OpenSUSE :: Running Win Apps Under Wine?
Jun 12, 2011
There are some apps for win that run on wine just with an ordinary install procedure. There are others that will never work at all. But there are also some that wine users claim to have made run by changing some specific configuration of wine, using some trick or even creating scripts on playonlinux.
So if I try to run an app on wine and it doesn't and I don't find any user documentation about some specific trick or config for that app what adjustments can I do to try to make it run? I mean, it's tiring and perhaps foolish to spend hours playing with every possible config in wine frontend without knowing what I'm doing. So what can I do to find out what libraries, configs, tricks or scripts are needeed to make an app run under wine if it didn't at the first try?

I'm somewhat knew to Linux (CentOS), so WINE is completely foreign to me also. I'm immediately interested in TaxAct, which is how I learned about WINE. My question is whether my system will maintain the same stability that Linux is known for, and whether my CentOS build will keep it's current RHEL integrity after I install WINE, and probably other Windows Apps. Your experience with WINE is coveted.

Im comming from ubuntu/mint and one of the things I got used too was doing something like "sudo nautilus" or "sudo gedit" and similar things. In Suse 11.3 I always get errors like the following
(gedit:6115): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
kate: cannot connect to X server
Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:
or similar variations of these.What can I so to prevent this from happening? even if I do "su" and try from there it doesnt always work.I like Suse as it feels more professional then ubuntu, but I am trying to make it as user friendly.

I had some problems which were were already as bugs on which kde4.4.4 crashed and since than I lost this functionality. I cannot say if I have any apps running if they were all minimized as they don't appear on the taskbar. I can switch through them via Alt-Tab.

For the longest time DVD and MP3 playback have haunted me. I fully understand the idea behind open source and not packaging the codecs with the OS. My question is this: I am running openSUSE 11.2 on my lappy. When I try to follow steps online to install all the necessary codecs, plugins and applications. I always seem to run into dependency problems. Can ANYONE out there give a step by step walk through of installing and running all the necessary files, codecs, apps. from a fresh install that has worked for them to get media to work in suse 11.2? For the sake of example and trying to get this process done right lets assume that I have installed suse fresh on my system and want to play DVD's and listen to MP3's.

Im running suse 11.2 on a gateway lt3103u during boot i noticed the screen goes dim. i thought nothing of it untill i tried to watch *ahem* educational video *ahem*. ive found that no matter what program i use xine vlc or anything else that video sets the screen to dim as if it were in power saving mode. this problem also occurs when i close the lid. it locks the screen into dim mode. in both cases i can use both Fn keys and the power management widget to reset it to bright, but this problem is annoying having to keep turning it back u to see.

I have a problem running a game on a fresh Slackware64 install.
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:
Code:
The game it self ran perfectly on the 32 bit version of Slackware, tested with 13.0. So now I think I'm missing some libs or something, but I have no clue which.

I just installed Fedora 12 86_64, and Wine won't run any software that I attempt to install. It just says opening file, and after a few seconds disappears. The same software that I was running in Wine f10 is not running in 12.

I've just installed Debian 8.2 KDE 64bit, installed wine, and found that a 32-bit Windows program (Agent newsreader) could not see the linux system fonts. (This worked fine on Kubuntu 14.04)
Since this is the first time that I've installed Debian, I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious or if this is an actual bug.
Steps to reproduce:
Fresh install of Debian 8.2 KDE 64bit.
apt-get install wine
wine wordpad # this is a small word-processor for wine that is supplied with wine
menu -> format -> font
all linux fonts are visible -- so far so good
Because I want to use a 32bit program, I now have to do this, I understand:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install wine-bin:i386
But after that,if I run "wine wordpad" and look at the fonts, all the linux system fonts are gone. The only fonts visible are the nine that are built into wine (Courier, Fixedsys, Marlett etc..) So installing the i386 wine support seems to have broken something.

After installing Maverick 64 bit (clean install, used to be 32 bit Lucid) any applications I run in WINE disappear when I minimize them. They don't crash, they're just impossible to reach as they're no longer in task manager, they don't show up through alt-tab but I can see them if I run ps -x from a terminal. I tried with mIRC and the client is still responding, it'll still accept files with auto-get on so it's working fine, but the UI is gone

I am unable to print from Wine applications (including Notepad) because Wine thinks I have no printers installed. I have a network printer and print-to-file both working fine in normal KDE applications. I did some looking around and found the following:http://www.witch.westfalen.de/Wine-H...intconfig.html
This is very old, and probably very out of date. I also had trouble following the examples. In any case I don't have anything called winerc or wine.conf. I just have a .wine directory.
Supposedly I should have registry keys for printers in Wine, so I looked where those are supposed to be. I have two keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetContro lPrintPrinters: (Default) and DefaultSpoolDirectory. Perhaps if I added the right key here I could get Wine to notice CUPS? I wouldn't begin to know what to put though.
http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-g...s-to-configure claims that Wine should "just work" with CUPS. So much for that. It also says that if it doesn't work with CUPS it falls back to look in /etc/printcap. I have one of those, but it doesn't contain anything except the default comment telling me not to edit the file. Maybe if there's a way to regenerate /etc/printcap to contain the printers that show up in KDE, Wine would notice. Again, I have no clue how to do that.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 x64, and I'm using Wine 1.2, not Wine 1.0. All my packages are completely up to date.

I got tired of having to boot in Windows XP to run a couple of apps that don't run in Wine. I've heard a bout a virtual machine, virtualbox and all of that. Sorry, I need a crash course. What do I need to download/install? Do I need a WXP live CD or something like that?

What should I do to clear WINE state in my system if it's already flooded with installed Win apps and lots of registry configs? Like WINE has just been installed and nothing more. No Windows apps, no configurations were made, clear registry, etc... Is it enough just to delete "~/.wine"?

my wife needs the 'horrible' dos because she uses - Russian - programs written for windows only.
i suppose:
they - the Russians - never discovered the linux-os (very surprising)
or
she - my wife - got the wrong version.
my Q:
is there an easy way to run windows-progs on ubuntu 10.04 ?

i'm trying to run a graphical program at a specific time with the help of 'at'. i'm on kubuntu but i think this will be the same on any *buntu.
because 'at' is such a common word. i found this bug [URL] but the mentioned work around doesn't work.
i can make at work with command line if i enter the a tty to make the output to.
example of what i do is:
Code:
$ at now
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> date > /dev/tty1
at> <EOT> (CTRL+d)
[Code]....

In Karmic, I could run an app as user gdm by issuing the following command (assume the app is gconf-editor)
Code:
gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor
Now that I've switched to Marverick when I issu the same command I get this:
Code:
towheed@GA1A4CH:~$ gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor
No protocol specifiedNo protocol specified
** (gconf-editor:19812): CRITICAL **: Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
I checked my environment variable DISPLAY using:
Code:
towheed@GA1A4CH:~$ echo $DISPLAY
and it returned:
Code:
:0.0
Now I ran the command:
Code:
gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor --display=:0.0
and got the same error as before.Has either or both dbus-launch or gksudo changed their behavior os is this a bug. Note that the command does not work with any applications being run as the user gdm.

I have a simple home network consisting of 2 laptops - one is a linux box and the other runs windows and linux with a dual boot setup.I develop my web apps on the linux box but would like to test them out on the windows machine using IE7. I have abandoned the idea of doing this in Linux using wine since in the real world this is unrealistic

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.

I'm trying to run a library compiled in a 32bit Linux (CentOS) environment on my Fedora11 64bit image. I ran into a few issues with dependencies such as gcc, xml2, ssl plus a whole stack more that existed in /lib64 and no/lib where the binary was expecting them. After a bit of reading around, I found I needed to install the .i586 version of each of the dependencies. After adding most of them, I was left with libssl, libcrypto and libxml2. When I tried to do the following
Code:
yum install openssl.i586
I got an error stating it could not be copied due to a conflict with the i686 version. I was going to erase the i686 but it was going to remove a ton of other stuff so I created a symbolic link in /lib to point to 64bit version. Eventually, ldd had no missing dependencies so I figured I was good to go. I now get the following errors when I call my library
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpalo_ng.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
PHP is installed and working and the libpalo_ng.so.0 is in the /lib folder

I have 4 workspaces set up and they appear on the bottom menu bar. Usually I can switch to each and see what's running in each, even if the apps are minimised. Now I can only see what hasn't been minimised, and I can't see or return to the ones that are minimised... System Monitor shows the minimised apps are running... I was poking around gconf editor late the other night and I must have altered a setting but I have no idea which. I've looked through docs etc but can't find a solution.

After downloading a Chrome (for Linux of course) installation package via FireFox. Opening it from Downloads, entering the Administrator password. Then clicking on the " Install Package " button in the " Package Installer " window, I get a message:
"Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time, please close the other application 'synaptic', 'aptitude', or 'update manager' first."
I see no evidence of these apps or any others running & I got rid of the Firefox. Are these " Other Apps " hidden somewhere, how do I determine this?

I really do not know how to phrase this question properly. I am quite unaware of the PC jargon. But I have Ubuntu as the main OS and Mandriva is the second OS on the same hard disk. The boot loader is the Ubuntu. When I want to switch to Mandriva, on boot up I press Shift and then select the kernel.However, if I am on Ubuntu and want to run an application which resides on Mandriva, how do I do that? My fstab file does not even mention Mandriva. However, the file system does show up that file and I can open any files I need by clicking on GUI "Places". But when I try to run any of its applications by clicking the appropriate file on its /bin file nothing happens. A pop-up window briefly flashes and disappears. So my questions are:
1. First how can I change directory so that I am on Mandriva. Can' cd ...something' take me to that file because I see it in "Places" as a 36Gb file system?
2. How can I run an application which resides on that file system e.g., R or Octave which I do not have installed on Ubuntu, without rebooting into Mandriva.
3. Can I do this from command line.
4. And finally, can I do the same from Mandriva i.e., access Ubuntu from it.
I did read quite a bit about mounting files and fstab, but the fstab does not show the file system I am talking about. These are the outputs from Ubuntu os.

I want to write something that will run apps in succession.For example, you'd click on the app icon,and it would start up one application, have questions alert the user to add a file to do something in that program, run that program & finish. Then open up another program to take that file and prompt the user to do something else with it, and so on.Basically I have a friend who needs an auto, completely easy interface to accomplish certain tasks that require multiple application steps to perform.

I have lucid and jack almost the way I want. I can't get apps like flash (in firefox) and rhythmbox to run through JACK. I've followed some outdated guides on the forums here, but I haven't had any luck.
I set up gstreamer to use jackaudiosink, but no luck.
If you ask me, JACK + ALSA should be the default, with maybe a simplified or automated control system for people who don't want to exploit their might
I hate having to close up a massive JACK patch just to watch a quick movie, or having to close Pidgin so JACK will start.
