[ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 81, Issue 13

[VenuG]

Open a terminal and type sudo scrivener. It works with my ubuntu 13.10 installation. Command line interface is not difficult. Try to learn command by command each day. Man command will give all details of how to use a command. I am using Linux from 1996 on wards and I have no difficulty in using command line. I do often use this to find a file generally by find command. Rarely I use grep to find a word inside a file. And may many more commands I use regularly. By constant use one becomes familiar. There is man and info avaialble to help with commands. Or one can use google for much more details.
Regards
vg

I knew that going in, Mike.
Ubuntu Studio is Ubuntu.
I've been working with computers since 1979.
But I have resistance to learning the CLI, so I'm about to have another 
box ready to go, and I'll install Ubuntu Server on it as I think Ubuntu 
Server is all CLI.
I did install Scrivener on Ubuntu Studio, but when I clicked on it, 
nothing happened.
I thought I didn't get it installed right.
I Google "Scrivener for Linux" and it takes me to a "Free Trial 
Scrivener" link that takes me to the free download page at 
teaandlatte.com .  Down the page about 2/3 of the way and you see a link 
that takes you to a forum entry, at the top of the page that shows up 
from clicking that link, and there are two files to choose to download, 
a debi and a tar.  I got the debi because debi package manager is easier 
for me than going to the CLI.  It installed, and gave me a place to 
click on it, but nothing happened after I clicked on it.  After enough 
frustration, I asked on this forum.
I'm not sure why it's still a beta, as it works fine; I've not had a 
stability problem with it - once it's open.  I think it's a business 
issue, not a technical issue.  The app runs perfect on my 12.04 LTS box.
It IS production quality, once it opens.  I don't know why they're not 
selling it yet.
There's a manual, but I haven't asked on that forum.
If I can make Calligra Author work, Scrivener is no longer an issue.
So I took off Gnome on my 12.04 LTS machine and put on KDE, and the next 
thing is to get Calligra 2.8 (another beta) on that box.  Then I'll get 
it configured and I'm a happy camper, for the long haul.
But Scrivener is a sweet app where it works, and I'll still try to get 
it on my Ubuntu Studio box.  It's a great place to free-write.
I'm betting that my problem is not having the right 32-bit libraries.  
I'll give it another go and report back.  Thanks for being willing to 
download it and apply your expertise.

Smiles.
Tommy
