View 5 RepliesWhen I install wine the add/remove program wants to install both 86_64 and i686 files. I have the x86_64 version of Fedora 14. I am having problems with counterstrike and have installed it using Wine, have noted problems when both types of files are installed.
I would like to have Fedora set up just right but as with all Linux distros, am having trouble keeping my head above water with fc14. I have success up to a point and then want to go back to Windows for its simplicity. Just this wine problem
The only MS program I need on my computer is Word 2007 for the equation editor to write/edit files from work. So after installing Wine I installed MSOffice2007. Excel worked OK (although I don't need it - I am perfectly happy with the Libre Office spreadsheet). Word however froze each time so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it. However I always got an error message when trying to uninstall with Wine. So I followed the advice of some strands in this forum and deleted the Program Files folder from the ~.wine directory. However the menus are still in Wine/Programs/Microsoft Office even though they lead to nowhere. I tried to reinstall but still I nothing happened. I presume the old entries still lead to the position where previously the .exe files were located. Now my question is either how can I remove these menu entries and try installing again - or even better - is there a Linux programme that can read/edit the equations written in Word 2007?
View 4 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.

I 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 4 Replies View Relatedi tried to install wine in SLED11 but i got this error : configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want.You will need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least. Use the --without-x option if you really want this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI setup wine using the yum command which installed 1.1.14 fine. But I get problems when I try to run utorrent (the text is buggered) so I need to install the latest version 1.1.41. Using yum update wine doesn't work. I tried downloading the latest version from the wine website but I can't get it to install. I try to run the wineinstall shell script but it starts ok but then comes up with an error and closes before I can even see what the error is.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 want to completly remove wine, so i figured that using the package manager, and apt-get remove will make it work. Using apt-get, i get the message that there is no wine installed, even though the package manager is telling me the opposite. After that i removed wine via the package manager, but i can still run wine. And that is the point where i am getting completly lost, how the hack can i run a removed program? I did compile and install wine myself once, so the problem might hide there. But how to i remove a program without the routines of the package manager?

It's a box with no printer and will never see one, so I see no need to have it. I know it's not using much space, but I don't want it if I don't need it. Is there a way to remove libwine-print without removing wine?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use iTunes and poker sites on my acer aspire one with linux linpus lite. I've followed previous threads and learned how to add/remove programs and I've downloaded wine. My wine programs show up under 'other' and I have: wine configuration; wine file; wine boot; wine software ininstaller and winhelp (not sure if the last is wine or not) Just can't navigate my way through any of these to find how to actually RUN wine. Also, if you think this is not the best way to fully use poker websites (I'm not happy with the iphone style no download play) or iTunes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the new Notepad++ version 5.7 from the regular Sourceforge website and wanted to install it with Wine (Wine 1.2). So far, I always just doubleclicked on it and ran a normal Windows installation process directly in Ubuntu (10.4). however, now I get this crap:
The file '/home/XYZ/Desktop/npp.5.7.Installer.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using Wine to run some Windows applications (GraphicsGale, Angelcode Bitmap Font Generator, etc.) but it's a bit annoying to have Ubuntu always tell me that .EXE files are not executable, and a bit nonsensical since, by definition, they are.
Right now, every time I download an installer .EXE I have to first manually set the executable flag in the file's properties. This is a bit annoying. Is there some way I can set Ubuntu to automatically register .exe files as executables?
I installed WINE onto my Ubuntu Lucid v10.04 LTS workstation. Now I want to remove it completely.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Fallout 1 by Interplay. I have the .ISO of the game.
I've mounted it to a directory I created (/home/temp), using Gmount
But, when I use the GUI, and right click on the "install.exe" and choose Open With Wine. It just opens a terminal, than promptly closes it.
So, I tried to run it in a terminal. I went to the directory where the ISO is mounted, and used the command
wine install.exe
and it gives me:
err:dosmemOSMEM_MapDosLayout Need full access to the first megabyte for DOS mode
Also, when I mount the .ISO using Gmount, I get the error;
An error occured
Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
I can also open the autorun.exe using wine. But when I click the install button in the autorun menu, it says I have to install DirectX. When I click yes, it gives me the generic windows crash.
"The program your using has encountered a problem and needs to close. yada yada yada."
Choosing 'no' when prompted to install DirectX, just gives me a blank screen, with no response.
Push ESC three times, and my desktop appears again, and everything is responding.
