KickMeElmo Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 So I finally got around to building a separate version of mono just for escribe, and I can confirm it works fine. For anyone else in the same boat who can't afford to downgrade system mono, start here and install mono-5.18.1.0 and gtk-sharp-2.12.45. Other versions of GTK sharp would undoubtedly work, but that's what I installed and it works fine. Then edit ~/.local/opt/evolv/escribe-suite/launch-escribe-suite and change "exec mono" to wherever your newly installed secondary mono is. Assuming you just used /opt/mono as a prefix, it'd be "exec /opt/mono/bin/mono". Thanks to blueridgedog for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandex Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 so many things to install and maintain.. and a couple of failures and retries. should've been easier if we get guest shell environment or local api to change parameters. just my 2 cents.

Coyote Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) By far the easiest way to run Escribe on Linux is to use a Windows 10 VM. I gave up trying to get the Mac or Linux versions working. Virtualbox is free and available in the Ubuntu repo, among others. You'll need is the extension pack for USB passthrough support... that's also free (just not open source) Windows 10 is technically not free, but MS provides the ISO for free and you don't really need to purchase a license or activate it. You just can't change the wallpaper unless you do. 😂 Virtualbox USB passthrough of the DNA to the VM works perfectly. I've tried it on Mac and Linux, USB 2.0 and 3.x ports.

KickMeElmo Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. While a Windows VM works, it's also inviting a pile of headaches. Do what you find best for you, but you couldn't pay me to use that solution. For the average user, the easiest solution is likely downgrading system mono to a working version and holding the package. For the power user, a secondary mono installation shouldn't be that difficult to set up, and requires zero maintenance once set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podunk Steam Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I should have came back and mentioned the computer I was trying to install on had some issues. Linux Mint Cinnamon on another computer practically installed itself, incorporated the system theme as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - this worked for me - no need to do the other things in the "start here" link, building these two packages is enough to make escribe work again on Xubuntu 20.4 without interfering with anything else that may be using newer mono. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 This test version fixes the USB HID issue, but it's also based off a slightly newer, intermediate version. So, there are a few bugs. Still, if you're interested, give it a try. https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_2020-06-22_US_test.run https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_2020-06-22_INT_test.run 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding aarch* to the case statement on line 643 would potentially fix the issue but I am receiving an error about the archive file having an incorrect checksum.

The original did not. I have no web access though escribe and the way the program interpreted my system theme has left it hardly legible . All in all, great work! P.S. Any way that I can fix these two issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 By no web access, do you mean when you click Get Information, or elsewhere? As for legibility, would you please take a screenshot? What theme is it / how would I configure my system to reproduce your setup?

pfanni Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 @JamesThank you for supporting linux. For me, running Linux Mint 20 it was no problem to install and run this program. Most things seam to work for me. But i have the same problem as @vGeno (Error: "Unable to launch web browser."). You mentioned a SP24 in your post, where can i download this version, i only found V2.0 SP22. Thx Ernst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Out of curiosity, if you get "Unable to launch web browser", if you enter this at a command line: xdg-open "https://www.evolvapor.com" What do you get? Wondering if your computer may not have a default browser set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podunk Steam Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I've just updated a Linux laptop with 20.1 Mint Cinnamon and installed Escribe. I've done previous installs of Escribe that have taken on my computers theme, I'm a dark theme type, this time my computers theme was not adopted by Escribe. Am I asking for trouble trying to incorporate my computers theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5K1M0 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I would like to get Escribe working on an Rpi 4 but based on the information in this thread it seems like its going to be more of a project than I thought. Any recommendations on which distro to start with that will play reasonably well with both with the Pi & EScribe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
