Ubuntu Studio is Ubuntu.<br>
I've been working with computers since 1979.<br>
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.<br>
I did install Scrivener on Ubuntu Studio, but when I clicked on
it, nothing happened.<br>
I thought I didn't get it installed right.<br>
I Google "Scrivener for Linux" and it takes me to a "Free Trial
Scrivener" link that takes me to the free download page at
<a href="http://teaandlatte.com">teaandlatte.com</a> . 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.<br>
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.<br>
It IS production quality, once it opens. I don't know why
they're not selling it yet.<br>
There's a manual, but I haven't asked on that forum.<br>
If I can make Calligra Author work, Scrivener is no longer an
issue.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>

Smiles.<br>

<div>you also seem to be hung up on a fact. ubuntustudio
*is* ubuntu so.. if you can install it into ubuntu, you
*can* install it into ubuntustudio. the issue you are
having could be the 64bit/32bit issue above.. could be you
are using different releases, 13.10 vs 12.04 for example..
i was going to go and download and install and test and
make scrivener work, but i dont see a linux version where
search.. where are you getting what version exactly? i
will try something for you in ubuntu if you share what
exactly im supposed to try. i only see referenced a linux
beta version, where i would expect, since its beta, to
have issues such as you mention. is that the case? are you
running beta software and expecting production release
quality? have you asked them for support since it seems to
be a commercial product that you pay for? ubuntustudio,
linux, nor main ubuntu is not doing anything to prevent
you or the scrivener team from making scrivener work on
ubuntustudio. let me know where to get the installer, and
i will make it run, and share my experiences...</div>

We're having a bit of a miscommunication, I'm

install Scrivener for <br>
Linux on Ubuntu Studio. Can that happen?
Thanks again. <br>

Ok, so after reading some more of the
conversation at the Scrivener <br>
forum it suggested there are some issues with
QT and 64 vs 32 bit. <br>
I could not get it to run in my Ubuntu Studio
14.04 64-bit, however <br>
when running the installation on my Ubuntu
Studio 14.04 32-bit it <br>
runs just fine. <br>
<br>
I suppose you have a 64 bit installation of
Ubuntu Studio? <br>

Calligra Author is my goal, now, in Calligra

Switching from Gnome to KDE was more involved

Since you're trying to run 32-bit software on a
64-bit machine, the problem may be that you don't
have the 32-bit libraries that Scrivener needs.
Does it indicate its dependencies? In any case,
you might try installing package "ia32-libs" from
the repository; it contains many of the most
commonly used 32-bit libraries. <br>
