Unable to Run on Linux via AppImage

[nhalstead]

Hello, I've downloaded the AppImage and attempted to run it on PopOS 20.04 LTS.

Upon downloading it and attempting to run nothing runs, when I called to execute from the CLI I've got the following error.

./Stemn-0.0.25-x86_64.AppImage 
5052 5022
[11:22:49:0604] [info] ---------------- Application started ----------------

(stemn:260406): Pango-ERROR **: 11:22:49.639: Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

[1]    260406 trace trap (core dumped)  ./Stemn-0.0.25-x86_64.AppImage

Not sure what the fix would be, I've seen a few different responses on other issues on other repos but none have seem to show that its a working fix.

Hi! Thanks for trying out the AppImage release on PopOS 20.04.

It seems the pango version in the 20.04 distribution is incompatible with the compiled library in the v0.0.25 AppImage. To fix this we'll need to release a new stemn-desktop version with a newer version of pango.

In the meantime, try downgrading your system version using sudo apt-get install libpango-1.0-0=1.42.4-6ubuntu0.1. I've verified the AppImage runs with that version of the library.

Would you share with us your intended use case for stemn-desktop as user feedback please? 😄

I've tried running the command given and I get E: Version '1.42.4-6ubuntu0.1' for 'libpango-1.0-0' was not found. I'll give it a shot in my Windows VM.

As far as use case, I just wanted to see what it can do and see if it can be used in a workflow for a FIRST Robotics Team with the CAD Files that we try to centralize and keep up to date for parts and robot design amongst other functions.

I don't have access to a Pop!_OS machine unfortunately as they don't provide docker container builds. The versions available that distribution's repositories is no doubt different to my Ubuntu repositories. Use apt list -a <package name> to get the versions and try an older one 👍
