How to use on Debian 12?

Yeah, I know. I still consider pgModeler AppImages experimental. For the next release I will try to build them on a distro a bit more older than the one I use for development.

I'm getting the same error with .run bundle, so it's more general issue.

Latest Ubuntu LTS could be safe choice for the build server.

Hi

It seems a Glibc version incompatibility as hinted by the error message. pgModeler libs require 3.4.32, which one is installed in your system?

[GitStorageOne]

libc6-dev/stable,stable-security,now 2.36-9+deb12u4 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libc6/stable,stable-security,now 2.36-9+deb12u4 amd64 [installed]

I guess 2.36?

I remember having a similar problem with my own software when I compiled it using the latest OS.
Many users reported something similar, so I used a separate virtual machine with an old OS to compile.
This library is backwards compatible, so after compiling on an older OS my application worked everywhere.

AppImage is designed to be backward compatible with older Glibc version. The problem is with pgModeler build itself. I needed to get rid of that backward compatibility so I could use newer Qt versions. Unfortunately, for the problem you're facing, the solution is to use a newer OS (I don't know how old is Debian 12) but to give you an idea, pgModeler is built on a opensuse 15.5.

I see,
Debian 12 was released June 10th, 2023

I will test on the most popular and latest distro - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

It doesn't work either.
It seems, pre-compiled appimage has very limited OS support, which also is not listed anywhere.

As far as I understand, targeting to GLIBC 3.4.30 would be OK for the most distros.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll build a snapshot later today and let you know. ;)
