AppImage 3.6.2 does not open on Linux Mint 20.2 after system update

• Nov 19, 2021 - 21:07

Hello
I have used MuseScore on and off for a few months. However, I have recently performed recommended system updates on my Linux Mint install to update to 20.2 and now MuseScore does not start either from the command line or the desktop.

I have tried remove and reinstall and I have tried a factory reset (using the -F flag) and neither have helped.

Command line output:

arcoddath@UNIVAX-1000:~/MuseScore$ ./MuseScore-3.6.2.548021370-x86_64.AppImage
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjack.so.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so

Any ideas as to what I can try next?

That's all the output you get? Does it just return to the command prompt or crash? How about if you add "-d"? How about if you reboot (that result might be expected if the process is already running).

One thing I have heard of is some recent Linux distributions removing the Qt libraries, or only having newer ones and not the ones existing applications rely on. So it's possible you would need to install Qt 5.9. But that's really just a guess.
