Prusa Slice 2.8.1
Hi all,
I found a strange problem with PrusaSlicer 2.8.1.
When I've downloaded a actually last version of Prusa Slicer (2.8.1) as AppImage and decompressed it via command:
./PrusaSlicer-2.8.1+linux-x64-newer-distros-GTK3-202409181416.AppImage --appimage-extract
all files were extracted into included subfolder
squashfs-root
and all look is OK. But it is not.
After switching into this subfolder and run a command:
./AppRun
I've got a error message:
/home/<username>/work/IoT/programs/prusa/prusa3d_linux_2_8_1/squashfs-root/usr/bin/bin/prusa-slicer: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It looks like that this library is missing in Appimage file.
My last correctly running version of Prusa Slicer from AppImage is: 2.7.4
My OS is Linux, distributions is Gentoo with actualisations.
Does anybody have a similar experience?
Thanks very much for your help.

RE: Prusa Slice 2.8.1
for me downloading from the application center helped. I had the same problem. but automatic installation from the software center helped. now I only have a problem because I can't select mk4S during configuration

Did you guys read the release notes ? - Copied from the github site
"IMPORTANT note for Linux users
PrusaSlicer now depends on WebKit library, which greatly complicates its distribution. Latest Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40) ship with newer version of WebKit than older (but still supported) distros. Bundling WebKit into the AppImage is difficult and may not be possible.
Therefore, we now provide two separate AppImages, both depending on webkit library. You may need to install the respective package before you are able to run PrusaSlicer.
Buildmin libwebkit2gtk versiondistributions examplesolder-distros4.0Ubuntu 22.04, Fedora 39, Debian 11newer-distros4.1Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Debian 12
The AppImages can extract themselves when run with --appimage-extract command line parameter.
It is quite likely that PrusaSlicer will switch only to Flatpak deployment from the next version on. The AppImage made sense when it could be used in the "bundle what you need, distribute a single file" way, but having to distribute several different AppImages and maintaining the required build infrastructure (and still worrying about what needs to be updated when some Linux distribution update is released) means burning time that we would much rather invest into actual work on PrusaSlicer."

Try this. I solved the problem:

Yes, i did, of coarse.
The link to their GitHub pages ( https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases) I keep in mind carefully...
