  • I mean, there is nothing stopping you from installing whatever version of the library that is required in tandem with the latest version. You could even put it somewhere other then a standard library location and start executing your binary with

    LD=/my/old/library ./myoodbinary

    and have it dynamically loaded at runtime.

    The only time this doesn’t work is when it is something in the kernel that breaks the binary… But you can run an older kernel that has back ported fixed.

    I get where you are coming from with proprietary binarys that the devs have abandon. But to me that makes all the more reason not to run that software in the first place.

    Edit: also the kobo desktop Windows app runs under wine I think…








  • First log out of lemmy.world. it’s called remove account…kind of scary but it won’t hurt. Turn close liftoff and go to system settings -> apps. Find liftoff and select storage and cache. In that menu select clear cache. Close the settings menu and go back into liftoff. Choose to add your account again and everything should be fixed… Or at least that fixed it for me.
