<div dir="ltr">Kahunapule, <div><br>I sent you an email about this about 9 months ago: <br><br></div><div>The issue might be that all of the modules on <a href="http://ebible.org">ebible.org</a> have a minimum requirement for sword 1.7.4 in place, regardless of actual module content vs. sword engine capabilities. (I did not validate ALL, but I have tested ~20 or so modules to import them into Bibletime.) You can make modules appear by manually adjusting the minimum sword requirement in the conf file. That's what I've been doing to get ebible texts into Bibletime 2.10. <br><br>It appears that Xiphos and Bibletime are properly testing the module minimum requirements against the sword engine available to them. If a module has a need for a higher sword engine, it is being excluded from the list of available texts. Since no module on ebible has a minimum sword engine 1.7.3 or lower, none are available to Xiphos or Bibletime that use that engine. </div><div><br></div><div>...<br></div><div><br>----Snip---<br><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap">[engKJV1769eb]

The pattern seems to be Sword 1.81 pass, Sword 1.7.3 fail.<br>

Based on how BibleTime failed, I would guess the issue is in Sword and how it handles languages that don't have a specific locales.d/*.conf file.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Thank you, Pierre.<br>

The two installmgr commands you suggested worked on Ubuntu 18.04. Xiphos still failed.<br>

Hi there !<br>
<br>
I do not have a Ubuntu 18.04 ready to try out, but you should be able to check wether the problem is within the sword library itself by trying to perform the same task with installmgr.<br>
<br>
installmgr -r eBible.org<br>
installmgr -ri eBible.org fraLSG1910eb<br>
<br>
If this did not work, double check if you have write permission in all the directory tree under your $SWORD_PATH directroy (i guess you have this permission ok otheryise no module would install though).<br>

It looks to me like the conditions for failure are running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver OR running Bibletime 2.10.1. Presumably the latter problem can be safely ignored, since it appears to have been fixed in the current version. However, it seems to me to be worth investigating what it is about Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver that is causing a module manager failure in both Bibletime and Xiphos. Is it the older version of the Sword engine? If so, why does that version work on the previous LTS version of Ubuntu?<br>
<br>
This seems to be a worthy puzzle to solve. Ubuntu LTS releases are the ones supported by UBS and SIL for Bible translation use, and the Bible translations in the eBible.org repository are frequently used as reference works by Bible translators. Not only that, but for many end users, the only Bible in their own language is in the eBible.org repository.<br>
<br>
Any clues?<br>

When trying to preload a few Bible translations, I noticed that Xiphos couldn't see the eBible.org repository. However, I can see and use it just fine from some other front ends. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do about it, or is this something that needs to be fixed in Xiphos?<br>
