AppImage on Debian 13 : gtkiconhelper and gdk-pixbuf-2.0 errors

[amigatoes]

Hello,

Running pcsx2 setup wizard is fine, but as soon as hitting the button to select the games directory, pcsx2 crashes.

Here is the output:

Code:

./pcsx2-v2.4.0-linux-appimage-x64-Qt.AppImage

Problem happens both with pcsx2 2.4.0 and the latest nightly builds.

Initially I thought it occurs due to missing libraries, or files, but I was able to workaround it by following found on Appimage Github discussions #1323, reproduced below:

Code:

./pcsx2.AppImage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/AppRun # try it, it will crash at the file open dialog
rm squashfs-root/usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0
rm squashfs-root/usr/plugins/platformthemes/libqgtk3.so
./squashfs-root/AppRun # try it, it will no longer crash at the file open dialog

Then running bin/pcsx2-qt found in the uncompressed squashfs tree.

Maybe something can be done during the appimage creation process to avoid this?

This problem didn't happen on another computer running Debian 14, with not the same environment (wayland+sway+qt gtk compatibility layers?). The one which exhibts the problem runs XFCE on Xorg.

Hope this helps,
