I successfully installed adobe digital editions on Linux but when I try to download from library I get the message " there is no application for Adobe Content Server message" files.  How can I fix this

Sorry. I dont know how to do that on Linux I have written in my last post what it said.

there are no reports of anyone else ever getting that message.  make sure it's an exact quote.  even typos decrease your chances of getting help.

I believe it is a requirement of Overdrive which our library uses for the distribution of eBooks.  I will contact the library technical support to see if they can give me a work around.  Thanks for your help. I may be back to you if this doesn't work out. Your earlier link led me to Wine and a special site to download Adobe Digital Editions. It installed fine but doesn't have the content server support. The library copy of ADE would not install on the Wine Crossover.

You may well find the older version of ADE works better on Wine, but no promises.

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.

(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)

Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
