[steve7233]

Konsole run is thus:

/home/vince/Downloads/SatisfactoryModManager_linux_amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You assume we know what this thing is, and where you got it from........

But assuming it came from HERE, you will want to start by looking to them for assistance.
Such as their Discord, as they suggest.

This is the most current issue on their tracker

webkit2gtk-4.0-37 isn't available in 24.04 - yet.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=webkit2gtk

It won't come to 24.04, which is on 4.1 now. it looks to be the same in Debian Bookworm, so this problem will be affecting users there as well.
The project will need to move to a newer version of their UI libraries that supports gtk 4.1.

It is a Mod Manager for the game Satisfactory from Coffie Stain Studios. I think the game is better than Factoria which I also have but that is just my opinion. The creator said

TLDR: ubuntu 24.04 doesn't include webkit2gtk-4.0, it includes 4.1, but can't use it yet because the wails version that updates to that is not released

. He made me a version of SMM using the old version of Wails. It works now. After Satisfactory 1.0 releases - Probably this year-, then maybe the company will finally release an official mod manager for the game. This user-created one does a great job for now. I hope Wails updates soon. I find lots of complaints about Apple image files not installing on several distros because of this over on git hub.

It is the most current because I am the one who reported the issue or did you not notice that it is the same user name?

[claydoh]

did you not notice that it is the same user name?

Nope, I just saw a snippet, copy-pasta'd and moved on. My job sometimes gets in the way of my multitasking
Tho I am very surprised I didn't. I usually check a username, especially with something very fresh, since we all are moving around in the same places very often. I come across people I have interacted with quite often in other venues, in this exact sort of situation



My small point about not knowing what a thing is is more to do with Helping Us Help You™, as tossing a link makes things easier to locate, as a starting point.

Good point. I'll try to remember to add links in the future.
