There is a bugs and issues thread for Windows users - This is for LINUX users.

 

I am using Lubuntu 16.04.1 64bit, the lates version, all up-to-date. I installed "PlayOnLinux". Downloaded eSword 11.0.5 and installed it with the Wine Programs Loader.

 

- The first problem is the TSK (treasury of scriptural knowledge) is plain text; you can't click on the verse references and have them go to that reference in the Bible

 

- As I attempted to get a screen shot, Kazam (screenshot program) only shows a blank grey screen.

 

- The third issue is the font. Whatever the default font is, that's all there is. The menu is still there to select a different font, but it has no effect on anything, accept older modules.

 

I tried it as stated above, and also ran the additional fix shown here

http://www.biblesupp...wine-on-linux/

but nothing changed.

 

Is there something else I need to activate/download in WineTricks to remedy this?

I just installed eSword 11.0.5 in ArchLinux using wine 1.9.15, wine_gecko, and wine-mono. I also installed the .dll files I had previously listed. 

 

All popups are working, and the text looks like it should in TSK. You might check and see if a package for wine_gecko is installed. It may be needed since the files are marked up in HTML now. You may have to search to find out how to install it in Lubuntu.

 

As far as the fonts you may need to install some fonts using winetricks.

 

I hope this helps you some.

Lubuntu 16.04.1 uses Wine 1.6. I also already had gecko and mono.

 

I removed all of it and installed Wine 1.9.16 from WineHQ. From there I got Mono & Gecko.

 

Still no joy...

 

The fonts are available, just not recognized by the new eSword.

Hi Guys,

 

Ever get any answers on this problem?

[2guntom]

No.

 

At that time, the only solution I had found was to use the older version of e-Sword that came on CD, but if you don't have a previously downloaded version of your premium modules you'll be disappointed.

 

The option I now use is to have Windows on my Bible study computers. When I need e-Sword, I boot to Windows; everything else, I boot to MX-16.

 

I have abandoned any more attempts at getting e-Sword running in Linux and I don't use anything 'buntu-based anymore.

I tried e-Sword 11 and had the same issues, not links to the TSK. Not as real problem. But it kept crashing for some reason. Or it would open so far in an invisible screen and not complete the open process. I removed e-Sword, reinstalled it, and some times that would work. Then it wouldn't. I found version 10.07 and tried that. It worked for a while. The developed the same problem of not completely opening. I removed e-Sword and Wine, then reinstalled. Some luck with version 10.04. The only issue now is, e-Sword will always crash when I try to open the KJV+ version or the Strong's Concordance. I tried putting on different versions of the KJV+ and the Concordance from older files I collected, but no luck on that yet. 

I tried to get a screen shot of the errors encountered. But now I can get to the KJV+ with an unresponsive e-Sword program. 

If I open e-sword and click on the Dictionary tab, it freezes. Anything to do with the Concordance will freeze the program. E-sword takes a long time to load, and for the most part, it using the profile under Home/.wine/c-drive/Program files (x86)/e-Sword. I am using Unbuntu 16, with the latest updates, and Cinnamon. 

There seems to be a second e-Sword popping up and starting after it does open. 

By opening e-Sword, then going to KJV+ without doing anything else, I can get the report. It seems there is a conflict with Wine, which runs 32 bit, and e-sword is 64 bit. If that's the case, is there a fix? E-sword worked fine before, but developed issues after Ubuntu, Wine, and e-Sword updates.

Adventbible, sorry you are having trouble, and I feel your pain.

 

I had contacted Mr Myers about making a version for Linux, but he has no interest. He did say I could use his modules and make my own, but I possess neither the time nor the skill to do so. The easiest path that I investigated was to take eSword, crack it, hack it, and then repackage it for Linux, but that also requires time and knowledge I do not have. And, to top it off, my end product would be something that only I could use because it was illegal...

 

The ONLY solution that I have found is to dual-boot my computers; that is, to have Windows AND Linux on each machine. Windows for eSword, picture editing, and some work-type-stuff, then Linux for everything else.

 

Also, I have completely abandoned any 'buntu or 'buntu-related distros altogether. I have switched solely to MX Linux which is debian-based. Wine and Winetricks is packaged differently in MX so it comes across as a completely different animal. So much so that I don't use it.

 

Again, my "fix" is to have Windows installed for eSword; sad but true.

 

Have you tried posting that error report in any of the 'buntu help forums? Something specific to wine issues *might* yield some help.

 

If you find a solution, please share

Still no solution. I am looking at upgrading to Linux 18 that keeps popping up on the updates. As far as I can tell, E-Sword is installed as a 64 bit program. I've read Wine is stuck on 32 bit. Not sure how that works. Maybe a future update will solve the problem. I do have windows and Linux on the same machine. I regret ever opening windows again. Last time that updated it took down a bunch of my profiles. I still use them on Linux through Wine. For the most part I adapted over to all Linux programs but there is nothing like E-Sword offered. I think you mentioned photo editing. I've used Gimp on windows and now on Linux. Everything you need to do is somewhere on YouTube. And Gimp is powerful once you master a few simple steps. My daughter is now using Gimp on her Apple. Took her a few hours to catch on.

e-Sword is a 32 bit program, and considering you installed it as a 64 bit, no wonder why you are having issues.

I gave Xubuntu 18.04 a try when it first came out in April.

 

It was a disaster. I contemplated troubleshooting, but then I remembered all the trouble I had with Xubuntu 16.04 when it first came out. It's just not worth it to me. I'm done with anything 'buntu or 'buntu-based.

 

I tried several debian-based distros and found some interesting ones, but MX is what I'm sticking with. It works, it works well, and it works all the time. In the rare exception when it doesn't, the forum members are there to help, and so are the developers.

 

Having said all that, there is a recipe for success using a dual-boot system for Windows so you can run Windows-based software.

I've had to do this this year because of some of the work I'm doing that requires a "Windows" operating system.

 

You must have an SSD. Since you have to turn off all the fast-booting setting so you can dual-boot, all of Microsoft's speed cheats are disabled. SSD's are cheaper, if you go with smaller ones. Amazon has 120GB for less than $30, and that is the best $30 you will ever spend; yes, they are that fast. Install Windows 10 first, then partition off a small section, maybe 35GB for Linux. Use a "regular" hard drive in the same computer, format it NTFS and mark it "STORAGE". The "STORAGE" drive will be accessible from both OS's. OS's on the SSD, everything else on the HDD.

 

RAM should be DDR3 or better, 6GB or more depending on how heavy of software you run in Windows.

 

Get a decent graphics card with at least 1GB of memory; 2GB is better. Stay away from gaming cards. AMD seems more compatible with Linux systems; nVidia has always been a pain, particularly with gaming cards.

 

I prefer Intel processors, and some guys drive Chevy's, other drive Fords. "Hyperthreading" dual core Intels are good; quad core is better. Hyperthreading quad core is amazing, but expensive. AMD is generally less expensive all the way around, and their offerings are ever-interesting. An AMD tri-core at minimum; quadcore is better. I have in my possession an "APU" machine that boasts a hyperthreading dual core, so...

 

Keeping in mind, everything stated above is for a DESKTOP computer, and working from a government surplus, bargain basement, as cheap as I can get away with standpoint. And this not necessarily "building" a machine, but rather modifying an OEM machine, keeping the price as low as possible.
