Fails to successfully start the AppImage

[Victor239]

• I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• OS name and version: Kubuntu 24.10

• ActivityWatch version: v0.13.2

Describe the bug

When trying to launch the AppImage I get the following error message:

Additional context

I have the same. Installed the official activitywatch-bin-0.13.2-1 from AUR, starting aw-qt, I get an error /opt/activitywatch/libQt6WaylandClient.so.6: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags. Full logs below. The interesting part is that things seems to work when compiling it manually through python virtualenv from the main branch. Perhaps this issue has been fixed, but not released yet?

Post-edit:

• I've tried doing a full system upgrade and rebooted, didn't help
• The server stays up after running the command above, but the tray icon fails, and the watchers die with the error message that the parent process disappeared.

Here is the corresponding log when starting aw-qt from venv and latest git:

(There is an error there also, but that should probably be raised in another issue. At least the tray icon is in place, and the two standard watchers are running. Though, I've had problems with the afk watcher)
