Bible Analyzer 5.4 beta (Linux)

[Tim]

Thanks for the notice.

Since Windows 11 is now out and I cannot upgrade from Win10 to Win11 I wiped Win10 off off of my Windows Pro Book laptop and installed Debian 11.

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 end-of-life is not until October 2025, so I don't see a special urgency to migrate to Windows 11.

I'm one of those people who have a PC that dual-boots to Windows or Linux. In my case, I have Linux Mint, and my hardware cannot support Windows 11, so in a couple of years I should be using Linux exclusively, instead of 80% of the time as I do now.

I am in Linux most of the time, except that Zoom has better features in Windows than Linux, and occasionally I want to see how the same product compares on two different operating systems (e.g., Bible Analyzer, LibreOffice, or Visual Studio Code).

Regarding your screen flicker problems, I had some issues with the Cinnamon desktop, but fewer with the Mate desktop. You might try changing desktops to see if it helps.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried various Linux distros and the problem continues to exist. I need a Bible that I can use under Linux so therefore I found a Bible that functions without flicker problems. However, to use it under Linux I use Crossover. It runs great under Crossover and met my needs for Bible reading and study.

I may return to Bible Analyzer once the problem is resolved.

Hello Les,

What a small world. I run Linux Mint v20.3, and I also use Crossover to manage a few tools that I was unable to find good equivalents in Linux (for example, Scrivener).

Crossover has been very handy. It doesn't allow me to run anything I want, but it is sufficient for my needs.

For a couple months, I had both the Linux version of Bible Analyzer and the Crossover "bottle" of Bible Analyzer running at the same time, to compare how they worked. Getting the latest beta version of BA solved most of my problems.

Kind regards,

[Evan]

Hi, I am receiving the following error when trying to run Bible Analyzer 5.4 on Kubuntu 22.04.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks.

This is likely an issue with the dependencies which cannot be fixed until we get the Linux edition updated to v5.5.

[Evan]

Thanks, do you have an estimate on when v5.5 will come out for Linux?

Kind Regards

Hopefully in a few weeks.
