Installation with Lubuntu 11.10

[buschmann]

Hallo all,

 

I am using scribe with Ubuntu 10.04 and it is useable.

 

Now I tried an installation with a new system on Lubunut 11.10 (oneric ocelot).

 

The installation script did at least something, but there is no startable Icon, nor anything in the /home directory.

 

Is there anyone who has it up and running with Linux 11.10?

 

How can I install it properly?

Well, the install script should put everything in it's place. Your problem is that the "scribe" binary executable isn't in the PATH.

Verify that scribe has been installed to /opt/nch/scribe/bin

You should find the "scribe" executable and the uninstall script.

Simply type: ./scribe to run the program from the aforementioned folder.

 

To make Linux remember where the "scribe" command is, either add the /opt/nch/scribe/bin folder to PATH. (Not recommended)

OR

just create a hardlink from the binary to a folder that's already in PATH, like /usr/bin

So:

sudo ln -n /opt/nch/scribe/bin/scribe /usr/bin

 

Now pop open a start program window with ALT+F2, and type scribe. Or use the terminal. It should work fine now.

... Unless you have a cheap Intel audio card on your laptop, in which case you'll see the following whenever you "Fastforward or Rewind"

"ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1401:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card"

"Segmentation fault"

Awesome. After extensive googling, I can report that this is an open issue dating back to 2009. Nobody's solved it yet, so you might wind up stuck with WINE, laggy though it may be.
