View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm a new Fedora user and I having difficulty with the product.I downloaded both the live cd and dvd of F13. I installed F13 from the live cd and after it completed I created my user name and then rebooted. Once I logged in I went to Administration -> add/remove program. I then clicked on package collections and ticked off the ones that I wanted. I then clicked on the APPLY button and I noticed that in the lower left corner of the screen (below the left panel and just above the Help button) it said Running and then nothing. If I attempt to close the screen it says that all selections will be lost. I also went back and set the filter to list "all installed" and the programs that I had selected were in the list.I then decided to try the dvd iso, so I blew everything away and installed F13 from there, but I encountered the same thing.So I'm at a loss what I'm doing incorrectly
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have in the past few months managed to get several people to switch to Linux just on the merits of its educational programs and games alone. Many people who are interested in educational programs for their children do not know where to find them for windows, and even when they do find them, they cost money, and might be worth nothing. So, i started looking into this on Linux, and did only minimal research on the available programs and games that are educational. I wound up already building 3 new computers that use Fedora, and getting several other people who already have a computer to switch to Fedora, just by making a video on how to use most of the educational programs that are available. This made it easier for those people to learn how to use the programs, especially for those that are not that intuitive, and it also showed them just what was available. [URL]

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed WINE to get some old games to work on my Ubuntu box. (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)I tried downloading some demos and it says BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX and to read the executable bit. I did, and it says it will NOT install any programs downloaded from the internet. I thought 'fine, I guess they have to be retail games' so I popped the disk in and it tells me the same thing. Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIm having a little problem removing wine programs.
Firstly i tried going into the wine menu and selecting uninstall under the programs tab in the menu, it said it was successfully uninstalled but if failed to remove anything.
Then i tried "uninstall wine software" under the wine tab and that still didn't change anything.
Finally i tried removing wine itself with "sudo apt-get remove wine" again it said wine was successfully removed, and again nothing changed wine and all its programs are still here.
Since Lunbuntu does not have any graphical interface to create destktop shortcuts for programs, could someone tell me plz how can I create shortcuts for wine applications from empty files?

View 11 Replies View RelatedNew to fedora and a bit stuck atm. I got Fedora 11 installed ok and working fine. I then installed Oracle, Adobe Reader and Opera. All seemed to go ok. On booting the machine today, it booted fine, but when I click on places->computer or places-network or firefox or the file browser all I get is the arrow with the ring spinning around it for a bit and then nothing.
So, I tried to start up Firefox from a terminal and I get:
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 : version 'GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdcc+.so.6)
I get a few errors when I try and start opera, but one of them is the same as above. I tried nautilus - same thing. I'd be willing to bet it's the same for places->computer and places->network but I don't know how to start those up from the terminal. Part of the install instructions I followed have almost certainly caused it, but I don't know how to reverse them, this is what I did:
"unzip Oracle_Access_Manager10_1_4_0_1_linux_GCClib.zip
This gives you 2 files:
libgcc_s.so.1
libstdc++.so.5
Now move the libgcc_s.so.1 file to /lib/libgcc_s.oracle.so.1
sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.oracle.so.1
And the most important one:
sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.oracle.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.so
(Even after the ldconfig command is given in the reboot fase, the link for /lib/libgcc_s.so remains!)
Then you have to rename the /usr/lib/gcc/i586-redhat-linux/4.4.1/libgcc_s.so to /usr/lib/gcc/i586-redhat-linux/4.4.1/libgcc_s_so
Otherwise /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 will be used in link and not /lib/libgcc_s.so, therefore the link will fail
Now you can start the installer by
./runInstaller.sh
And the linking will succeed."
Some windows programs won't run after I have installed them with Wine. They either won't run or they make the screen go to a black painting screen (screen goes black and you can paint over it with your mouse to make the desktop reappear). I have tried changing the windows version and made no difference. I have even tried opening it in a virtual window and made no difference (Window opens then closes)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI seem to recall that there is a utility that sets up and manages completely different Wine installations for different programs. People use it primarily for games, so that the necessary tweaks and config options that work well for one game do not interfere with another.
I can't remember the name of it, though, and no amount of searching has reminded me.
I installed a few windows programs with Wine however they dont start up. When I click on them in the Wine folder, a tab on the bottom of the screen says Opening "program name" then it just sits there then disappears and the program doesn't open. However if I click uninstall for the certain program it opens up and lets me uninstall it. Whats going on?

I finally got around to installing Linux on my laptop the other day, and I'm trying to use Wine to run some windows apps. Problem is, my programs never appear. They DO start - I can see them in 'ps -e' as well as Gnome System Monitor. Yet the window never appears. It's not just one program either; first I tried running Steam from the terminal and I can tell that it successfully launches. The window just doesn't get drawn. All other windows become unfocused when it launches and I'm even able to type in my password to log in (I know this because after I hit enter the "Steam Login" entry disappears from the taskbar and the "Steam" entry appears in it's place) but no Steam related windows ever appear.
The second program I've been trying to emulate is EVE Online. Similar thing happens: The EVE splash screen DOES appear, along with it's entry in the taskbar, but when it closes, the EVE client never becomes visible - no taskbar entry this time either. Again, I can see it running in ps -e or System Monitor, and one of my CPUs cores becomes maxed out, so I know it's running. Also, I just noticed that I can right click Steam's invisible entry in the tray and bring up the context menu, but nothing more than that. I've heard of fonts being invisible/incorrect under Wine, but not the entire program! I've googled and tried running things in compatibility mode for various versions of windows, but have had no progress. What am I missing?
Debian Lenny
Wine 1.0.1-174-gc4039bd
Gnome (with and without Compiz)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble getting all my wines programs to work together. When I change workspace or minimize dvd decrypter it disappears but is still running in the background, this is fixed by running it in an emulated desktop but I would like to have it working without the emulated desktop. When I have dvd decrypter in an emulated desktop and autogk running if I close dvd decrypter it closes all wine apps. I think wine shuts down everything when its emulated desktop is closed.
