How make it work on Ubuntu 24+ :

Because libgconf-2-4 is missing it doesn’t work anymore, libgconf-2-4 became obsolete in Ubuntu 24.

First I extracted the Appimage in a folder :

./tape.AppImage --appimage-extract

Then I downloaded the old libgconf from Ubuntu 22 :

wget http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gconf/libgconf-2-4_3.2.6-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb

wget http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gconf/gconf2-common_3.2.6-6ubuntu1_all.deb

I installed these two .deb :

sudo dpkg -i gconf2-common_3.2.6-6ubuntu1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgconf-2-4_3.2.6-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb

It works now when I type ./tape in the extracted folder !


To add a shortcut in the start menu :

nano ~/.local/share/applications/tape.desktop

Then paste and replace MYUSER by your username :

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=Tape

Comment=Tape

Exec=/home/MYUSER/Applications/tape/tape

Icon=/home/MYUSER/Applications/tape/tape.png

Terminal=false

Categories=Utility;

StartupWMClass=tape
