Java Script error when I installed on Ubuntu

Hi,

It seems that newest version of one of the native modules (better-sqlite) requires glibc in version which is not available in your OS

I will check in v.0.44 if it is possible to fix it somehow

@doclet @premper – could you check if v.0.44.1 solves your issue? It uses the same version of better-sqlite3 as v.0.42.1 of Publii

Well – it seems that it is a problem with better-sqlite3 packages for Electron 26. In this case owners of older linux distributions must wait as we will migrate to sqlite3 based on WASM, which not requires native module at all.

We will try to do as soon as possible, but it requires many small changes in the code to adjust use of the module – I do hope that we will release a fix in the nearest 1-2 weeks.

Hello! When I run the Appimage of this build, it fails to launch with the following output in terminal:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: 
Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

libvips-cpp.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Possible solutions:
- Install with verbose logging and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts --verbose sharp"
- Install for the current linux-x64 runtime: "npm install --platform=linux --arch=x64 sharp"
- Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install

Sorry, my bad, used wrong file! Now I tried the Appimage from the google drive link you provided earlier in this thread and it worked fine. Then I installed the DEB file from the same google drive folder, it works too. Thank you very much! Problem solved.

Hello! Having the same problem when upgrading to the latest version, I’ve installed the google-drive version from the link. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fully work for me. I’m attaching for better explanation some screenshots of the issues. In detail, I can’t modify the name of authors and menu, or add any new. I have Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks for any help you could provide.

Thanks a lot for your fast feedback.. In the while I’ve upgraded my system to Ubuntu 22, then no more errors there.. Thank you again for your support! Just for information, restarting Publii after the above errors didn’t solve the issues.. Unfortunately I can’t reproduce it now..
