See the Build Results workflow run for details. |
The LD_PRELOAD of system libglib-2.0.so.0 was added in mavlink#13757 to fix TTS (libspeechd) failing because the bundled GLib lacked the g_string_free_and_steal symbol (added in GLib 2.76). The CI build environment is now ubuntu-24.04, which ships GLib 2.80. linuxdeploy bundles that GLib into the AppImage, so the TTS issue is no longer applicable. On systems with a newer system GLib (e.g. Arch Linux), the preload causes a version mismatch between the system GLib and the bundled GObject/GStreamer, resulting in a segfault on pipeline startup.

Description
Refer to Issue #14615 for the segfault bug I was experiencing.
The LD_PRELOAD of system libglib-2.0.so.0 was added in #13757 to fix TTS (libspeechd) failing because the bundled GLib lacked the g_string_free_and_steal symbol (added in GLib 2.76).
The CI build environment is now ubuntu-24.04, which ships GLib 2.80. linuxdeploy bundles that GLib into the AppImage, so the TTS issue is no longer applicable.
On systems with a newer system GLib (e.g. Arch Linux), the preload causes a version mismatch between the system GLib and the bundled GObject/GStreamer, resulting in a segfault on pipeline startup.
I also noticed that a similar symbol check exists in AppRun for the GIO module compatibility checking. This is also outdated as it checks against a symbol added in GIO 2.76, meanwhile the Appimage provides GIO 2.80. For now I kept the existing GIO logic to avoid breaking anything else. However I have added a WARNING comment there.
For now I would suggest merging this change to fix daily build compatibility fast, then coming back and fixing any other stale logic in a separate PR.
