How do I get Sigil 0.9.8 in Xubuntu?
I've got Sigil 0.9.5 now. How do I get 0.9.8? If memory serves me, DiapDealer had a link to get Linux versions (and Xubuntu is a distro of Ubuntu) but I could not find it. Thanks.

I didn't package my own version of 0.9.5, that I recall. Verson 0.9.8 was the first stand-alone Linux installer package I released. If you have v0.9.5 you must have installed it from Xubuntu's standard software repos (unless you think you compiled it yourself). Should be easy to determine.
From a terminal, let me know what the result of the following command is: dpkg -l sigil (that's a lower-case 'L' in case it's unclear) |

Yep. That's from the standard repos. Just use (from a terminal):
Code:
sudo apt-get install sigil NOTE: the "About" dialog for Sigil v0.9.8 from the standard repository will likely indicate that it's v0.9.7. But it really is v0.9.8. We just didn't have the version strings updated when v0.9.8 was tagged for release. |

I ran your command and this is what came up: Code:

Hmmm. If they were able to provide v0.9.5, then I just assumed they'd be delivering v0.9.8 by now. There's no logistic or dependency reasons why they couldn't after all. They must just be that many versions behind. *shrug*
What version of Xubuntu do you have? Using the following in a terminal should tell you: Code:

If it were me, I'd just add Mattia Rizzolo's ppa for Sigil and be done with it. He's the one who packages Sigil for Ubuntu and Debian. He'd be the one who prepared the 0.9.5 version you're using now. He's got a Sigil 0.9.8 package for 16.04.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapreri/sigil sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install sigil Last edited by DiapDealer; 09-09-2017 at 05:54 PM. |

To have a system that you don't have to rely on me (or someone else) to help you update/modify in the future, I would go the ppa route I described above. That way, system package installing/updating procedures will still function normally.
This kind of stuff not being your forte is sort of why I suggested the path I did. We can go the other route, but it will be more involved, and future updates to Sigil won't be integrated into your normal system update procedures. |

https://hastebin.com/lipiwerema.sql I'll do the same on my work computer (where I do most of the work in Sigil) tomorrow. One question I have is that I have Doitsu's Language Tool 0.4 plugin on the home computer but it's not on the work computer. Do you know what that plugin does? Thanks again! I really appreciate it! |
