packer stuck showing config file.

[rahul-vashishtha]

I used the npx nodegui-packer --init EAT to initial packer. Then I build the project and then ran the npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist command.
I'm trying to build the Linux executable. Here are the following issues I'm facing:

1. The packer stuck while showing the details of the .desktop file. Here is the screenshot.
   
   It is stuck here for half and hour.

2. While it is running, I tried running the executables created by double clicking them, they are not running. Below is the screenshot
   

3. I created symlink to .desktop file onto my desktop to run it. Still no luck.

Hi @TeckFreak Can you try running ./qode from command line and see if that works ?

Looks like linuxdeployqt got stuck while creating appImage. But rest of it went through

Hi @master-atul ,
Running ./qode worked, but no AppImage generated. Rest everything went through.
Also, I'd like to mention, I tried building AppImage manually, but the problems it is showing that it requires Ubuntu 14.04 to build and I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.

Yep thats the limitation with latest linuxdeployqt.
You can try using an older version of linuxdeployqt that works on all versions of ubuntu

[rahul-vashishtha]

Okay, I'll try that and get back if it works or not.

@master-atul Tried using older versions of linuxdeployqt, same output. Searched in it's issues too, they recommend to build on old machine. Seems the problem is with the software engineering of AppImage.
