The PnP version said it was detected and set up but after rebooting there still wasn’t sound. This was an issue trying to get the sound to work with this distro, at first I tried using the SoundBlaster AWE32 (both normal and PnP versions) and using the sndconfig command in the terminal to configure it but I had no luck. It seems that most drivers for the hardware were detected and installed, all except for the sound. The logon screen on the left, and the default desktop after a fresh install. I guess certain cards have issues running under Linux Boot Instead, I tried S3 Vision968 instead, which actually worked fine. Originally I tried using the Cirrus Logic GD5440, but the X Window system would not start up with that card. You can find the full address for that newsgroup on the xwp8users webpage.The installer has a very Windows-like look to it, at least going by the window styles. Note that the WP for Linux newsgroup is still active, which you can access with Thunderbird as your newsgroup reader. Again, sorry, my new account can't post direct links. These books can be found online for very little money.īe sure to look at the "xwp8users" webpage. It was also included on CD in a back cover pocket of WordPerfect for Linux Bible, and also on CD along with Rod Smith's Special Edition Using Corel WordPerfect 8 for Linux, ISBN 0789720329, published by Que. You can still find copies of WP for linux 8.0 to download, or you can purchase 8.1 (with more fonts, etc) used on CD.
For that one must use the converters in LibreOffice as a bridge. WP for Linux will open all of your PC WordPerfect ver 6 through 8 files, as well as import RTF files, etc. Just google "WordPerfect-8.1-for-Linux-Installation-steps-for-Ubuntu-10.04" and you will find it.īy doing this install you are running a native Linux program, so no emulator such as Wine is involved. So, The website "WordPerfect Universe" has installation instructions. Ok, so now I learn that my new account cannot post urls here.
Note that to run WP for Linux you need to install two old legacy libraries that no longer come standard with newer distributions. These instructions still work for the most recent version.
Here are the install instructions for an older version of Ubuntu. It was since discontinued, however there are still some devoted fans. It also runs on more recent versions of Linux Mint, as well as Ubuntu.Ĭorel made a version of WordPerfect for Linux circa 1999. I am currently running WordPerfect for Linux 8.1, on Linux Mint 13, on an intel Mac Mini and also on a Macbook. Six months after the original post, but here goes.
