BIG FAT WARNING: Scribus users on Ubuntu/Kubuntu Dapper Drake will experience difficulties while changing values in real number spinboxes. This is a long standing bug which has been reported to both Ubuntu and Scribus bug tracker. As long as there is no real solution, you can use the following easy workaround: echo "export LC_ALL=C" >> ~/.bash_profile


Requirements:   
Operating System:   Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux  
Scribus Version:   1.2.* and 1.3.*
DTP skills:   novice
OS skills:   novice


Introduction

Currently there are following Scribus-related packages for Ubuntu/Kubuntu:

  • scribus (Scribus 1.2.x)
  • scribus-ng (Scribus 1.3.x). scribus-ng package can be installed in parallel with the scribus package.
  • scribus-template (Developer and user-contributed additional templates),
  • scribus-doc Scribus 1.2.x documentation, which has to be provided as a separate package due to is non-free nature by the Debian Free Software Guidelines
  • scribus-ng-doc Scribus 1.3.x documentation, which has to be provided as a separate package due to is non-free nature by the Debian Free Software Guidelines
  • icc-profiles - A collection of common ICC profiles to use with Scribus and other color profile-aware software
  • lprof Hardware color profiler that can be used to create color profiles for your hardware to be used with Scribus


Extending Ubuntu/Kubuntu repositories

Note that Ubuntu Breezy packages can be also used for Ubuntu "Dapper" branch. 


# debian.scribus.net - Primary repository
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian breezy main restricted
deb-src http://debian.scribus.net/debian breezy main restricted

# debian.tagancha.org - Backup repository
deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian breezy main restricted
deb-src http://debian.tagancha.org/debian breezy main restricted

Using cryptographic repository signatures

Our repositories are cryptographically signed for added security. Add the gpg-keys for our repositories to avoid having to confirm your installation choice to the package manager each time you update a scribus or scribus-cvs package. 

root$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys DA286F326C5F196B
root$ gpg --armor --export DA286F326C5F196B | apt-key add -

or as a normal user (with an appropriate entry for apt-key in the sudoers file): 

user$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys DA286F326C5F196B
user$ gpg --armor --export DA286F326C5F196B | sudo apt-key add -

Final installation step

Once you added the relevant sources lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list you can run 

aptitude install scribus scribus-cvs

or 

apt-get install scribus scribus-cvs

in a root terminal or use your favorite graphical apt-get front-end such as synaptic or aptitude. Don't forget to "Reload Package List" in the synaptic. It's the equivalent of "apt-get (or aptitude) update" and has to be done to make new packages from our repositories available to your package management tools.
