Bug Description

I recently upgraded my AppFlowy from 0.5.8 to 0.5.9, using the AppFlowy-0.5.9-linux-x86_64.deb file published in Releases.

When I attempted to open the application from the desktop, nothing happened.

I then attempted to launch the app through the CLI, and received the following error:

AppFlowy: error while loading shared libraries: libmpv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems 0.5.9 has a new dependency on libmpv1 package.

I installed the package through apt:

sudo apt install libmpv1

I then was able to launch AppFlowy without problem.

How to Reproduce

From the CLI:

sudo dpkg -i AppFlowy-0.5.9-linux-x86_64.deb

AppFlowy

Expected Behavior

Application launches without issue, because the .deb installation also installs any new dependencies currently unavailable on the system.

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04; 6.5.0-35-generic

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.5.9

Screenshots

No response

There are too many bugs with this version (0.5.9) 🤕

The GUI glitches or goes black randomly.
I cannot use the GUI-based (AppFlowy.desktop) launcher--the app is black.
I can launch it through the terminal, but still views bug out and flicker black.

I clean installed 0.5.8.
Had to recover/import the backed-up data dir for AppFlowy, reorganize my workspace from the nested appflowy_import_*. The recovery process itself "failed" many times because I suppose I selected the incorrect level of directory hierarchy for what AppFlowy needed.
