Abandon

Same here, since dist-upgrade to last debian testing

[Nir Arbel]

I was able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 20 while working on a new Linux build. Will update as I learn more.

[Nir Arbel]

Any luck with this build? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I7v1fh7jXa_YOh_AJ52XqRB3QJlqc1Hi/view?usp=sharing

[And12 Somes]

Yes, it works, but takes a long time to start.

[Nir Arbel]

Which version of Debian is this on? I can try reproducing the problem on a new virtual machine.

[Nir Arbel]

Works very well for me with a clean Debian 12 install.

[Earl Namoko]

It works perfectly for me now! :-)

[Nir Arbel]

Thanks for letting me know!

[Trip Notic]

I confirm, it works well with the new build. Thanks for the fix ! (debian testing)

[Fritigern Gothly]

Had the same issue as the OP only after installing Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) early.
I can confirm that this build works well. 

[Franko Burolo]

I can, too, confirm that the new build seems to work fine with Ubuntu 24.04. Only the icon is missing in my panel/task manager. Other than that, I guess the new build is ready to be available on the download page.

Thank you very much!

[Lorenzo Stanco]

Thanks! Same problem after I upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04, the new build works fine.

[Andrija Koncani]

Great! It works! Thanks!

[Richy Rich]

thank you!!!!

[VoxelTek]

Hey! Would it make sense to push this new build to the main download page, and/or pin this forum post? I had this same issue, and I was looking for a solution for a while before I stumbled across this.

[Francisco José Rodríguez Márquez]

This works well.  It would be nice if you upload it to the main website, it was hard to find the file. Thanks for your work!

Sorry yes, I will do it as soon as I can.

hallo. the 2018 build would not start due to xcb error however this new build crashes when searching for music with

```/media/project/taskdisk/24.06% ./SoulseekQt-2024-2-4.AppImage        

(process:6920): GLib-ERROR **: 12:34:04.108: Creating pipes for GWakeup: Too many open files
[1]    6920 trace trap  ./SoulseekQt-2024-2-4.AppImage

```

the term I searched for made quite a lot of results if that could hhave affected the program. thanks for making this new build, nice to see new linux version.
