Re: [ANN] Release LiveCode 10.0.0 DP-6

In all my Linux browsers, both Blink/Chromium based and Gecko/Firefox based, William's dp5 app loads and runs but the dp6 version fails to run after downloading. I'm not expert at using the developer and debug tools in the browser but it looks like the font doesn't download. Could it be that desktop...

Re: Unpacking LC on Linux

Richmond, If you always choose the install only for self option (IIRC this is what you've said you do) all Livecode components are installed in a '~/.runrev' directory. The icon is installed in '~/.local/share/applications' Those are the only locations where the installer puts anything unless you in...

Re: Kubuntu 22.04

Thank you! Your advice helped me hit pay dirt on this. I'm happy to learn you resolved the issue of the failing installer! That's the most important thing. It's interesting to note that our problems were not the same insomuch as your solution of adding the '-log' flag does not work for me. The inst...

Re: Kubuntu 22.04

Hi, Richard. It's an Arch spin (EndeavourOS) with Openbox. This has been happening for some months now and even installers which previously had worked now get stuck after selecting the installation location and starting the actual installation process. It shows a dialog complaining about conflicting...

Re: Kubuntu 22.04

tetsuo, try adding the -ui flag to your command. I can't use the installer the "GUI" way any more but it runs and installs properly using the -ui flag. The installers launch for me but get stuck, so we don't have exactly the same behavior, but even if it doesn't result in a successful installation, ...

Re: eMail Account Selection

Correct, Kkaus. But that could open the question if a mechanism could be used inside LC to switch the default account and then use mailto: from with LC. So, for that time the default is changed, but closing or just leaving the app, it is set back to the original default. At least, it would be a wor...

Re: eMail Account Selection

Is this really something to be afraid of? The user probably has chosen a default account because that's one he prefers to use. It's likely the one he would select if presented a choice in your app. In any event if someone has multiple accounts set up in his email client he can almost certainly choos...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

This is of course different from non-licences users asking coding questions which should be encouraged, but I have a recollection they made a point about the actual opensource IDE. Can anyone remember? Questions regarding why Livecode isn't running or behaving as expected and how to resolve these i...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

Redfield, which DE did you install with EndeavourOS? I installed XFCE. Was also using XFCE on RebornOS, where Livecode worked. Is it possible the installer download was corrupted? I would download and try again before I started down any deeper rabbit holes. Done so, no change. I have meanwhile inst...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

Redfield, which DE did you install with EndeavourOS? I'm running the Openbox community version. I just now downloaded the installer for 9.6.3 from the page that Richmond posted in this thread and it runs. My output of 'ldd <installerPath>' is the same as what you got. I can run version 8 of Livecode...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

Well, right know I would ask you: Which is more important to you? Sticking with that Linux distro, or being able to run LiveCode on A Linux distro? So, either stick with your Arch-deriv and forget LiveCode, or install a Debian-deriv and use LiveCode. You cannot always have everything you want. This...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

EndeavorOS is described by its team as "terminal-centric". If you can run Chrome but not LC I'm surprised, but I suspect ldd will provide good guidance on missing dependencies. Just an FYI to avoid any unnecessary consternation among readers of this thread: EndeavourOS's self description is probabl...
