I was informed that the package name on Arch is xorg-xwd. I installed that with sudo pacman -S and ran through the installer fine. I'm now downloading my resources.
I just got a new machine and am trying to install Logos. Following the video Ferion11 provided, after typing
./fast_install_AppImageWine_and_Logos.sh
in the terminal, I get the Error:
Your system does not have the command: ntlm_auth. Please install command ntlm_auth package. Usually is necessary: winbind cabextract libjpeg8.
I had a look in Synaptic Package Manager, and the closest I could find is:
python3-ntlm-auth
Is that what I need to install? I'm running Wasta 20.04 (based on Ubuntu).
A bit of hunting revealed that ntlm_auth is part of samba (https://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix_commands/ntlm_auth.htm). I didn't have samba installed, so I went ahead and installed it. I tried running the fast install script again, but it still errored out... So then I looked more closely at the error message and thought that maybe "usually is necessary" means "these are dependencies that could solve your problem". So while I had cabextract installed, I did not have winbind installed. I installed winbind and now the script is running. Less cryptic error messages would be a huge help for this linux learner! :-P
I just installed this on my Ubuntu laptop. And it is running right now. I have been looking for a way to install logos on my Linux laptop for a while now. And I am very excited!!

Watch the video on the github page helps a great deal!

Glad it's working for you, Jared! I'm on my second attempt at installing it... (and you can see the issues I faced a few pages back in this thread when I first tried the "fast install" script). I followed along with the video step-by-step, but even creating a shortcut doesn't work for me -- at least I don't find anything in the Start menu... :-( There is a Logos item in /.local/share/applications, but I don't know how to move that to the start menu. <sigh> And I tried moving my 20+ GB of /Data, /Documents, and /Users files to avoid having to download them all again, but Logos just errors out on startup... So frustrating! There seems to be a high level of Linux savvy to get this to work -- a level I obviously don't enjoy. Oh well, off to try again; Logos is essential for my work, so I've got to get it figured out...
I tried it 3 different ways. Then when I watched the video and installed it exactly like it did on the video it finally worked. I'm not very savvy on Linux but want to be.
Just wondering which version of Wine you used, Jared? I have been selecting the first, default option to use native Wine; when the first "Question" screen pops up, I can see in the terminal behind that it's using wine-5.0 (the first time I ran the fast installer, I didn't have Wine installed, so it ended and told me to install it. I used Synaptic Package Manager to do so, and I guess 5.0 is what it installed...). But now I'm wondering if I should be using the Wine 6.5 option to install?
I decided not to try to copy my data from a perfectly working and up to date version of Logos 9 running on my old computer. Instead, this time I just bit the bullet and told Logos to download everything (21 GB). It got through Step 1, but as soon as Step 2 started (0% of ...), Logos errored out...
I'm really not sure what else to try. Definitely open to suggestions!
I did do an update on. Wine.
Did you do the:
chmod +x fast_install_AppImageWine_and_Logos.sh
I think that was one I was overlooking too.
I did the minimal installation initially. You can always download the resources as you need them later.
I hope you get it to work. I love logos, but I do not care as much for the web app, so I was switching back and forth from computers. I have been. Attempting to find a way to do this for 3 years, gave up for a while but figured with all the work Steam has put I to the games I though surely there is something new. 👍
Yes, I did the "chmod +x" line. That made the "fast_install_etc" file show up green when I ran the "ls" command on the Downloads directory. I guess that 'approves' it somehow?
Anyway, I selected the Wine 6.5 option on my last attempt and it's currently downloading resources -- 8% of 12.2 GB. I guess it's going to do it in multiple chunks. I'm a bit bummed that you can't copy what's already been downloaded from one machine to another, but I guess if it downloads it will be good.
It took a while for it to get everything loaded... but it sounds like you are heading in the right direction.
Resources are downloaded and indexed, but I'm left feeling like things are 'broken' under the hood... For example, I created a shortcut with the ./Logos.sh shortcut command. One was created in /.local/share/applications. I copied this to the desktop and it worked -- once... Well, it still launches Logos, but the icon has changed from the blue cross to a bland earmarked-white-page-with-four-lines. I tried changing it back by using right-click, Properties, but I can't find the graphic in the lists and lists of icons. <sigh> I was hoping a fresh install would have gone better... :-\
I just made a keyboard short cut. I hit ctrl-l and it opens. I like a very few things on my desktop haha 😄
Glad you were able to get it going.
I only put it on my desktop because I couldn't figure out where else to put it! Believe me, I like a clean desktop as well. But the launcher is not in the Start menu -- anywhere! -- and I can't move the desktop shortcut to the task bar. Like I said, something seems broken... :-(
That is strange.
This is what I typed in to make my keyboard shortcut:
./LogosBible_Linux_P/Logos.sh
Then in the short cut option: ctrl-l
(Since super-l is log out)
Try ./Logos.sh shortcut
It will make you a nice shortcut in the desktop menus with an icon etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, John. That's what I tried a number of replies above, but as I said, it creates a shortcut in /.local/share/applications, but there's nothing in the Start menu or on the Desktop. I can drag and copy a shortcut from Files to the Desktop, but I can't figure out how to get one in the Start menu. Oh, and the icon has changed on the Desktop shortcut, and I don't know how to restore it. I've tried right-clicking the icon and going through Properties, but haven't had any success.
It would be wonderful having LOGOS on Liinux. I love LINUX and have attempted to set up the old LOGOS platform through WINE, unfortunately it crashed each time i tried to open another Bible or Commentary. Please push for LOGOS to wake up and integrate with LINUX. I hardly ever go onto Windows, therefore i use eSword which works well through WINE, but i do miss using LOGOS. God bless all your hard and loyal work at LINUX.
Gerald you can get it to work fairly well now!
