How to resolve the image loading issue while changing the profile picture in Linux deployed Bold BI application?

​In the Linux deployed Bold BI application, if you face an image loading issue like the one below while changing the profile picture, follow the below-mentioned instruction to resolve it.

 

How to resolve ​

Ensure the "​libgdiplus​" package is installed on your machine to process the image.

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus

Why libgdiplus package is required

Libgdiplus is a library that provides a GDI+ compatible API on non-Windows operating systems, including Linux. GDI+ is a graphics device interface (GDI) library introduced by Microsoft and is used in Windows to render graphics and images.

Many applications originally developed for Windows that use GDI+ to render graphics and images may not work properly on Linux without libgdiplus, as they depend on GDI+ to work correctly. Libgdiplus implements the GDI+ API for Linux, allowing such applications to run on Linux.

Therefore, if you are running the Bold BI application on Linux, you must install libgdiplus to ensure that the application works properly.
