Hi, Everybody,
The beta version of Scrivener for Linux installs and works nicely on
12.04 LTS, (using the beta.deb link at
http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25201&sid=a04b018ca9447c27659ed92fc6f5dae0
- the other link didn't work for me) but won't install on Ubuntu Studio
so it works. It's there in the Office menu but when I click on it,
nothing happens. The structural elegance of US is lost (although I have
no complaint about 12.04 LTS) when I switch boxes (and lose my gajillion
dollar view of the Texas Hill Country, which is still breathtaking three
years into living/working in this cabin - staring out the window is,
more often than not, a religious experience) for fiction writing.
Is there a way to install Scrivener so it works in US? I have Jutoh on
US, working fine, but I think it was written in Linux code (so USC
installs it), and Scrivener for Linux is the Windows version ported to
Linux, but Scrivener started out being a Mac app. OSX code is, I've
heard, coded in a version of Unix. It seems like it ought to work.
So far, I'm a non-CLI user (although I have a few books about learning
it - it's kind of like DOS [in which I felt competent] was before MS got
their GUI to the point where they'd inflict it on the computer using
public for final testing, (to me), only there's a lot more to learn in
Linux to be functional in it) unless I have the code to type into the
CLI, and I do very little of that, almost none. Statistically, it is none.
Scrivener suits me more than Jutoh, which is a wonderful tool for
writing nonfiction books and converting them into ebooks, but the
Scrivener GUI, I guess, has been around a long time. Somehow, I think
about fiction writing instead of the app while working in Scrivener. I
get into flow and stay there for hours, doing the hard work that I love.
I'd appreciate some help. Or insight. Or code. Thanks.
Smiles.
Tommy Tolson
