AppImage Can't Launch #160

ArchLinux x86_64

./notekit-0.2.0+git1.73c1a86-Build6.1.glibc2.14-x86_64.AppImage
notekit: /tmp/.mount_noteki1QYbyB/usr/lib/libmount.so.1: version `MOUNT_2_40' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0)

Unfortunately I cannot get NoteKit to launch via the appimage, nor build via the AUR, nor run the .deb build. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This could be due to outdated libraries?

I really love the concept of this software, I don't know if you plan on coming back to this project, but it is genuinely the only application that can do what it does how it does it. Genuinely one of the best pieces of software I have ever seen, I wish it was more known because this absolutely rocks. Nothing else offers the same features in the same way.

the opposite really. The AppImage does not ship the glib family of libraries (glib,gobject,gmodule,gio) as they are ABI stable and they try to load plugins from the host, so we'll just use the host libraries.

The issue is that the AppImage still contains libmount which gio depends on. Then the host system gio tries to load the appimage libmount which doesn't work as its too old.

I've updated the app image script to exclude libmount and libselinux (similar issue for me), try the AppImage from here
