@muralikodali Can you let me know which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install on...on my VMs and on launchpad it should install fine on Xenial and Zesty...Artful has libgranite missing

[muralikodali]

It is Ubuntu Mate 16.04

I'm having the same issue on Xubuntu 16.04

[babluboy]

Have not tried installing on Mate 16.04 and Xubuntu 16.04, but looks like libgranite is an issue. Can you please try installing libgranite and other dependencies and build from source? The instructions are here: https://github.com/babluboy/bookworm#how-to-build-bookworm

Hopefully the package names are the same in Mate and Xubuntu. Someone has put up the instructions on how to build on Fedora here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/69qwdk/why_dont_more_linux_distros_support_elementary_app/

Let me know how it goes...otherwise you can wait a bit until I get around to create a AppImage and Snap for Bookworm, then it will be cross distro...

[babluboy]

Same issue for another elementary app, see here for the suggested resolution: https://github.com/needle-and-thread/vocal/issues/12

[babluboy]

Found another resolution at the following link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/682828/i-cant-install-pantheon-greeter-in-ubuntu-14-04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
sudo apt-get update

The above will install libgranite, you can then try and install bookworm:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bookworm-team/bookworm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bookworm

And remove the elementary PPAs after the install suceeds.

Just snapped bookworm ! Its available on the edge channel at the moment. you can try and install the same with the snap command: sudo snap install bookworm --channel=edge Feedback appreciated

[muralikodali]

on ubuntu mate 16.04, i have got following errors when i tried to run snap

$ snap run bookworm

[babluboy]

Looks like some more work is needed to add a plug for dbus. I got some errors for gsettings on eOS...hopefully that should resolve...will update when I try that fix later in the evening...

[babluboy]

Finally managed to get the snap working with: sudo snap install --dangerous bookworm_0.9_amd64.snap --devmode Just pushed and release the latest version to the store.

However, it is not able to access /usr/share/bookworm/ where bookworm stores all its icons, scripts, etc - so the app is not working at the moment. Not sure how to fix that at the moment.

[navjotjsingh]

Is there any resolution to this? Can't install on regular Ubuntu 16.04 as well.

[babluboy]

@navjotjsingh If you are installing on Ubuntu 16.04, then the ppa should work, let me know for any issues.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bookworm-team/bookworm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bookworm

If the above PPA installation is giving issues, then can you install the elementary ppa and then try to install the bookworm ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bookworm-team/bookworm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bookworm

I will take a look at snap when I return from vacation in the new year...there are a number of improvements I did to make Bookworm work correctly on Flatpak, so hopefully I might have fixed the same issues for snap....

If you want to install as a Flatpak application, you can find the installation instructions here: https://babluboy.github.io/bookworm

[arooni]

the ppa's don't seem to have an up to date version of bookworm. how long does it take to for them to get it

Usually I update on the same day, however this time elementary OS Appcenter required the package to be changed to the RDNN (com.github.babluboy.bookworm). I was trying to maintain the executable as bookworm on the PPA but will need to change that from this release.

Also, instead of maintaining the code separately on Launchpad, I will use the GitHub branch on launchpad to build the code. That will make it more easier for me to build and keep the PPA updated.

will report back in a couple of days when the PPA has been updated with the last release.

[babluboy]

@arooni I have now got the PPA (Bionic, Artful and Xenial) updated with the latest code from GitHub...however the package name is now com.github.babluboy.bookworm...so I guess the commands to install will be (after removing the existing bookworm installation):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bookworm-team/bookworm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install com.github.babluboy.bookworm

Will be great if you can give it a shot, I need to build a Ubuntu Xenial VM to test the same.

[arooni]

@babluboy thanks for the quick update!

I was able to upgrade just fine, though I think I had to uninstall the bookworm package first. Or it might be because it was open the first time I tried to install your updated ppa's package.

@lrkwz Try adding the elementary PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install com.github.babluboy.bookworm

And then after bookworm is installed, remove the elementary PPA

[babluboy]

@muralikodali Snapped the latest v1.0.0 Bookworm and published to the Snap store: https://snapcraft.io/bookworm

Will be great if you can test the same and probably attach a screen shot of how it looks as a snap application on Ubuntu.

[lrkwz]

Well not really nice indeed

[babluboy]

@lrkwz Many thanks. I looked up the issue and people have suggested the resolution as well. Will spin up a VM and then reproduce the issue and see if I can resolve it.

[lrkwz]

Ok fantastic. Using the elementary-os PPA works.

[arooni]

What's updated more frequently? The snap installation or the ppa (deb files)?

[babluboy]

@arooni For the stable releases I push to Appcenter, Flatpak, stable PPA (and hopefully snap after I resolve current issues) within a day. For the daily builds which are frequent the daily PPA and the GH master are the ones which are updated

[ivocavalcante]

Hey @babluboy , how is the status of the Snap package nowadays? Is it abandoned?

[babluboy]

@ivocavalcante I haven’t had a look at Snap for a long time. Maybe when I push the next release to Appcenter and PPA, I will take a look at snap to see what’s working and what’s not...
