1.2.5 Scrivener for Linux RELEASED

glaedr · August 2, 2012, 6:26pm

Not sure who that was directed at but just in case : If I click on the regular icon, I get the little bouncing icon for a couple of seconds, then it vanishes and nothing else happens. I’m also not using Kubuntu. I’m using OpenSuse 11.4 and KDE, if that’s any help.

digulla · August 2, 2012, 6:28pm

I’m on openSUSE 12.1 x64 and I could install and run Scrivener without many problems. The error message which you get says: Scrivener wants loads Qt 4.7.1 and then another library which requires Qt 4.8.0.

What do you get when you run

rpm -qi libqt4

What’s in that dmp file that you get?

Regards,

Aaron

I know it’s possible to run it on this laptop with 11.4 and KDE because I did it before on my old faulty harddrive before it died.

Running directly Scrivener causes it to abort in the same manner when I try to open a project (cd /usr/share/scrivener/bin/; ./Scrivener | /usr/share/scrivener/bin/Scrivener).

digulla · August 3, 2012, 7:28pm

I tried to find a simple way to list the Qt version of a library but came up empty. But maybe we can still limit the search a bit. Run this script in the bin folder:

for f in $(ldd Scrivener | sed -e 's:^.*=>[ \t]*::' -e 's: *[(].*::') ; do readlink -f "$f" ; done|sort

It will print a list of libraries that Scrivener will load. Here is my list (openSUSE 12.1):

Compare the list with someone who uses openSUSE 11.4 and where Scrivener works.

Mine’s worked. Qt libraries are pointing to the Scrivener Qt libraries. (Slackware 13.37, KDE here.)

cellfourteen · August 4, 2012, 11:28am

This could be a fix for some people, so I may as well report it (by the way, I started digging after upgrading to the new KDE 4.9).

Regarding

me@netbook:~$ /usr/bin/Scrivener Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40801) with this library (version 0x40800) Aborted (core dumped)

I started Scrivener via double click as usual. Then I ran two or three lsof | grep Scrivener variants such as:

The first command showed that Scrivener is using libQtDBus.so.4.8.1. The third command showed that Scrivener uses libkdecore.so.5.9.0 and libkdeui.so.5.9.0.

Downloading, placing, and appropriately soft-linking libQtDBus.so.4.8.0 and libkdecore.so.5.8.0 in /usr/share/scrivener/lib didn’t do the trick.

After I did the same with libkdeui.so.5.8.0, Scrivener no longer aborts and opens projects from within the program as expected.

There was a similar issue when trying to import an image via drag and drop which is also resolved.

These are the new files in /usr/share/scrivener/lib that I have now (it is possible that you do not need all of them, I am just showing what I did to make it work):

libkdecore.so -> ./libkdecore.so.5.8.0 libkdecore.so.5 -> ./libkdecore.so.5.8.0 libkdecore.so.5.8 -> ./libkdecore.so.5.8.0 libkdecore.so.5.8.0 libkdeui.so -> ./libkdeui.so.5.8.0 libkdeui.so.5 -> ./libkdeui.so.5.8.0 libkdeui.so.5.8 -> ./libkdeui.so.5.8.0 libkdeui.so.5.8.0 libQtDBus.so -> ./libQtDBus.so.4.8.0 libQtDBus.so.4 -> ./libQtDBus.so.4.8.0 libQtDBus.so.4.8 -> ./libQtDBus.so.4.8.0 libQtDBus.so.4.8.0

cellfourteen · August 6, 2012, 10:14am

glaedr, would you be so kind to run the following commands and post the results?

First, trace out what’s happening when you run Scrivener:

strace -f -o ~/sscriv.out /usr/share/scrivener/bin/Scrivener

Then, filter sscriv.out to these possible offenders (mind the case in “grep libQt”):

cat ~/sscriv.out | grep libQt > ~/sscriv_libqt.out

and

cat ~/sscriv.out | grep libkde > ~/sscriv_libkde.out

Find sscriv_libqt.out and sscriv_libkde.out in your home directory and paste here their contents (it’s ok if you don’t have any results in sscriv_libkde.out).

glaedr · August 7, 2012, 12:02am

Thanks for all your help.

…Displays:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40701) with this library (version 0x40800) Aborted

and

…Give me no output in terminal when entered. But sscriv_libqt.out displays:

and sscriv_libkde.out is:

sscriv.out shows an awful lot of ‘No such file or directory’ entries too. These files must be available somewhere since other OpenSuse users have Scrivener working perfectly but Yast just can’t find them. I don’t recall seeing any error messages when installing either version, either. I’ve also just realised that Yast lists Scrivener with the version number in red.

pearlbear · August 8, 2012, 3:23am

I had a similar problem - rtf reader errors, but then I closed and restarted it, and it was fine.

Ubuntu 12.04/Xfce

sub_acoustic · August 10, 2012, 1:41pm

Ah, all this is a bit over my head. The last version installed fine for me, though now I’m using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 precise 64-bit

This is what I’ve tried and I’m not sure what to do next or how to sort out the missing libraries…

Any advice appreciated!

okay,
so all I needed to do was

works great! Thanks!

dsubnet0 · August 11, 2012, 2:55pm

@sub_acoustic, I’m getting the same errors but ia32-libs was not sufficient to make them go away in my case. What version of that library are you using?

glaedr · August 15, 2012, 11:11am

OpenSuse can’t find that package either. I did a search in Yast for the lost packages again ticking the “provides” option and managed to find some of them. But Scrivener still won’t open.

MightyWok · August 16, 2012, 7:15am

Installing ia32-libs in Ubuntu 12.04 was the only dependency I had to resolve. Scrivener 1.2.5 is working great for me.

joebolin · August 16, 2012, 6:07pm

For those receiving the error similar to the following, I created a quick script for the tar package. Just drop it in the provided “bin” folder after unpacking the archive and “chmod +x” the script. Then you should be able to run the script instead of the binary without losing the settings for the current session.
