v0.21.2-1

Please note - OpenSpace attempts to download many GB of data depending on the profile selected on launch. If you wish to download a large part of the data as a single zip file download, please download the OpenSpace-0.21.0.zip zip file from the Windows download and set the OPENSPACE_SYNC variable to point to the large sync directory (which would be the user/sync directory inside the downloaded unzipped directory).

Please set the environment variables QT_PLUGIN_PATH, OPENSPACE_USER and OPENSPACE_GLOBEBROWSING as mentioned at https://github.com/hn-88/OpenSpace-AppImage/releases/tag/0.20.1-1

Additionally, __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD, __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME, __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus may need to be set if you have NVidia cards which are not being detected by the AppImage.

Example usage is:

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins/
export OPENSPACE_USER="/home/myusername/Downloads/OpenSpace/user"  <-- change this path to some directory where you have write access
export OPENSPACE_GLOBEBROWSING=/home/myusername/Downloads/OpenSpaceData <-- change this path to some directory where you have write access
./OpenSpace-0.21.2*-x86_64.AppImage

Alternately, you can run the runopenspace.sh shell script in the same directory as the AppImage, which by default will set the OpenSpace/user directory under the current directory. Please remember to make the script as well as the AppImage executable before use:

chmod +x OpenSpace*AppImage
chmod +x runopenspace.sh

Please note the known issues and workarounds at https://github.com/hn-88/OpenSpace-AppImage/issues and please report any new issues there.

OpenSpace-0.21.2-1-x86_64.AppImage and runopenspace0.21.2.sh -

• Tested and working on Linux Mint 22.1 "xia", based on Ubuntu 24.04 "Ubuntu Noble Numbat".
• Tested and working on Ubuntu 22.04 live usb session, running x11 Windowing system, with an NVidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card.
• Tested and NOT working on Ubuntu 24.04 live usb session, running x11 Windowing system, with Nouveau driver on an NVidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. This was giving thousands of GL errors, and finally a blank screen.
• Tested and working on Ubuntu 24.04 after installation, running x11 Windowing system, with NVidia 550 driver on an NVidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card - this needed the libjack fix and the apparmor fix.
