I've yummed Wine into existence on my Thinkpad R51 (1 gig ram, 32mg ATI MR7500 running Fed12/gnome 2.28) and it's very weak, choppy, slow, buggy. Is this just the nature of the beast or is my machine weak on ram and/or video?
View 7 RepliesI just installed Fedora 12 on my EEE PC has weaker wireless signal that I have previously had with any other linux distro or windows.Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anyway to increase to wireless signal?
View 3 Replies View RelatedToday I finally installed Fedora 11 on my new laptop. To my surprise wireless was working already, this was something very new. however, i realized that the ath9k had a very bad connectivity. I cant even connect to my router from my bedroom which is less then 10 metres away. Is there some remedy for this unstable module? I have tried madwifi but it doesn't seem to work with my card which is a Atheros AR9285. Hopefully someone can shed some light on how he/she overcame this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to fedora and installed wine to see if I could get the sony reader software working (required to access sony bookstore from my sony ereader). Well the program did not work though it did create icons on my desktop. wine kept crashing and I said lets just get rid of it. I uninstalled wine via yum remove and nothing appeared to happen so I did rpm -qa |grep wine and saw lots of stuff. So I simply did yum remove wine* and then a rpm -qa |grep wine was empty. however wine is still under applications on my desktop and still has a category for programs--reader. I should also mention that while wine was installed I attempted to remove the reader via the wine uninstalller but a) wine gave a message of a core crash and b) all the uninstaller did was give me the option to reinstall the reader program. so now when I attempt to open an epub it tries with the sony reader software. I know I can just right click to use another program but for now I want wine gone completely from my pc and the sony program gone.

Is there an additional way to prevent weak passwords? I heard of "John the ripper". Has anyone successful applied that?
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now the colors are off. I tried different themes which made some of the tabs more readable, but I don't see how to fix it. Things like background colors in Firefox are too light to see. The same for the grid lines in OpenOffice.org Spreadsheets. Form fields are not outlined. If you don't know where they are you have to hunt by dragging the pointer over the area.
Images look OK.
Does this sound like something others have seen?
I have volume on my SUSE 11.1 But it is very weak compared to my MS OS.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI understand that wireless is one of the most common problems with Linux, although I did not have this experience with past distributions or versions. After two years away from Ubuntu I installed 10.04 and everything is working fine except the wireless connection. Actually, it does work and connect, but goes up and down, loses connection and in most cases does not reconnect, unless I am 1 meter from the router. The room next door is already too far, a place where I normally have my laptop connecting perfectly with XP.

I am among those unfortunate wretches with an Atheros wireless card (ar5001) and I've had problems with it from the day I installed Ubuntu. I've been using Madwifi to connect to the internet, and it's worked fine, until I lately changed my internet connection, got a new modem etc.
Madwifi works still, but the signal is really weak - while not so on Windows Vista.
I know it's NOT ipv6 related. Do I have to change the connection settings? Is my card outdated or whatever? Am I using inefficient drivers? Should I just not use Madwifi and rather something else instead?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhile trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at [URL] like this :
dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't) After some googling I tried this :
dpkg -i --force-depends wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLot of questions about WINE... When I'm done I'm going to make a HOWTO so that others can do what I did It's hard work, but I'm nearly done.The last problem I'm having is the WINE menu on GNOME won't show up after a install of WINE from a .deb package (it usually does). This was after I compiled WINE from source and removed it with "make uninstall" and "rm -rf /.wine".So now I installed the WINE from a deb package and the Wine menu entry is not showing up.I've tried re-installing Wine and rebooting my PC but nothing seems to work.

I've followed alien bobs instructions for a multilib environment from here:[url]
And then used sbopkg to download and compile wine version 1.2.2, which went through just fine.
After that I grabbed cabextract from sbopkg and ran this: wget [url] sh winetricks d3dx9 To get the DX9.
But, when I try to run the game, this is the error I get:

I don't know if it's just my system, but after applying the latest Wine update, the mouse cursor in Wine windows is now purple/magenta/pink, whatever. Not a big problem, just annoying.

Im running Fedora 13 x86_64, I used to run the 32bits version, but I decided to get all I can from my 64bit procesor. Anyways, I have to run some aplications on Wine, like Microchip MPLAB software, for programing PICS, it used to workk perfectly fine on my 32 bits version, but ever since I installed the 64bits version, I can't get anything to work. Of course there are alternatives, but my coworkers use Windows, and MPLAb, alternatives have quite similar, but yet diferent sintaxis, so I kinda need to solve this, otherwise, I will have to migrate back to the 32bits version. I tryied o install some clumsy soft, but still, wine can't initialize anything. I tryied to install lots of libraries, but problably Im missing something.
