Unfortunately, rgibert has made unofficial ppas for 0.6.0 for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 only, although there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I have used his ppa for Sigil 0.5.3 with Kubuntu 11.04 and it installed and ran very well. There is no pre-compiled version of Sigil 0.6.0 specifically for Ubuntu 11.10, nor will there ever be another official Linux installer version of Sigil. Linux users will have to learn to compile from the sources. It turns out to be fairly easy, but takes maybe 15 minutes to compile and link. I actually prefer this way now.

I've installed the repository, but being a very new user of Linux, I now have no idea how to use it! I note that Richard's package for 0.6.0 appears to be aimed at Quantal (Ubuntu 12.10?). I presume this explains why opening a downloaded sigil_0.6.0-0rg0~quantal0_i386.deb from nautilus gives an error: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libqtcore4(>=4.4.8.0)" If this is a correct way to install the product, does this mean an OS upgrade? I had intended to go to Precise (Ubuntu 12.4) so that I could use the LTS version for an extended time. Would this work, or would I have to go to 12.10 or later? The Windoze v0.6.0 works great, but I'd like to use a proper OS!! Can you (or anyone else) help, please? |

You use the package manager to get the actual product installed. Use the search facility to find "Sigil" and then set it for an install. However, if you are on 11.10 the version of Qt probably won't be current enough. Both 12.04 and 12.10 are both solid versions of K/Ubuntu. Going to one of them would probably be the best choice. I believe it is either that or go back to Sigil 0.5.3 and that's a huge backward step if use Sigil a lot.

Note that not all releases have the latest Sigil available (see the version list) Be sure to refresh your source list after doing the correction. |

I have an XP computer that works fine with hundreds of software releases, from Dos WordStar onward to Sigil 5.3. I thought it might be helpful for the developers to know that 6.0 doesn't work, though with each iteration it has worked just a bit better than the time before. Moving to a new computer is really more of a task than raising one's finger! But don't fret. I will stop reporting the failures, unless you bake a new version. |

O P
There are many of those DOS programs that do not FULLY work under XP, Including Wordstar (Try using a serial port printer with WS5) I have a Paradox DOS Inventory/POS application that I wrote a long time ago that shelled out to DOS to do tasks that PDOX could not do, Used serial printers (as well as all 3 LPT, for dedicated paper/forms). The last OS it fully work on was W98SE. While I am not a fan of the current 'Touch Screen' way of doing things, I don't expect programs like Sigil and Calibre to not support those because they "have to" maintain backwards compatibility with an OS over 5 years old |

Unity is not an issue for Kubuntu users, which uses KDE. Unity is just not installed! Ubuntu and Unity use Gnome. You'd have to be a real masochist to try to fully install Gnome on Kubuntu, or KDE on Ubuntu. As Kovid Gopal said on the Calibre forum, KDE users had their times of trial some time ago when KDE 4.0 first came out. All that's been straightened out now.

Thanks for straightening that out signum. I use Kubuntu and it is very stable and easy to use in both 12.04 and 12.10. I just didn't know how to state the situation as clearly as you did.

It is possible that Oldpilot's problems may come from not what is in Program Files, but AppData. What was there certainly caused many bizarre problems for me when trying the new beta.

That's pretty clear. I would be delighted to learn how to compile from the sources, but am starting from such a low knowledge level (about Ubuntu, lots of experience with DOS, all versions WIndows, Novell etc) that I don't know where to begin.
I realise that this may not be the right forum to ask about OS related issues, but perhaps you could offer some pointers to how to go about it? |

Of course Kubuntu doesn't use Unity. I figured everyone would know I was referring to the Ubuntu part of "K/Ubuntu": Quote:
