Ubuntu :: When Try To Download Software On Playonlinux The Program Just Freezes
Dec 3, 2010
When I try to download software on playonlinux the program just freezes, and the screen glazes over. The program I am trying to download is internet explorer 7. I have wine. Do I have to have the files already on the computer, or is playonlinux supposed to download them.
I started up Playonlinx, go down to the starcraft 2 option and click apply or install and all it does is freeze up every time. Last time I installed starcraft 2 just through wine I had some in game issues that made it non playable.
Yeah so I started up Playonlinx, go down to the starcraft 2 option and click apply or install and all it does is freeze up every time. Last time I installed starcraft 2 just through wine I had some in game issues that made it non playable.
i've installed playonlinux on my system ubuntu 10.04 , and it says that 3d acceleration aren't enabled , how can i do that , this is the output of : lspci | grep VGA VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
I have the CD game with the key, everything is legitimate. I am currently running Karmic (I can't upgrade to Lucid otherwise my wireless won't work!)
The installation according to the PlayOnLinux instructions seems to work well, but when I start the game it asks me for to insert the CD to proceed. Of course, the CD is already in.
There was a similar thread posted here more than 1 year ago, but it didn't seem to have resolution. I saw this: [url] and it looks like I'm supposed to install the No-CD patch in step 15, but I get an error message when I try. I am supposed to run that Play on Linux thing in step 15 from the terminal, right?
ok i have no net connected to my linux nor can i get any net connected to it so ive tried to install play on linux but it says i needed li8ke 6 files so i got them but it keeps saying when i try to install "python-wxgtk2.8" it says i need 2 packages, this being one of them ive downloaded like 10 different versions of it and it keeps saying i need the exact same file can someone link me to the earliest or something so i can just get playonlinux if needed ill give more details when i get home bout to goto school
I currently run a dual boot system Windows Vista & Ubuntu, I am trying to use the Playonlinux application in the software center, for those who may not know what this is, it allows you to install windows application (ie games) on your linux system.. but im getting an error when installing software, it keeps saying that there is not enough space on my HD to install then shows me the current amount of HD space that is availible, its only saying i have about 7gigs free, but i have well over 200gigs free on my HD, Im guessing that Ubuntu made a partition to install on, and it didnt make it big enough. (Just my best guess) Is there a way i can increase this partition size? without having to reinstall? or am i just totally off track and should be trying something else!
I am trying to run a simple perl program that requires getting stock price data from yahoo for just 1 ticker symbol, and it was running fine till this morning, wherein it froze and displayed the message: Out of memory!
I cleared my cache by running the following:
Code: $sync $sudo echo 1 |sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $sudo echo 2 |sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $sudo echo 3 |sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches but it hasn't helped.
Even Firefox has been freezing, so I basically cannot do anything on my computer.
I've started having problems with large file downloads. A download will start and after a while freeze. The downloads window reports the correct connection speed and gives an estimated time to complete, but it stays frozen. Small downloads, torrents and surfing are not affected. I can do everything else normally even when the download is frozen. I've checked with my ISP and everything with my equipment checks out.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and have installed aMSN from the repositories. But when i try to set up my Logitech webcam the whole aMSN program freezes solid and the only way i can get rid of it is to restart the computer.
I used playonlinux for a manual install of a game that needs more than one cd. I can't eject to install the next cd in line. How do I unlock the drive? I'm now in the middle of installing.
After downloading any program thats in ubuntu or uses wine to run before i can run it i've got to allow it to execute, is there a workaround for this? Im using 10.04 ubuntu desktop
I am trying to install Fedora 12 x64 on my 27" iMac 10,1. I have tried both the installation dvd and the gnome live cd (both x64 i did not try the x86). On the installation dvd I get as far as the menu giving me the boot/install options - I have tried to install both with a basic video driver and the regular install/upgrade option - both times it begins loading components for the installer program (/sbin/loader) etc. After it loads sbin/loader and mounts the partitions it freezes with half the screen being the terminal txt beforehand and the other half being just a standard fedora logo w/blue background. It is not much different when I try the live-cd the only different is it does the exact same thing when the timer for automatic login is done. Any possible command line arguments that I could use to stop the graphical corruption?
I want to download Remmina Remote Desktop Client on a computer without an Internet connection, I have tried the option "download package files only" in synaptic but I can't see where the files are being installed to.
i have been trying to open up a program i download.program is unetbooting. on windows you simply open the download. on Linux all these windows pop up. how to open a download program to use it.
When I run the updates option on it, it tells me that the virus engine is out of date. However, it does not automatically download it, nor does it suggest a site. Is there a way to get the program to automatically download updates? If not, can you direct me to a site that would have the updates?Also, if there is a more newbie-friendly or perhaps more reliable anti-virus program, could someone direct me to it?

In Windows 7, the options are pretty nice - ability to change track name, artist, composer, album, song number in album, etc., all from "Properties." In Ubuntu 10.10, Properties really gives you the bare minimum. Is there a program to download in order to get the same sort of basic options as one does from Properties in Windows 7?
I'm brand new to linux and just started with fedora 14. I'm trying to mount the resumemaker professional iso so I can download the program. It's a windows program so I'm not sure if that matters. I've spent the past 2 hours trying to figure it out.
i did: mkdir /mnt/iso for the new folder then: mount -o loop /home/jordanamman/ResumeMaker/ResumeMaker Professional 16.0 Deluxe.iso /mnt/iso
(I've tried like 20 different combinations from different websites so idk what I'm doing wrong)
I need a program that will limit download speed per connection. So that each download is limited to 100kbit/s for e,g. I tried trickled, it only limits whole application (and doesn't work with firefox). Also tried pyshaper, doesn't work. Is there such software?
Can anyone tell me what is the best program on Ubuntu that will download picture files in Raw format from my Nikon D3000 and correct them, and do the usual stuff to make a colour-balanced, photo that can be saved in another format - say Tiff?
I have already tried trickle and wondershaper. I need a program that can limit the speed of download/upload of an already running program. Similar to the how NetLimiter in Windows limits already running processes. Using Linux.
Is there an open source application that can download e-mails from a generic POP mail server, keep a copy of the mails locally and then deliver copies to multiple accounts on a LAN? I have a friend who uses a group e-mail account, and more than one person is always hooked onto that account. The problem is they cannot leave e-mail on the server, as it eats out their webhosting space, but if someone downloads a message in Outlook, the other users do not see that message.
