I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling wine twice, and I still get the same error when I click "Browse C Drive". I think this may be one of the issues to why I cannot play the game Torchlight.
View 2 RepliesHow it works in Windows.
I have a server designated as F: drive. This server is a linux server. All computers that access this server are windows machines.
In windows, you can make a "Short Cut" that links a Executable program to the F: drive on the server. When you click on this "Short Cut", Windows will "Run" your program in the exact directory the Executable is located.
Thus, if you Make a "Short Cut" called "Customer" on your network F: drive, you can click on that shortcut and "Customer" will run as if you ran it directly off the F: drive, NOT your station drive of C:
Now *MY* scenario what I WANT to do:
I want to copy the above scenario and be able to do the same thing with Linux and WINE.
I have tried to make a "Shortcut" to my Linux laptop, but it fails. I can only "Copy" the program to the laptop. And when I run it on the laptop, it will not run, because it does not recognize the "F:" drive having all the data files, it only recognizes the C: drive of my linux.
When I tried to make a "link", it says something like "LInk not supported by this file".
So, is it possible to make a "shortcut" to a executable file on the network server, so that if you run the shortcut, it will run the program as if it is located on the F: server instead of the linux station? In Windows, it has a field that says "Target", in which the file will be ran in that directory.
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. I've looked through the various config files in ~home and /usr/share/wine, and can't find any parameter that might even remotely address this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a mapping app (Memory Map) + 25Gigs of maps on an NTFS drive on this computer. When I try to find maps it throws up the windows dialogs showing me whatever drives wine has configured eg
c: (something that Wine has invented and looks like a windows install)
d: (dvd drive)
z: this is the root of the linux drive
I dont know the linux file system very well I thought NTFS drives would appear under dev or mnt I have to use the gui to mount the NTFS drive each time (grrrr...) though I have installed NTFSConfig after some slight research that I thought would do the job for me a boot time.
Is this an issue with Wine, do I need to search through the Z: path until I find the NTFS file system, do I need to add a line to the mount script etc etc
I have a computer running linux zenwalk that is not connected to the internet. I have put the wine directory on my the computer with a flash drive. Could someone tell me how to make wine available to run on my computer? I don't care if I am installing, compiling, or just moving the wine directories. (The only thing I've ever compiled is java source code).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run You Don't Know Jack in wine - appdb says it has Platinum status, so compatibility shouldn't be the issue. My laptop doesn't have an optical disk drive. So, I ripped the disk to an iso image, mounted it with gmount-iso, and tried to open the program.
The program still says the disk is not inserted. I know on previous laptops with optical drives, I could mount an image on /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/sr0 or whatever and it would be recognized. My /dev directory had no cdrom0 directory, so I made one. I mounted the iso there but it still didn't recognize it. I've tried in my home folder, in /cdrom, and in my newly-created /dev/cdrom0 but no luck.
when I tried to install wine I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"so I looked for wine-gecko and download it but also when I tried to install it I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"it seems that I am in loop each package need the other what to do please?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI come from windows!!! For the life of me, I can't find the (Wine) install environment with the Thunar file manager. For some reason, after i installed wine it doesn't have a link that takes me to the C: drive that Thunar used to open so I could access what I installed thats only compatible with windows, such as World Of Warcraft. I'm bound and determined there has got to be another way to find it!
View 3 Replies View Relatedi want to run wine on opensuse11.2.
View 9 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.

Slack version is 13.37
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:

View 4 Replies View RelatedHere's a question about the wine emulator choices. I'm very happy using openSUSE Linux and I have installed a few applications, but only using the Yast2 methods and RPM groups. The latest available wine version on the Yast2 enabled installation is 1.1.28-2.3 which was built last October. The latest available wine version on the winehq.org web site is 1.1.44. How safe is it to use the non-Yast approach for a new user such as myself to try to install 1.1.44? [Acer Aspire 5520-5891 laptop,AMD Athlon 64x2 (TK57), NVIDIA GeForce 7000M]

View 9 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout every other release of wine in the Emulators build service lately seems to require an updated version of glibc that isn't available in any of my repositories, preventing me from upgrading currently I get:
Code:
nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11) needed by wine-1.1.42-31.3.i586 but earlier releases have had similar dependency issues, and this one doesn't seem like a safe one to ignore.
Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me? I've been grabbing GLIBC from the opensuse 11.2 Updates repo.
i have done everything that all the documentations have said and i still cant get this bloody thing working. some one give me the exact commands that removes all traces of all wine packages. and then can someone give me the exact commands to install.
which user i must be doing this under and exactly what i must configure in the config files. all that i want too accomplish by this is to successfully play games on my pc.
I'm running opensuse 11.2 since a few days. I installed wine to play some game. Originally I tried with the default version but since it didn't work I have installed a newer version from winehq website (just the same, an rpm package, supposedly for suse). In the mean time had a lot of stuff installed, like winetricks, or wine-doors, and the necessary wine software like directx or microsoft fonts.
After a couple of days the game is not working anymore so I have tried to remove everything and start from scratch. The problem is I can't remove wine. If I remove wine the dependency will say, it will remove package 'wine' and install 'wine-snapshot'. If I uninstall wine-snapshot it installs wine. And so on.
I'd just like to remove everything related so i can check and eventually manually delete rest of wine-related stuff to make sure it's all clean... reinstalling the game didn't help so I figured that wine is broken somehow.
I searched through this forum and the Wine DB before trying, but found so little real data that I decided to just try it. I got this far and would appreciate someone with more expertise looking at the result and what to try next.
