The recent noises at github actions(CI)

Just in case you are seeing many failures in our automated builds at github.

The trouble was triggered by github changes on deprecating ubunt-20.04, which was used for our Linux AppImage building.

Then, the github action for Qt installation failure:

https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action/issues/281

Facing multiple failures, it took me a while to understand the root causes. Therefore, I contributed more noises with incorrect fixes.

Hopefully, CI will be working stably for us again, but probably with one caveat for Linux AppImage.

Due to some weird Qt issues with ubunt-22.04, I have updated Linux AppImage(x64) to ubuntu-24.04. If you have trouble running the AppImage, please consider running the Snap package instead.

Is there the possibility of building an AppImage for the original Raspberry Pi OS? The current arm AppImage builds do not run on it.

If you mean 32bit ARMv6, it's not trivial because github doesn't provide a 32bit arm runner image

It's probably too slow to run anyway. Better to try 64bit ARMv7 quad-core with more RAM.

I already meant 64 bit Raspbian.
I almost only develop on the Raspian (rpi5, 64bit 12GB RAM).
The problem with the Github Build is that the glib2 does not fit.
 It is new in Ubuntu than in Debian Bookworm.

But I think, there are more people using Raspian than Ubuntu.
I'm using both.

I will give it a try to build arm64 on ubuntu-22.04 (instead of 24.04)
