Noson snap doesn't run on Ubuntu 24.04

[tarcus69]

Hello, I tried installing Noson from the flatpak store on Ubuntu 24.04 but when run, it opens a black window with no content and then no longer responds. I have to force-quit it to remove it. This was with version 5.6.6 as currently in the store. I don't know what specifics you need for snap packages given they're self-contained I believe.

I have since added the PPA and installed the app natively, this does work but there's no login anywhere, it does show some of my sonos content but no services other than TuneIn. It also results in a "cogwheel" icon when running rather than using the app icon which only launches it:

Install details from the PPA:

sudo apt get install noson.txt

Weird, here the SNAP works as expected on Ubuntu 24.04.

If not the good choice is using the PPA. The "cogwheel" icon, even the window shape, is caused by missed or bad integration of the Qt framework in Ubuntu 24.04. I guess they will fix it soon.

Finally you can use the AppImage that I provide in the release page: https://github.com/janbar/noson-app/releases/download/5.6.6/noson-latest-ubuntu-jammy-x86_64.AppImage
For instance, it works great without issue on Ubuntu 24.04. To make it work, download the file (only the one I provide !!! for security issue) and set the execute permissions, then launch it.
