ferdium-app: Ferdium won't launch after upgrading Ubuntu to 24.04 (using AppImage)

Your issue

Ferdium is not opening anymore after upgrading ubuntu from 23.10 to the unreleased 24.04.

This is what I get. Even the help to get ferdium info is not available anymore.

However this is the AppImage I am using.

Ferdium-linux-Portable-6.7.3-nightly.11-x86_64_4a1b12d6d452e18c9051545269e61317.AppImage

Launching it from the command line, this is the message I got.

➜ ./Ferdium-linux-Portable-6.7.3-nightly.11-x86_64_4a1b12d6d452e18c9051545269e61317.AppImage

Crossreferencing https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/10332 and https://github.com/logseq/logseq/issues/11240 here which seem to be suffering from the same issue.

It might also be related to https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/issues/1535 ?

I am not using Ubuntu 24.04 yet (probably not gonna upgrade for a month still), so it would be highly appreciated to be debugged by the community 😃
