YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN FILES WITH SCRIBUS 1.4.x CREATED BY SCRIBUS 1.5.x!!! *** As is also strongly stated on the Scribus friends PPA: files created by Scribus 1.5 are NOT compatible with older Scribus 1.4 series. Scribus 1.4.8 is based on Qt 4 (not shipped in Focal & newer), so Scribus 1.5 series is packaged as scribus instead of scribus-ng for Focal & newer. OR for Focal & Hirsute (1.5.6.1 Focal & 1.5.7 Hirsute) OR for Xenial, Bionic & Focal (version 1.5.7) Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ scribus Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ ffmpeg4 Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ blender Notes for Xenial, Bionic & Focal (optional for Hirsute): Scribus >= 1.5.5 requires libopenscenegra ph161 so add the Blender PPA for this dependency: Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ gcc-defaults- 9
#SCRIBUS 1.6 INSTALL#
Note for Xenial & Bionic: Scribus >= 1.5.5 is built with and requires GCC 9.3.0 so to install the latest versions do this (& backup system first!):
#SCRIBUS 1.6 UPGRADE#
Sudo apt-get upgrade & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ kde-xenial Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ qt-xenial Note for Xenial: Scribus 1.5.5 need Qt >= 5.7, KDE stack must be upgarded to match updated Qt stack or else there can be bugs and incompatibilities:

Here are the required steps for installation: Adding the Blender PPA gives access to the set of packages used by Scribus 1.5+ "development" versions. Why Blender PPA? Due openscenegraph (also used by Blender) and all the many dependencies of openscenegraph being there. To keep this PPA cleaner for Xenial & Bionic users wanting Scribus 1.4.8 the additional dependencies for Scribus 1.5+ are available at the Blender PPA on this Launchpad site. * Notes for Scribus 1.5+ for all series: The "development" version (though considered to be stable regardless) has various dependencies on additional multimedia packages, including a large chain of dependencies starting with openscenegraph (which depends on GDAL and all of the GDAl depedencies). Installation of 1.4.8 only requires this PPA whereas 1.5.5 NG requires additional PPAs. Scribus 1.4.8 "stable" and 1.5.5 "development" with that version packaged as scribus-ng so both can be co-installed. Notes for Xenial & Bionic: Two versions of Scribus are offered here for these series inspired by "Scribus friends" PPA that has been around for a few years. Jammy only: scribus (1.5.8 "development") Scribus - stable & development (Xenial & newer) net/~savoury1/ +archive/ ubuntu/ qt-5-15Īlso: Scribus 1.4.8 stable and Scribus NG 1.5.5 "development" for Xenial & Bionic, and 1.5.6.1 "development" (requires Qt >= 5.12) for Focal only. See the Qt 5.15 PPA for Qt/KDE upgrade notes:
