Description Helge Kruse 2021-05-17 10:10:40 CEST
Download today PulseView-NIGHTLY-x86_64.AppImage and start it on Lubuntu x86_64. There is a plugin that can't be loaded:

Still an issue with the nightly appimage version PulseView 0.5.0-git-7e5c839
and   libsigrokdecode 0.6.0-git-24ba9e1/4:0:0 (rt: 0.6.0-git-24ba9e1/4:0:0)

I can confirm it for:

    Nightly of 2022-08-18 ("0.5.0-git-153225b") run on Ubuntu 18.04


---------------------------------------------------

But not for:

Built from current source on 2022-08-14 on Ubuntu 22.04 (2022-07-30 for PulseView itself), likely the exact same source files for PulseView itself as the 2022-08-18 nightly. (And run on the same system, but not installed - using the noncommittal method described on page 4 in <https://sigrok.org/doc/pulseview/0.4.2/manual.pdf>)

It has a different (probably unrelated) warning:

"Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway."
