Applications packaged on Ubuntu 16.04 do not work on 20.04

[sarthakpati]

Describe the bug
I first saw this problem with a collaborator who is running this application.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

BraTSPipeline -u

Error message:

symbol lookup error: <some-random-path>/BraTSPipeline: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE10_M_replaceEmmPKcm, version Qt_5

Expected behavior
This should work.

CaPTk Version
1.8.0

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Version: 20.04 LTS

Additional context
Cross-posted in CBICA/CaPTk#1336

Seems like this symbol was introduced only recently (2018ish):

Please provide a direct download link to the CaPTk*.AppImage file so that it can be tested in https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/. Thanks!

[sarthakpati]

Thanks for the reminder [ref]; working on getting you a link for the latest AppImage right now.

[sarthakpati]

Here you go: ftp://www.nitrc.org/home/groups/captk/downloads/CaPTk-1.8.0.bin

I will keep this link persistent, until I figure out a better mechanism to automate this via CI.

[probonopd]

Thanks, but we'd need a http(s) link to an *.AppImage. Not an ftp:// link to a .bin.

[sarthakpati]

How about this?

Unfortunately it doesn't get picked up from within a git respository, but if you could put it on https://github.com/CBICA/precompiledBinaries/releases it might work. Thanks!

Thank you @sarthakpati. It passes the test on Ubuntu xenial 16.04 at least in the sense that it starts and then shows a dialog box concerning the lack of graphics drivers on the headless test machine. So if it stops working on 20.04, then something weird is going on.

By the way, what is BraTSPipeline and how do you launch it?

By the way, what is BraTSPipeline and how do you launch it?

It is a command line application and you can launch the help message via CaPTk BraTSPipeline -u.

[probonopd]

It is a command line application

Ah, so inside the AppImage there is more than one "payload" binary? Then deploying and testing the main one is not sufficient. We need to deploy (and test) the secondary ones as well...

[sarthakpati]

Unfortunately, yes. This application consists of a number of "mini applications"...

[probonopd]

OK, how did you AppImage-fy/deploy those? (i.e., make sure their dependencies are properly bundled)?

[sarthakpati]

Apart from Qt, all other dependencies are statically linked for each executable.

[sarthakpati]

Hi @probonopd, any update on this?

[probonopd]

Can you please run the AppImage with sudo strace -f ... and see if you can find out what is causing the error?

[sarthakpati]

Hi @probonopd: one of our developers is working on this and will directly reply here.

This was tried on a fresh 20.04 installation and this message didn't come up.
