Lbry-desktop: startup failure

[Tcll]

latest version won't launch:

when launching via terminal, here's the output I get:

$ firejail --noprofile ./LBRY_0.39.0.AppImage
Parent pid 3214, child pid 3215

Child process initialized

parent is shutting down, bye...

It's a known bug on xenial systems we have filed on the sdk.

See lbry.com/faq/startup-troubleshooting for a download link.

@tzarebczan just to note, the link is a blank page:
https://build.lbry.io/app/build-9203_commit-87dddee/electron/
it might be because I'm blocking google trackers and 3rd-party frames... :P

I tried finding the commit ID on here, and I'm having issues finding a direct appimage download...
could I get a link to the associate release please. :/

Yea it's probably your blocker.

Try https://build.lbry.io/app/build-9203_commit-87dddee/electron/LBRY_0.39.0.AppImage

[Tcll]

thank you
it works like a charm ;)

btw, word of advice, all google domains invade your privacy, doing more than just delivering the referenced content you expect (eg: fonts.googleapis.com), especially if you have a blink-based browser.
if they didn't track you, I'd have no problem unblocking the domain.

can I request the appimage builds for older glibc be included in the release assets:

I can't upgrade to Void Linux on this machine currently and am stuck on Xubuntu 16.04 until I can successfully install Void on crypt-luks on my router (repurposed PC), and get my primary and server machines online to cut ties to this machine.

[tzarebczan]

Right now we have them up on the startup troubleshooting page since it affects such a small number of users. I'll consider adding it there with our next release.
