Im just trying to do my tax for this year using etax through wine on ubuntu 11.04. It seemed to install correctly and starts up through the shortcut as normal. I can fill out my details and proceed through a few different screens till i get to the "Rollover Function" screen (about 8th or 9th). Then no matter what i press, YES or NO, it does nothing. I can not get it to next screen to start filling out income details etc.
Is there a way to easily make the command key function as the control key on a macbook pro in these modern times of 2011? I tried one of the command-line based tutorials and couldn't get it to work. Seeing as I have little idea as to what I was doing, I'm going to need a gui. But come Natty, nothing appears to be working. I would think that this is a common question, so I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking.
I'm very much interested in running Ubuntu (64bit) on the new 15" macbook pro (8,2), but I would like to get a bit more info about it. So if you own a 15" macbook pro.
Following questions: 1) Can you switch of the AMD Radeon GPU to save power? 2) Does the Thunderbolt port allow you to use an external monitor? 3) What is the battery life under Ubuntu? (describe your usage)
Some more 'advanced' questions: 4) Is the quadcore benificial for running full disk encryption (due to the extended AES in Intel's 2.2 i7 cpu)? 5) What kind of IO throughput do you get with and without full disk encryption (please describe if you use SSD or HD incl RPM) 6) Can you tell me the exact type of Broadcom wireless chip used for wifi?
i've been using Linux for a couple of years it's always been Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint environments which i can just about find my way arround in.Because i wanted to try something new and was unhappy with the last development in Ubuntu i've looked arround and decided to try my luck with a KDE based distro, Pardus came accross well in the reviews.So, i'm now in Pardus but can't find my "trusted newsreader (binaries/nzb's)" PAN in the repo's.To be honest i can't find an awefull lot in the repo's, i have tried adding a couple of German based repositories but dissapointingly still no Pan.
Google, normally a mine of information has let me down aswell, so now i'm asking the Linux community for a little shared wisdom.If anyone could shed a little light for me, i'd be really gratefull - especially if you'd be kind enough point out how to install Pan if it can be found.Pretty shamefull when you realise just how little you really know when stepping out of the comfort zone.

I'm after a replacement program for when I make the jump from Windows on my main machine. I'm looking for a MSN/WLM client which supports the protocol used for Video Chat in the 2011 version. I have tried aMSN a couple of months back but it doesn't seem to work with the new protocol, has this issue been fixed? Or is there an alternate program to use?
I tried upgrading to Hugin 2011. (latest stable) and it turned out that the panorama preview window did not properly draw the preview. Image flickers only quickly or is not drawn at all. For a not so great video of this see [URL]...
I tried switching to open source ATI drivers but for some reason I was unsuccessful in purging the ATI driver. I tried different computer with Inter hardware and it worked OK. If anyone happens to be using latest Hugin with ATI hardware can you comment on if the preview window works OK. I would like to get some more feedback to maintainers and to know if just proprietary ATI driver or Radeon HD5650 is affected. I am running lucid, but info from other releases is relevant.
yesterday I updated my squeeze amd64 on my Phenom X4 and now it is not booting anymore. Have you experienced the same problem?
After that I noticed the shutdown was not working anymore, it just restarted instead of powering down. This morning it wouldn't boot squeeze anymore, when grub starts and prints "Welcome to grub" (or something like that) the list of operating systems is not shown.
I noticed the updated also included grub and I saw it correctly detected my operating systems.
I am planning to boot knoppix soon and try to reinstall grub from chroot, but currently I am at work.

I just got this used computer with Lucid Puppy 5.1 on it, it is an old IBM desktop from way back. Anyway i want to install Windows Live Essentials or at least some kind of MSN on it for IM chat. Is this possible ? You may email me at [URL].. or write back to me here.
CentOS using yum to update Exim. Exim is configured to not allow remote connections using the local_interfaces config option.My old version was 4.63-5.el5_5.2 and after using:
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
while 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 :
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.

maybe my questions sounds funny: i'm looking for a very small (or better as small as necessary) distro which runs in a virtual box an starts wine.The reason is: we have new laptops in my school runnig windows7 64bit home and we have some software which runs only on WinXP. So why not take a virtualbox wich runs wine to start the old Software?
Lot 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.
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 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 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.
I opened KPackageKit in my new Fedora system. I want to get wine. The description says "A Windows 16/32/64 bit emulator". But wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.
I am trying to use xfire with wine. I downloaded the xfire installer and i already have wine installed, and i right clicked the xfire installer and opened it with wine, i followed all the steps to install, and when i finished and tried to open xfire, nothing happened.
as soon as i start a windows app or go into the wine config the sounds coming out of ubuntu just stop and the only way to get them back is to restart. does anyone know how to fix this?
I went to the Wine HQ website & I did the step by step how to install wine on Ubuntu 9.10. This is the log from the terminal

I have uploaded a newer edition of WINE through a ppa to 'sysyem-admin-software sources', but would like to know how to update wine so that it utilises this ppa upgrade as i cannot get linux to recognise the update.
I'm trying to uninstall wine. I did everything i could to get it uninstalled, and I think it really is unintsalled, but the problem is when I go to "Applications" the Wine tab is still there, just without the logo. I even deleted the whole .wine folder. now what? how do I get rid of everything? oh and along the way I might have accidently deleted some web fonts? I was't even sure if i did, but more and more things are times new roman, and I know that they are not supposed to be. how do I restore that?
