Linux EScribe Suite Beta Thread

[immelman]

Any hints on how to launch the application on archlinux? I tried both the AUR package and many different SPs.

Thanks

Hello immelman,

So for installations I have done in a VM, in Manjaro Escribe gets installed to /home/user/.local/opt/evolv/escribe-suite - you "should" be able to run launch-escribe-suite.

If you are asking about running SetupEScribe2_2020-06-22_US_test.run chmod the file to your user and execute it:

./SetupEScribe2_2020-06-22_US_test.run

Nello AmadVaper. According to everybody is just suppose to launch after installato but this is not happening. When I have time I will reinstall arch (5 Years now. XD)

[James]

I've posted a newer installer up. Let me know how it works for you! Enjoy

Make sure you read the 1st post regardless the "requirement" (package need to be installed = Mono, ca-certificates, gtk2 & gtk-sharp-2) before install this package...

You can run/launch this suite via "Start/Application Menu --> All Applications --> EScribe Suite or alt + F2 and type escribe

Ps: I'm running this Application suite on Manjaro Arch (KDE) without any issue...

 

[immelman]

Yeah, I figure most of the people out there are using it without any issue, I think I really need to just clean install archlinux. Something is not OK...

It doesn't automatically launch after install. It should put itself into your launcher menu's "Other" category.

Since @immelman at least *was* using the AUR package at some point, in addition to that, it also installs as /usr/bin/escribe-suite if you want to launch from console, but both ways work, Launcher in the Application menu as well as launching through commandline.

Oh interesting. @immelman: What permissions do you have for /home/(username)/.local/opt/evolv/escribe-suite? Is it owned by root, by any chance? (It should not be.)

[immelman]

Yeah guys I think I am having issue with my system that are not related to escribe. I'll reinstall arch andò 99.99% it will be fixed

I've posted up EScribe Suite SP47 for Linux. Most of its changes are for the DNA Cricket, but there are some other minor improvements as well.

Hi James...

Thank you for the update...apparently the latest beta broke "device monitor" on my DNA60 but work just fine with my DNA250C...The previous version SP45 worked on both device tho...btw I'm on Linux Manjaro Arch KDE

 

Anyway...any chance you can do something bout this...firmware/software ?

 

[dwcraig1]

I had the same problem with the Windows version on my DNA60. James fixed it right away, try downloading and installing again.

[storm119]

Noted...will try to re-download again later today and hoping/waiting James will response to this issue...

 

Thank you!

[storm119]

Update:

Re-download & re-install again...this time it's work like a charm!

 

Thank you!

[AmadVaper]

No issues at all here. Applied update all working normally for my 3 dna250c mods.

I think the download links are broken:

@Magigamix: Try now. I had found a bug in SP50 and took it down while I fixed it. It is up again now.

regarding installing themes;

i saw this on the first post:

"EScribe Suite does not register file associations yet, so you can't install themes directly by double clicking a theme file. "

and indeed when i browse to the folder where the downloaded theme is(through Escribe/"Load theme"),nothing appears,it's blank/the xml file is not recognized.

so is there another way to install a theme,or is it only able to create your own one in Escribe?

In order to Escribe to recognize a theme (either by opening with "Escribe -> Theme -> Load Theme..." or with the Theme Designer) the xml file (ECigTheme.xml) should be zip compressed and with the .ecigtheme extensión:

Checking in to see if anyone has installed on Linux Mint LMDE 5 yet? I haven't even test driven it yet. 

My old desk top is now my entertainment center server temporarily and Evolv Escribe might be a nice option.

Sep. 2008 built HP Pavilion Dual Core Pentium E2200 boasting a whole 3GB DDR2 RAM, same old 500GB HHD. Yes, if it were butterfly inter-netting they'd all get away!

No, I've not tested the suite in Linux Mint 🙁, I use Ubuntu 22.04 and it works fine, it should work in Mint without problems as it is a derivative distro of Ubuntu.

Thank you for the reply!

LMDE 5 is different as it's Linux Mint "Debian Edition" where most or all Linux Mint distros are Ubuntu based.

I've been using Escribe on Linux Mint Ubuntu versions for quite a while. Ubuntu is getting a bit bloated for older slower system and Debian is generally very stable and fairly light weight is my reason for the interest. 

I have read of the new Debian installer thanks to @James again which I may have to make a run at once my RAM and SSD arrive. Yep me buying DDR2 in 2023, go figure! LOL!
