Sorry Sam I didn't see your previous reply.
Follow the instructions here to fix that screen glitch. https://support.codeweavers.com/2-common-actions/linux-editing-bottle-registry-keys?from_search=163304770 I set mine to gdi but it is a process of test and see.Sam R. said:I got the latest version of Logos (37.1) to run on Crossover. Much smoother, for the most part, than the github script I tried. I do notice some artifacts (black flashing/flickering border) when clicking on menus like guides, layouts, etc. but for the most part, scrolling and normal use, seem ok.

No worries Michael! Looks like GDI is the way to go for me also; tried vulkan but it was a little sluggish. Thanks for the help/guidance!
now I just need to figure out how to remove the version of the app that I installed with the github script to free up disk space.

If you have CrossOver and WINE installed just uninstall WINE. CrossOver installs into is own folders (/home/yourusername/.cxoffice) and WINE installs in its own folders. If you uninstall WINE make sure you do a complete removal in your package manager and it should remove all the WINE folders.

Thanks Michael. I do not have Wine installed, only Bottles and Crossover. However I did find the directory of where the other logos instance was installed via the github script and just deleted that whole folder, about 22GB which looked right

That's odd, I thought the script checked for WINE and if it wasn't installed it would install it for you. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm trying to install Logos using Crossover. The bottle and all the frameworks install fine, but when it comes to install the application, I'm getting a "Logos Bible Study requires Windows to be fully updated. Please install system updates." error.
Do you know what it might be missing?
Update:
It looks like the default 'Logos Bible Software X' installer installs into a Windows 7 bottle. I was able to make more progress by installing into a Windows 11 bottle. It still failed with the same error, but later in the process.

Yes, download and unpack this into the appropriate directory in your bottle.

That Logos install is old and from 2014 if my memory is correct. If you want Logos today follow the suggestion I made above and then install Logos into that bottle. If you can wait I am waiting for approval from Codeweavers (makers of CrossOver) so I can create a CrossTie which will do 99% of what needs to be done to get Logos running on your PC. You may notice a couple of screenshots in previous comments regarding this.David Drew said:Update:

Ahh, thanks for this. I thought that the 'LBS X` crosstie was yours.
Worked great once I followed your instructions above.
Thanks again!

How can I join the Telegram or Matrix?
I installed Logos using the beta 4 binary, and I'm currently stuck on the step of downloading the library. When I choose "Run Logos" on the TUI, it opens the page where I can choose to download the whole library or part of it. And there's a progress bar that was stuck on 10% for a while and now on 20% (not sure what I did to let it make progress). But when I choose to download the whole library, the window disappears and the TUI goes from saying "Stop Logos" back to saying "Run Logos." I tried leaving it in this state overnight to see if anything was running in the background, but it didn't work. How do I let it download the rest of the library?

Will the steps above also work for a Verbum user? Thanks! This is my last step to having my Linux laptop with everything I’d need.

Until someone still active in the Linux installs responds - I can say that I never had an issue installing Verbum as a test when I was active in the Linux work.

I don't have an active verbum subscription to test it. Verbum 10 worked fine.

I'm following all the steps in the last few pages but I have some questions.
- Where is the Logos install coming from? Do I use the one in Crossover? Is there one to get off the Logos site? When I try to download the setup file it tells me I'm not compatible.
- What is the matrix or Telegram group names? I tried searching Matrix but don't know what I'm looking for. I have Telegram but never used it much.

If they were able to get the web app to work similar to the desktop app, then making a native Linux version for download wouldn't that much more difficult in my uneducated thoughts. If you built a downloadable app that was based on Firefox or another open source web browser where it would be able to link to a folder or URL depending on interet connection. If this were how they developed it...then that download could be THE future of the desktop app. Again I am not educated in the programing aspect of these things but I would think an open source web browser shell could be a viable option, as long as there was an ability to link to offline locations of your library.

If you are following all the steps in the last few pages you are mixing installs.
If you are using Linux to get the exe file you will need to change the browser to show it is a Windows browser not a Linux browser.
For everything else you have 2 options:
- use the script supplied in the github page and it will (should?) do everything for you.
- install CrossOver, create an empty Windows 10 or 11 bottle, download the dll package from the github page and put it in the empty CrossOver Windows 10 or 11 bottle, install Logos into the empty Windows 10 or 11 bottle.
I am waiting for Codeweavers (who make CrossOver) to approve Logos/Verbum. Once that is done I can create a CrossTie which should do everything for you. Until then the 2 options above are your best bets.

There are a couple workarounds. You may either need to delete the ICU files in your Downloads directory or remove the library catalog.
Yes.

The easiest or most up-to-date install can be run through our installer hosted on GitHub. Our installer attempts to handle your system dependencies as well. Beta 5 will introduce support for the Alpine distribution. We currently support Debian-based, Fedora-based, Arch-based, and OpenSUSE-based distros.
You can download the latest release here:
We recently renamed the project to Ou Dedetai. It is a self-contained installer. There are some issues with the install procedure, and we are working on a hefty refactor that should make the install procedure more consistent and resolve the recent bugs that have been found. When beta 5 is released, it should in general be much more stable.

I tested the latest Verbum yesterday and it works. It seemed to allow the features from my Logos subscription and my verbum 10 license.
