VictronConnect doesn't work anymore in Ubuntu Linux and just dumps core just after it has been started. Has anyone similar problems?

Hello,
Maybe this can help:

I have no problem in running the latest v6.x versions in Linux Mint 21.2.

Thanks for the hint. VictronConnect needs some libraries which are not installed by default, in my case I needed to install libxcb-cursor0 and libpq5. Now the application starts and runs, however from to time it crashes with segmentation fault.
VictronConnect[62997]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fbbfce0a91a sp 00007ffc1ec24ae0 error 4 in libQt6Core.so.6[7fbbfcd1d000+3bb000]
In my case they are still some unresolved libraries ( libQt6QuickShapes.so.6, libQt6EglFSDeviceIntegration.so.6, libQt6WlShellIntegration.so.6 ). Maybe on newer linuxes with qt6 available it will run without problems.
Anyone got any updates on this? If it doesn't work on Ubuntu I'd be surprised if it's working anywhere else but anyone got the latest appimage working on any other linux distro?
Looks like the VC install should pull these libraries in automatically (see later posts)
Here's how I got the app running on Ubuntu 24.04 (will probably work on 22.04 etc.):
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libpq5 libqt6* chmod +x ./VictronConnect-x86_64-v6.05.AppImage ./VictronConnect-x86_64-v6.05.AppImage
I doubt the vast majority of the libqt6* libraries are actually required, but it's a little hard to identify which are. I would guess the packaging of the AppImage needs sorting out (or the extra packages required should be documented properly).
I only needed to install libxcb-cursor0.
