Binary fails to launch on Linux despite dependencies
3 posts · Closed
Downloaded the TAR and dragged the binary to the desktop. Double-clicking did nothing.
Launching from terminal with ./networx gave the error: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Add the dependency: sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
Now no error on launching NetWorx, but nothing happens.
I read somewhere that 32-bit apps need the 32-bit version of canberra so: sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386
Again, running ./networx does nothing. The process exists, however. And double-clicking the file on the desktop also gives the same result: a zombie process without any interface appearing.
NetWorx requires the TopIcons GNOME extension to be installed as shown below. Once installed and rebooted, it should appear in the notification area.

thank you! don't know how i missed that.
