Pencil 1.2 standalone does not work on Ubuntu 10.04 #194

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
1. Download Pencil-1.2-0-linux-gtk.tar.gz
2. untar it
3. run pencil

It should run but it says:
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.*.

I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

I confirm the same thing on Kubuntu 10.04 32-bit. I have a xulrunner 1.9.2 
installed.

Don't know what the advantage is of pencil being a compiled binary. But if you 
replace it with this script, it works:

#!/bin/sh
PROGDIR=`dirname $0`
xulrunner $PROGDIR/application.ini

Alternatively, see attached file. Copy it over the executable and make it 
executable with chmod +x pencil.

P.S. always check scripts you download before executing.

I would also like to reliably run this standalone so I can associate it with my 
pencil files. Is there a way to do this using the firefox plugin?

I've seen the same thing on my Ubuntu 10.10 32bit machine, but not on my 64bit 
machine.

I am trying to use it on Kubuntu 11.04 Natty. Installation is successful. But, 
when I try to run, it shows me busy mouse icon and then vanishes. Nothing 
happens. 

Can anybody help me on this?

naikhit, in Ubuntu 11.04 you have to install the xulrunner by hand. Moreover, 
it must be version 1.9.2 and not 2.0. You can use this:
sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.2

Then it should work,

I just downloaded the script and followed the suggestions of comment #2. It 
didn't work at first.  So I changed the script to specify "xulrunner-1.9.2" 
instead of just "xulrunner".  Now it works!

BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.  I've got xulrunner-1.9.2 and xulrunner-2.0 
both installed

I can confirm a smooth run with the script mentioned in #2 unter Kubuntu 10.04 
64-Bit.

BTW, is no Ubuntu/Debian DEB package planned?

How to run Pencil on Ubuntu 11.10? 
xulrunner-1.9.2 is not in Ubuntu 11.10 repositories.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
OK, i solved problem :)

Solution:
- download xulrunner-1.9.2 from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/xulrunner-1.9.2
- install (for example using console: dpkg -i 
xulrunner-1.9.2_1.9.2.17+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb)

Worked with the script in #2... 

Already had xulrunner Mozilla XULRunner 1.9.2.24 but it wasn't working until I 
replaced for the script.

Comment #2 solved my problem with a minor change. I had to use xulrunner-1.9.2 
instead of xulrunner. Thanks a lot.

P.S. Running Linux Mint 11. xulrunner-2.0 and xulrunner-1.9.2 were already 
installed in my system.

It's a pity that the pencil guys didn't put any useful information on their 
site to solve this problem.
