We're having a bit of a miscommunication, I'm afraid.
I would like to get Scrivener for Linux to run on Ubuntu Studio.
So I'm interested in finding out how to properly install Scrivener for
Linux on Ubuntu Studio.
Can that happen?
Thanks again.
Smiles.

Thanks for the response, Mike.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS runs the beta version of Scrivener for Linux.
The latest version of Ubuntu Studio (55 updates yesterday, with a
new low-latency kernel) does not.
Is that version of Ubuntu Studio Ubuntu 13.10?
I don't know.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckingYourUbuntuVersion is how to
tell what version you are running.
When I installed it, it said it was 12.04.
when what installed, what said what? the application stated it was for
12.04? that is likely, and can cause the issue where the version is
created for 12.04, and also is a beta version, and may only have
support for 12.04. you will need to ask them for support for the
operating system you are using, or use the supported operating system
that they list. ubuntustudio is not doing anything to prevent the
application from running on it. the creators will make a version that
can run on 13.10, *if* thats what you are using.
The Scrivener version in 12.04 LTS is quite stable, better than
any MS beta I ever tried, stable enough to trust it with my work.
I simply can't get it to run in Ubuntu Studio, or even to install
correctly.
it seems you simply cant get it to run in 13.10, since you stated it
*did* work in 12.04, correct? ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.
I know what you're talking about - starting from the terminal,
manipulating .config files, and users/home - and I'll try to run
the app as a different user, and, if that works, I'll try the
other stuff you recommend.
No, I've not reported it to Scrivener support, but I will.
they will ideally be the party responsible for support, since its not
an app that is in the ubuntu repositories, and its beta.
Again, thanks for your response.
thank you!.. i would just refer to the documentation they provide and
see what you need to do to run and install the beta version on 13.10,
assuming they have made it possible to run the application on 13.10,
and you are indeed using 13.10.. cheers!

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.
ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. you mean, ubuntu 12.04 LTS runs the
beta version of scrivener? and ubuntu 13.10 doesnt? ask them for
an update for 13.10. you can start the application from the
terminal and see if there is any helpful output there, or try
looking for and moving/removing any .config files for the
application in your users /home (or, try the application as a
different user if that is simpler for you). do they have a stable
version you can try? have you reported to the scrivener support?
cheers.
