Note that you cannot even run sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev to resolve, because that package no longer exists in Ubuntu 24.04. They've upgraded it to libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev.

I don't know much about AppImage, but my general gut feeling is that a flatpak wouldn't have this same issue.

This worked for me:

./OrcaSlicer_Linux_Ubuntu2404_V2.2.0-beta2.AppImage --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root
./AppRun

One solution is to make a symbolic link to the newer version. So it uses that one instead. There seem to be no breaking changes:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18

that package does not exist

[john-parton]

It probably depends on your specific version of Ubuntu. I believe there's a Ubuntu-specific AppImage. I understand the irony in having a system-specific version of a file that's supposed to be system-agnostic, but that's what I've been running and it works in my case.
