Do you have libpng12? You donāt need the full version, and you can compile it yourself. Once compiled, copy the libpng12.* files to Scrivener/lib/ Modern implementations of libpng arenāt compatible with the one Scrivener needs. (And it wasnāt statically compiled in, since it was one of those everyone had.)
Oh, so THANK YOU !
I didnāt have libpng12 installed.
Right now, it runs !
So thank you !
My very very best
No problem! 
Brace yourselves for some good news. AppImages coming soon. 
Linux is my OS. My writing partners are using Windows and the latest Scrivener. We have no way to exchange projects until Scrivener can Save asā¦ Scrivener LInux 1.9.01 Beta compatible.
I saw your cross-post in:
and put in my 1/2p there.

Hrm. I wonder if thereās a way to script a conversion between projects? That is, make a script thatāll convert 3.0 to 1.9.7, and then 1.9.7 to 3.0?
There probably IS a way. However, itās probably a lot more work than itās worth. Scrivenerās format is not trivial, even though it is comprised of simple elements, and there are likely a lot of edge cases that will bite script writers in the proverbial buttcheeks.
But the request isnāt for 3.x to 1.9.7, itās for 3.x to 1.9.01, which is a whole new level of complication.
Yeah, I realize that, now. I was mistakenly thinking that Linux Scrivener used the same file format as Windows 1.X, which changed. So even a āsave as 1.9ā option in Scrivener 3 wouldnāt help much.
What do you mean ?
Running this version of Scrivener in Linux Mint on 18.3, the program is running but not loading files and settings. Anyone else having problems?
Bump - anyone able to reply to my problem?
Well - fixed it myself in the end. I must have changed a file association some where, the fix was to hit F12 and click the reset button in the options to panel, all files are now opening up as before.
RESULT!!!
For anyone who wants to run this on Ubuntu 18.04, unfortunately the dependencies libpng12 and gstreamer-0.10 are not in the repositories anymore. You can either compile them yourself or install from these sources:
[code]wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-1_amd64.deb
wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstreamer0.10/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer*.deb[/code]
Iām using Ubuntu 18.04 and when I am writing a screenplay the font keeps switching on me every time I press enter. Is this a setting? I select all and choose Courier New but then it always switches back to Dejavu Sans Mono when I hit enter. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks for this tip. Iām trying out Linux Mint 19, which is based on Ubuntu 18.04, and found this worked for me with no difficulty.
Have used Scrivener on and off for Windows for a long time, but just come across this version. Thanks for all the hard work, I mainly work on linux at work now and this is going to save me so much time!
This version is working on my Pixelbook, without Crouton. Needed to track down a few libraries, but is loading great, and syncing to Google Drive via command line.
So I have Parrot Sec OS installed on my computer and I downloaded the 1.9 release, and for some reason, i canāt seem to get it to work. I ran the .deb. and even downloaded the tar file for the 64-bit and the 32-bit, but iām getting no results. Is there a way to run this program?
Nevermind, got it to work!
