Can't get spyglass to open in PCLinuxOS xfce or Plasma

[nanoitch]

Tried three different versions including the latest spyglass_23.5.1_amd64.AppImage.
No version will launch for me. Run from a terminal I get this error.

[xxx@localhost ~]$ ./spyglass_23.5.1_amd64.AppImage
thread 'main' panicked at 'APPDIR or APPIMAGE environment variable found but this application was not detected as an AppImage; this might be a security issue.', /home/runner/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/tauri-utils-1.2.1/src/lib.rs:202:11
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

Don't know what that means.
The output of backtrace full is

[xxx@localhost ~]$ RUST_BACKTRACE=full spyglass_23.5.1_amd64.AppImage
bash: spyglass_23.5.1_amd64.AppImage: command not found

I use quiet a few AppImages and all run OK.
Is there any hope? Or is it a lost cause for me?
Much thanks.

hey @nanoitch that looks like an issue w/ our AppImage build which I know is a little flaky with Tauri. Would you be able to build and run things locally?

We primarily test on Ubuntu but I'll spin up a VM w/ PCLinuxOS later today to take a look

[nanoitch]

Hi, I had a look at installing from source, but we seem to have missing dependencies, like cargo and npm.
Unfortunately not available in PCLinuxOS repos. Maybe a few others too.
That's why I like to use appimges when I run in to such problems.

I did download spyglass appimage on mxlinux xfce, running on the same machine and it worked fine after installing a required depend, can't remember what it was at the moment.

It would be nice to get it working on PCLinuxOS. but if not not to worry, I know you have to deal with other problems too.

thanks.
