daily build & ppa issues on Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic)

[jimav]

The Linux AppImage (3.1.1) won't run on Ubuntu 23.10, dying with

ImportError: /tmp/.mount_OpenShy1nBVK/usr/bin/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libharfbuzz.so.0)

Ubuntu 23.10 comes with GLIBC 2.38.

I tried using the ppa, following instructions at https://www.openshot.org/static/files/user-guide/installation.html#linux-ppa :

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/openshot.developers/ppa/ubuntu mantic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
...
$ sudo apt update
Err:9 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/openshot.developers/ppa/ubuntu mantic Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.80 443]

Despite the above, mysteriously, sudo apt install openshot-qt python3-openshot apparently installed openshot 3.1.1-dev but it doesn't look like all the right files came, as there are missing symbols in Python code:

This is a known issue. The workaround for now is to download and run the AppImage.

1. Go to openshot.org/download/#daily and download the latest dev daily build AppImage.
2. Make it executable and run it.

ok, I see now that the images at the top are different even though same version number.
