Ubuntu :: How To Get MS Paint To Open With Wine By Default
Apr 19, 2010
I have been using linux for a few months now and I love Ubuntu 9.10. I found a link to mspaint.exe and it works fine in wine. It can be found here: [URL]. I downloaded it, and then extracted the file to "/home/christopher/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paint/". Then in that folder, I right click the file "MSPAINT.exe" and selected "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" and it opens just fine and works perfectly.
I want to put it in the menu panel under "Applications-Wine-Programs-Accessories". I tried doing it by right clicking the menu panel and editing menus, but I dont know how to make the file "MSPAINT.exe" automatically open with Wine. For some reason, when I got Project64 and a few other apps I didn't run into this problem because they were automatically put into the menu and opened with Wine by default.
I recently installed an image editor that I am fond of via Wine. It works fine but now I want to make it the default program when I open an image. I know for most programs how to change this but when I installed this via Wine it is not listed as one of my options for other programs to open that type of file. How do I change the default program to open a file when it's not listed?
Ubuntu community: I have desktop running 10.04 with a 160 GB HDD (150 ext4, 6.5gd swap) that is slowly becoming a file/print server. I decided to add a 500 gb hard drive and thought I should seek some advice before formatting and partitioning it. The network its on is shared with windows and Ubuntu machines. I do plan on adding more HDD's down the road as they fill up fast. I just didn't want to paint myself into a corner by not planning this out.
Something seems to be replacing some portions of the default gui appearance in gnome with the old win98 look... Wine maybe? I have wine installed and I use it for a few of my pld windows programs, but all the programs in the screenshot are native linux programs...
everytime when i click open with wine it says: Quote:The file '/home/jordan/Downloads/*******.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
Right clicking and Open With Wine does nothing. Using Terminal and browsing to the folder and putting in $ wine AudioStudio90.exe brings up these errors. Is it going to be possible to run it through Wine at all and what will I have to do?

(Does this site have e a tag on here similar to the Spoiler one that hides some or all text before clicked on? Useful for bug reports and entering reams of information.
have bought the game Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 from Trymedia.com and Gamestop.com, and whenever I download the .exe file, I can never open it. I tried the .exe file in Windows and it is a program set to download the actual Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 game.I have tried it alone with Wine AND with PlayonLinux.
I don't have wine installed. But I use teamviewer [URL] to remote support my friends. Teamviewer provide an "linux version" using wine wrapper. Every time I run it, some mime types such as .jpg, .wmv, .txt, .ini, v.v... was set to be handle by a "A Wine application". So, nothing happen when I open those file, I have to reset their handler to proper linux application.
1. How can I completely remove those "A wine application" handler? Is there a tool, or a settings applet in gnome that allow me to do that. Currently, I have to find those files in nautilus, right click and change the open with settings, that's frustrated.
2. Can I lock mime type handling settings from being changed by some application? Or even lock it from any changed at all? I don't mind remove the write permission from some settings file, I won't likely to change my current mime type handling settings in near future.
I'm sorry for my stupid questions, but I'm quite new in linux world. does anybody that had already installed gnome-paint could help me?? i don't know how to start the installation.
Is there any good paint program on Linux, besides kolourpaint which is KDE and thus brings an awful lot of baggage into non-KDE systems?
(This is mainly with my lubuntu-on-USB in mind. The 300MB for kolourpaint and all its dependencies is not acceptable when there's only 4GB for the whole OS)
I can't stand mtPaint, it behaves very unlike most applications and I'm unable to figure how to do even simple tasks like colour picking or resizing a selection. GIMP is good but it's complex and overkill for simple tasks. Anything else?
At work, I use MS Outlook 2007 via CrossOver (Wine). All of my links from Outlook (and probably all other crossover apps) open a new Firefox window instead of a new tab in Firefox. Links in native apps do not work this way.
I m installing need for speed world under wine. so the setup goes fine but than when i try to open it it will not open if this is important i am running ubuntu 11.04 unity
I have been trying to get Wine to work in Fedora and have had nothing but problems. First of all, I can't open executables in the GUI. If I try, I get a message that says, "The program start.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
I can open .exe's in the terminal, but when I tried to install iTunes it wasn't able to complete the installation. I got an error message from SELinux that said something about a memory error, and then it asked me if I wanted to turn off some sort of memory management setting. I said yes and it asked me for my password, which I gave, and then it said "unable to grant access". It no longer gives me this error message (that's why I can't recall what it said verbatim), and instead just hangs at the point where I got the error message before. I've tried using Wine in Ubuntu before and could never get anything working in a half-decent way, so this isn't a big surprise.
1. In windows, you can create batch files. I know Shell files are the equivalent of that in linux, but how do i create one?I tried creating a text document, typing echo Test, and saving it as .shell but it came up with a empty terminal.
2.How do i add the Right Click> Open With WINE, like there was in Ubuntu. I currently have to go through terminal and type Wine ProgramName, which i am fine with, but I want shortcuts (reason for asking about batches)
3. Finally, how do i add programs to the KDE Menu? I made a custom menu, but when i try and send a program to it, it works unless its a windows executable, which what i'm using is, how can i still add it? The Program is Brutus AE2, and i want to add it the KDE with the command "Wine" so when you click it it launches a terminal, enters Wine BrutusA2.exe and runs?
I'm doing so because my doubt is with regards to running a windows app in linux. I am a freelance writer and use article spinning software like "TheBestSpinner" occasionally. Usually I log into windows XP (I have a dual boot) for this. I am however trying to see if it is possible for me to run this software in linux using wine. I am still relatively a newbie in linux as I have been using Mint 10 for only 6 months. I'm am familiar with the command line but generally use the GUI mostly. I installed the software but when I tried to run the .exe file I got an error that said that I had to install mono for windows. I did that too and installed it inside wine. I am now getting an error that I am unable to resolve by myself because google is not helping me. I am posting the output of what I get when I try running it below.
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! fixme:dwmapiwmIsCompositionEnabled 0x33bc74 ** (TheBestSpinner.exe:27): WARNING **: mono_class_from_mono_type: implement me 0xb6 ** ERROR:class.c:5162:mono_class_from_mono_type: code should not be reached
Since ugprading today to a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.04 I am unable to open .exe's through Thunar my file manager with 'WINE Program Loader'
Wine 1.2.2.
When I try to i receive the error:
Quote:
The file '/media/DUMP/Downloads/anything.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
When I check the permissions tab of properties there is no option to make it executable as per screenshot.
Also using chmod +x doesn't change anything but I am able to open .exe using WINE in the terminal but I would rather I did not have to do this every time I use WINE.
I have no intention of using mIRC, it was just a small windows installer I downloaded for testing.
When i was fixing some with Apache i set /tmp to chmod 777 and now when i try to open Wine it complains that the settings are wrong :PHow do i reset the chmod and chown settings on /tmp?
Just wondering if this is possible? Total n00b with linux, this is my *thinking* 3rd week using Ubuntu 9.10. And I am using my system for surfing the web, listen to music, video`s and chatting. And I got the "funny" tough`t of trying to maybe play World of Warcraft again on this computer. Yes I have run it before when I had XP and W7 on it. The w7 experience on this computer was a bad mistake. So yeah, the thing I am really wondering on is this: Wine, WoW with WoTLK ( Wrath of the Lich King ), with the newest Open Source ATI graphic driver?[URL].. According to that page (you have to Ctrl-F and "Open source ATI drivers" to find the what I mean ) it is possible, but I am wondering on how to do it?[URL].. and been reading on different sites that you can play games with wine in a new X. Curious on how that can be done, and if that MAYBE is the best thing to do with my Wow game. Havent installed it YET, thinking of downloading the web installer after this post. If the moderators should find this is the wrong place for this to be asked, move it to the "Wine" section, if its better placed there.
Im trying to install Yahoo site builder using wine... the problem is that this program needs java. I tried to install java using wine but it just wont run. Native linux java doesnt works...
Heres the terminal log: ---------------------------------------------------------- hilderith@cpe-001966e2bdb4:~> cd /home/hilderith/Download hilderith@cpe-001966e2bdb4:~/Download> su Password:
Firefox 3.1 beta 3 won't load. When I open the application, the little bouncy icon bounces, and the task manager shows "Firefox Web Browser", but this only stays this way for about 15 seconds then just goes away. No error or anything.
I've had this identical problem when I try to open certain programs with Wine too. Is there some place I can find a detailed error report on these failures?
