I just reinstalled Scrivener on my Ubuntu box and tried to write a tutorial on the steps. It might help.
kidshideaway.net/scrivener-works-under-ubuntu-19
I’m coping with the instructions from the page here, but I’m not sure how well it will look.
Add the sources to the apt config.
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.listUse the editor of your choice, I use vi, not that is a protected file so you must use sudo.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ pool main universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main universe multiverse
Then run the apt command to install the packages.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install multiarch-support*
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gst* libgstreamer-plugins-base0* libgstreamer0*
If you are still getting errors about adding packages try this:
sudo apt-get install libgthread* libglib* libgobject* libgbase* libgmodule* libvisual*If your getting png errors then try the easy way, and restest, if that doesn’t work see below instructions for compiling the module on your install so it will be compatible.
sudo apt-get install libpng12*
