AppImage fails to start on Arch Linux - Linhx - 11.02.2026
Hello,
I have a problem with Hybrid-2025.11.09.1-x86_64.AppImage on Arch Linux and hope for your help.
Problem: The AppImage loads the system library libQt6DBus.so.6 from /usr/lib/ instead of internal libraries, even though LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./usr/lib is set.
Error message: /tmp/.mount_Hybrid*/usr/bin/Hybrid: /tmp/.mount_Hybrid*/usr/lib/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/libQt6DBus.so.6)
Details:
AppImage contains libQt6Core.so.6 with Qt 6.10 support (internal OK)
Still loads system libQt6DBus.so.6 (newer Qt without Qt_6.10 symbols)
Same error after --appimage-extract
System: Arch Linux (Feb 2026), ICU74 installed
Suspected issues:
RPATH in Hybrid binary points to system paths
Missing internal libQt6DBus.so.6 in AppImage
Qt DBus ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Verification: ldd usr/bin/Hybrid | grep Qt6DBus → /usr/lib/libQt6DBus.so.6 (system!)
Could you please rebuild the AppImage with fully isolated Qt6 stack (including DBus libraries) or fix RPATH settings?
Thank you very much for your support!

It’s not starting
$ ./Hybrid-2025.11.09.1-x86_64.AppImage
/tmp/.mount_Hybridz6rwky/usr/bin/Hybrid: /tmp/.mount_Hybridz6rwky/usr/lib/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/libQt6DBus.so.6)

Uploaded a new AppImage where I tried to
* explicitly copy libQt6DBus.so.6 to usr/lib inside AppImage.
* set RUNPATH using patchelf to $ORIGIN/../lib:$ORIGIN/../lib32, so the loader prioritizes AppImage libraries over system ones.
* bundles all essential Qt6 plugins, including platforms, sqldrivers, and any QML modules.
hopefully that works for you.

Thank you for your help, but I can't find a new version.
I only see the same "Hybrid-2025.11.09.1-x86_64.AppImage" which did't work

Inside my GoogleDriveShare, inside the "experimental" folder and there inside the "Linux AppImage" should be atm.: Hybrid-2026.02.14.1-x86_64.AppImage
