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
