Linux 1.9.01 Beta Released

I can’t get it to work on Linux Mint 20.

I downloaded the latest deb and I can’t get it to work for the life of me – I click on the application in my start menu and it does nothing. I tinkered around with installing some of the things listed in previous replies and I can’t seem to get it to work. Is anyone else using Mint?

Hi, I use Scrivener every day on Linux Mint 20, and have done so on every version of Mint going back the better part of a decade. Scrivener for Linux kicks ass, but dealing with old .deb’s leads to much pain and sorrow due to “dependency hell”.

Good news for us Linux heads though: A while back, i upgraded to Mint 20.1, and of course set about reinstalling Scrivener. To my great joy, I found a wonderful human being over at WayOfLinux has created an “appimage” file which makes it vastly easier get Scrivener working. (If not familiar, “appimage” packages contain their own dependencies, so they can seamlessly run on any Linux distribution under the sun, provided appimages are supported, which with Mint and virtually all distros, has been true for years.)

Go DuckDuckGo with the keywords “scrivener appimage” and locate the WayOfLinux web page. Scroll half way down and download the appropriate version.

Decompress the archive and place the “.appimage” file in a cozy home folder location for safekeeping. (Doesn’t matter where, but it’s less messy if you don’t move the appimage file after you run it.)

Double click the appimage file. When asked something about integrating with the desktop, click okay, and it will set up a launcher menu shortcut.

Voila, bingo. Scrivener runs.

Lastly, because i don’t work with XML files, I right clicked one of my “.scrivx” files and told it to always use scrivener, and now i just double click them to launch.
4.1 (If you actually do other things with XML files on the regular, you’ll have to manually manage when to use Scrivener and when not to.)

The only quirk i notice is that after writing for 3 or 4 hours, the program gets sluggish, so i need to restart it. I’m in the habit of just closing it before i stand up for a break. That saves all edits and lets my cloud backup do its sync business. Then with fresh coffee, i double click my .scrivx file and continue. User interface stays snappy, i just make the bug into a part of my rhythm.

I do wish Lit and Late would take my Linux money. I’d click a donate link or add them to my patreon, but they don’t have either. But until then, the appimage file makes version 1.9 essentially eternal.

Good luck and happy Linux Scrivenering!
(If that isn’t a verb it should be.)

You’re my hero – this worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
