sigil and linux mint katya problem
Hi!
I've installed Sigil 0.3.4 on Linux Mint Katya as follows: Quote:
But sigil does run if I open the desktop icon as administrator. It seems the script the icon calls (/opt/sigil/sigil.sh ) requires root privileges. Anyone know how to get sigil to run without root privileges? Martin |

Try:
Code:
sudo chgrp -R users /opt/sigil sudo chmod g+x /opt/sigil/sigil /opt/sigil/sigil.sh |

Thanks.
Still the same issue, I'm afraid. Just in case I did something dumb, here's what I did. My username wasn't a member of group 'users', so I added it. Then I ran the two commands you suggested. The file permissions that resulted in are: Quote:

why not execute /opt/sigil/sigil.sh from a terminal, and see what error messages you get?
On my Debian system, installing as root, running as user, everything works as it should without tweaking. |

Hi
After installing the Sigil 0.4 Linux beta version on Debian (LMDE), I can launch Sigil as a plain user using the command: /opt/sigil/sigil.sh either from a launcher in the main menu, from Alt+F2 or from a terminal. I can also open any EPUB directly with Sigil. To obtain it, I added in the Properties box the same personnalized command as given above. Everything working. I installed Sigil on /opt. (total space used 52.8 M) Last edited by roger64; 06-09-2011 at 10:57 AM. |

Ok - I've now got Sigil-0.4.0RC1-Linux-Setup.bin working.
![]() I'm not really sure why it works for v 0.4 but not v 0.3.4! I just repeated the two steps: Quote:
The only other stuff I did was install the Qt 4.7 package in a failed attempt to compile Sigil (the compile didn't work). Anyway, all's well that ends well. And many thanks for your help guys! Martin |
