CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Is there a way around the install issues with fc31 which defaults to python3? Python2 is still present but when running rpm -Uvh <cross over rpm> I get a "python < 3.0 ..." rpm install error.

Looks like this is already covered in another thread and I meant fc31 in the title.

Just in case anyone sees this thread and not the other one -- using the .bin installer will get around the dependency issue with Fedora 31 and CrossOver 18.5.

Thanks,

Nice, but not here. I'm on F30 (including python2 and python3) with 18.5 already installed and working. I've tried the rpm --force method (reinstall succeeded, but no change) and I just tried the .bin but it won't let me because 18.5 already exists and was previous installed using the rpm file.

Follow-up question: uninstalling crossover ... what does that do to your already-established bottles?

Short answer: it depends.

Long answer:

Uninstalling the .bin will keep your crossover bottles intact unless you also delete ~/.cxoffice (where the bottles are stored).

Uninstalling the .rpm can also be done by just deleting /opt/cxoffice in which case the bottles would also remain intact in ~/.cxoffice unless you delete that folder as well.

Uninstalling the .rpm using "dnf erase crossover" also should not erase your bottles.

***However, I would still recommend archiving your bottles first (especially any you are particularly attached to) in case something goes wrong.

Thank you!
