORKED, much to my relief.
Since the Appimage Launcher created a ~/Applications folder, I started in that directory and ran the commands:
AppImage=./Ultimaker-Cura-5.0.0-linux_07ecc3f54905e865167d2bcd7cfe459c.AppImage
./${AppImage} --appimage-extract
mv squashfs-root/libstdc++.so.6 squashfs-root/libstdc++.so.6.removed
/usr/bin/appimagetool squashfs-root
mv -f Ultimaker_Cura-x86_64.AppImage ${AppImage}
So it looks like I extracted the Appimage, removed a library, re-compressed it, and created a new Appimage…I think.
Anyway, Cura 5 now runs on my install of Manjaro KDE on X11. I’m going to try it on Wayland next.
EDIT: Nope. I get the same OpenGL error on Wayland (KDE 5.25). Plus I get weird scaling issues on Wayland, so I’m sticking with X11 for now.
