Appimage no longer works in Ubuntu 24.04

[rflgrt]

Hi,

when I tried to start the Appimage of v0.79.10-pl3 on Ubuntu 24.04 (dvdisaster worked in previous Ubuntu versions) I get the following error message:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge" /tmp/.mount_dvdisaJunE6x/usr/bin/dvdisaster: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_pointer

Best wishes

Interestingly, a workaround was to delete the libgail-common package from your OS: for some reason AppImage tries to use it and of course it fails as the AppImage libraries are not the same version than your host.

I just rebuild and reuploaded the AppImage version of the latest release to include libgail-common, so that it no longer tries to use the host one, this should work without requiring any workaround.

Thanks a lot for the fast fix! That solved the problem.
Also many thanks for keeping this useful tool alive!

It looks like a version of this issue still exists. I'm unable to correctly use the GUI (checkboxes don't render) on Ubuntu 24.04 or the latest pop os release.

In console:

It goes on like this for awhile longer, and spams the console with these critical errors whenever you navigate the GUI.

I'd really like to not have to use windows in the last step of authoring my backups. Thank you!
