Could you give me the exact version of Manjaro you're running. I just got back from my trip and I'd like to setup a VM to do some tests.
You talked about a script, is that the script posted just below the downloads (here, scroll down to the second yellow notification box)?

The KDE version I installed is from the below. Download from there and you will get the same ISO I installed from cause the last ISO update was 06062020.Ā  What I said in my previpous post is that in the past I simple download RMTV, extracted it, moved that folder to /home/alienprober/Shuttles/Downloads/Monitors - Sound - Videos and then place a shortcut to the executable when I wanted it and launched it from that. This not longer works. I have tried the old 2.01, the new 2.10, and the beta 2.11.Ā

Alright, we're getting somewhere - I've been putzing with this all afternoon now 😊Ā 

So I installed the KDE version of Manjaro as a Virtual Machine, and have to admit that I love how light and fast it feels.

Next I downloaded the "static" version from Tweaking4All, extracted it and ... could reproduce your issue right away.

Strange thing though:
Mint, Clear Linux, and MX Linux run the application just fine, and identify the executable correctly as an 64 bits (using "file") ELF binary (using "readelf -a"). Manjaro does not even see it as an executable (or ELF binary), and reports it to be "data".Ā 

Next step was to update Manjaro (500+ updates) - I originally wanted to stay as close as possible to a clean install so that's why I waited with doing the update.Ā 

After the update Manjaro sees RenameMyTVSeries correctly as an executable like the other distroes did. However double clicking it does nothing.
Starting it from Konsole, I get the error that at least one lib is missing:

./RenameMyTVSeries: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Ā 

Being a total NOOB when it comes to "pacman" and "Manjaro", I had to do quite a bit of searching to finally manage to get it to work after running:

sudo pacman -S gtk2

Just to make sure, I downloaded the "static" version again, and it started right away.

Looking at the GUI, I'm not overly happy, but it works. Maybe this is just what RMTV always looked like under Linux.

Let me know if this works for you, and if things look "normal" 😊Ā

Hold off on making Manjaro your daily driver. There was a shake up at the top, and then by chance the old forum JUST happened to imploded where they conveniently couldn't recover most of the data. It's quickly turning into a dictatorship in the new forum. I'm about to revisit Garuda which was started because of game playing by the Manjaro devs. I just installed that package, will download a fresh copy of the static like you did and see what I get. Give me a few minutes.Ā

UM before I forget and before I try this can I go back to storing the extracted folder under /home/alienprober/Shuttles/Downloads/Monitors - Sound - Video/ and just put a shortcut to the executable in my Shortcuts folder?

Ā

OK got tooooooo eager to try your suggestion, so went ahead and downloaded the fresh copy of your static version, extracted in torrents where everything gets downloaded to before being used and filed, opened it's folder, clicked it's executable and it launched instantly. Nice job finding a fix. It is truly appreciated. And I answered my other question in regards where I can place it and still have it work. Again thanks ever so much.Ā  And as always great program, and yes to answer your one question it's always looked bulky in Linux, but it does it's job and does it well so no real complaints here about that.

Thanks for the heads up on Manjaro - it would be a shame if potential dictatorship ruins a fine distro. 😞Ā 

During my testing, I extracted the files in my Downloads folder without even paying attention to anything, and it just works.
Just do it the way you used to do, it will work.

Ā 

Note (not required with your old method):

The .desktop file, if you use it, is something you may want to edit the paths in that file - but I doubt you even use it.

These would be the two lines to edit, probably something like this:

Exec=/home/alienprober/Shuttles/Downloads/Monitors - Sound - Video/RenameMyTVSeries/RenameMyTVSeries
Icon=/home/alienprober/Shuttles/Downloads/Monitors - Sound - Video/RenameMyTVSeries/icons/512x512.png

But I'd try first without ... just do what you used to do before.

Haha, I figured this may happen - I myself would do exactly what you did: try it anyway 😊Ā 

Glad to hear it works! 👍Ā  😉Ā

Yea all looks good here. Just moved it to my default location, dragged and linked the executable to My Shortcuts fold and works perfectly. Thanks again. Wish I would remember when a program doesn't work attempt to launch it in Konsole so I can see any error messages. I always forget about that. Probably would of figured it out myself if I would of remembered to do that.

No worries, happens to the best of us (me included).
I'll admit it took me a few times before I realized running it from Konsole would potentially reveal one or the other error.
Maybe the Linux community should start implementing a mechanism to display these error messages in a simple window/dialog? 😉Ā 

Glad to hear things work now, even without me re-compiling and re-uploading a new version. Thanks for confirming! 👍Ā

Yea forcing the programs to popup a error message is one thing that is long overdue. On a side note installed Garuda along side Manjaro and it's come a long ways from when they first said the hell with Manjaro and started their own distro. Out of the gate I damn near got whiplash it's so fast.Ā Ā

Cool! I'll try Garuda as well ... any thoughts on this being from India? (I have no reason to be suspicious, just wondering)

Pretty sure just their servers are just there(cost).Ā  I can't be sure though, but both the founder's sand SGS's English seem to be too good to be from there. They both have been a HUGE help today, and I mean HUGE. If you want to have a look through my post / threads there I'm AlienProber.Ā  Now that said I've almost got Garuda completely setup to my liking. If you do give it a spin and you experience screen flickering which seems to be rare give me a holler in the forums cause there is a quick fix for it. I'm still beside myself on how fast it is.

Ā 

Bit of history. I finally upgrade to a am4 processor and a M.2 SSD. Did a fresh install of Manjaro and expected there to be a night and day difference from the old Samsuge Evo 850 to the M.2 drive, boy was I disappointed. Now Garuda right out of the gate gave me the performance increase I was expecting to see. I almost don't want to boot back into my Manjaro install.
