Software :: 'wine' Which Can Be Used To Access Windows Programs?
Jan 27, 2010
installed sabayon 5 kde last week... am downloading game cd for sabayon gnome.. will i b able to use this on my sabayon kde? i was told there is 'wine' which can be used to access windows programs but i din find it in sabayon 5..
How can I uninstall / purge wine and any wine installed windows programs?I've tried deleting .wine (hidden folder)but in /usr/bin/ there are a number of wine related files.And wine sub menu still appears in Applications menu
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)
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?

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.
im using fedora 12 on my laptop and im trying too play battlefield 2 demo from [URL]... the installation worked quite nicely but when i go to play the demo the aplikation comes up saying loading battlefield 2 demo.exe than it vanishes is there anything i need to install to get this program to work?
I 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?
was a regular windows user for ~10 years now, but my current pc wasnt installing windows for some reason so i switched to linux to try it out. I've been trying to run a few small games here and there to keep me entertained, and wine just isnt agreeing with me ... Any program i try to open with wine, it says "opening _____________" in the taskbar, and then NOTHING HAPPENS! This is really irritating me, becuase if i got an error message i could try to figure out whats wrong, but when NOTHING AT ALL happens
I have just started using ubuntu 10.10 and have installed wine, however when I try to run windows programs located in the program file folder of my windows partition they get blockedI have tried changing the permissions to allow then to run as executables but the check box in the permissions tab won't stay checked
Im 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.

I recently installed slackware 13 on my system and then i went to slackbuilds and installed wine now when i try to install software through wine it will run the installer for the software fine and say the programs are installed but when I go to run the programs nothing happens
I 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 am facing some unusual issue while trying to run any WIN32 applications through WINE in my Ubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop. As you may see from the attached image, my system reports that executable bit is blocked.I am unable to run any Win32 applications after this.Though I dont use any Windows applications from the day I switched to Ubuntu. But I am keeping this ready just in case if I have to run any ever
I installed Wine and Mathcad on it. Then, when I tried to uninstall Mathcad, I couldn't do it. Tried to uninstall Wine, restarted, and there is still a Wine folder with Mathcad on it in the applications menu.Because I need to reinstall Wine from scratch and then reinstall Mathcad with the details I missed the first time around
I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10 and the version of Wine in the standard repository. In the past, when I've installed wine, it automatically gave me a Programs menu from which I could launch all the Windows programs I installed. That menu is now missing.I tried uninstalling Wine, removing the ~/.wine folder, and removing all references to wine and wine programs in ~/.local/share... with no effect.can't get the Programs menu to come back.
I installed iTunes 7 through Playonlinux that then installed it on WINE. Itunes 7 installed but wont mount my iPhone so now I want to uninstall iTunes7.When I type in "wine uninstaller" in the terminal it opens the uninstall frame for me but the list of programs installed is empty.How do I uninstall this program then ?This is a 60mb program i dont want to be sitting on my hard drive doing nothing.I do not want to uninstall WINE, only itunes7 that was installed in wine.From my search it seems that uninstalling wine dont unsinstall programs installed in wine and when wine is reinstalled the program you installed previously is still there
After reading Bodhi's Ubuntu security sticky, I removed the links between WINE and the various folders. However, I've lost the menu items for my programs.
The menu no longer has MS Office in there and the only way to launch these is to do into .wine and launch it from there.

I'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.
I have been having an issue getting the menu listings for uninstalled Wine programs to actually get removed from the menu. I can deselect/hide them, but it will not delete them.Anyone else having this problem? How can I get rid of all the icons? It seems that it almost creates one every time I use a Wine to open something.
I can't remove nor uninstall the wine programs. I have tried the uninstaller that comes with wine but it doesnt work. How can I remove them from the start menu and the uninstall list as if they never existed on my pc? The only thing I can do is to remove the files.
I'm very new at Linux and I was told that to run Microsoft program it was needed wine but sins been so new I cat figure it out how to make wine work in gnome.
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?
I'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.
