Ubuntu :: Wine Not Opening Programs?
Aug 12, 2010
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

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)

how to make a program open in a window, much like the -w command you can put in a launcher under gnome. Alternatively if someone could guide me on how to install gnome in lubuntu i could just give that a try too..

I have been working on this program for Windows all month http://www.smashindex.com it is a logging program for amateur radio. Anyway, 75 percent of my users are using Linux. I'm guessing with WINE because the program is Windows based. That's all fine and well with me, but I have a problem. The donations option, opens a browser and lets the user make a donation to my paypal account, and the callsign lookup option opens the browser to the qrz.com database for whatever callsign the user enters. WINE, doesn't seem to support opening browsers for my software, but I've seen it do it for other software. I was wondering what I needed to run to have WINE open a browser on linux like the other software I've seen do it.Here is a snippet of the code used to open the browser to my donations page:
Code:
[DONATE]
CLS
PRINT "SMASHINDEX.COM WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR DONATING"
PRINT "TO THE DEVELOPEMENT OF THIS AND OTHER SMASHINDEX"
[code].....
What can I run the URL with that WINE will understand?

Have installed Wine - version 1.2.3-Oubuntu1-ppa2-maverick1(wine1.2) from the Ubuntu softwear center . Downloaded windows executable PAF5EnglishSetup.exe which is a Genealogy softwear program from a trusted source (familysearch.org) .
However , when i attempt to open with Wine Windows Program Loader i get the pop up window saying the file is not marked as executable then reference to "executable bit" . I then see the following:
"You should only mark a file as executable via the file permissions if you know what you are doing." I do not know what i am doing . Therefore , reluctant to go messing with something i am not familiar with but i really need this softwear installed .

I'm wondering if it's possible to write some sort of script so I can have an icon on the desktop which opens a combination of programs I use together frequently.Specifically, I would like to have an icon called "keyboard practice" which does the following:
1) Open QJackCtrl and "click" on Start;
2) Open the Hexter softsynth and make the Jack connections between it and my speakers;
3) Make the Jack MIDI connection between my MIDI keyboard and Hexter.

Well title say it all how do you disable the screen programs opening text in 11.04 so you do not have to hit the enter key twice to get by the two pages of text to actually be running the program you started.

I had PS CS5 portable running with Wine and everything was fine. However, from a couple of days ago I click on the icon to open the application and it keep loading. I had attached a screen-shoot with more details. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine (wine-1.3.7).

I've run into some problems while trying to install iTunes onto my system (Ubuntu 10.10) using Wine. I've installed Wine and configured everything properly, and then I download iTunes. I've tried downloading several versions, including 7.2 (older version) and the newest version (iTunes 10). However, when I try to open this downloaded file, I get the message:

How do you open a program, in this instance "Zenmap", from the desktop in a user account when it requires root privileges? Is there a way to be prompted for the password, the same way, for instance, you're prompted when mounting a new file system or making a change to the system? I tried entering 'sudo /usr/bin/zenmap' when creating the shortcut, however that didn't work.

I would really like to stop Konqueror opening up links from Skype and other programs. It's becoming annoying because I have Chrome set to be the default browser, but for some reason when I click on a link it opens in Konqueror.

I am fairly new to Ubuntu and was wondering if anybody knows of a way to open up a number of programs and placing them in specific spots programmatically. Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to open my IDE, multiple terminal windows, browsers, etc... and then having to place them all in the exact position I want when my machine boots up. Ideally, I could say:Program A, is placed on Monitor 1, workspace 1, at position 0, 0, with height and width 600 x 400. Program B, is placed on Monitor 2, workspace 2, at position 600, 500, with height and width 1000 x 600

I am having trouble with the dvdfab8 window opening up when accessing it under wine. I installed it, but when I went to wine and clicked on it, nothing happens. Also is there a good tutorial for dvd::rip. I ripped a movie, but not sure how to transcode it to be backed up to a blank single layer dvd.

I'm running fedora 13 and I installed wine via yum.

When I turn on my computer I am greeted by an unending stream of "Starting File Managers" appearing in the programs list. This cannot be stopped, though none of the file managers actually open. They just sit there filling up my programs bar and wasting my cpu slowing down computer. It also means I cant upon my own folders, or see what programs I have open.If I run terminal, type xkill and click on one of the buttons in the programs list, that kills them all, and I can see my programs again for a bit, until it fills up again. The panel disappears and appears again, with all the spawning messages gone and any other programs I have open remain there. Its just the randomly spawned "Starting File Managers" that don't come back.
My CPU fluctuates. Its around 60% to 90% load, when it should be idle, but is instead opening all these windows.When I view the processes the most CPU intensive (when I sort) is Gnome System Monitor at 6% and then Gnome panel at 5%,gconfd-2 is as around 2%, compiz.real, dbus-deamon hover around 1%. And everything else is generally at 0%.So somewhere, a hidden process is using about 70% of my CPU load. Which isn't shown in system-monitor. Maybe because its an admin process and I can only see simple user processes. I dunno.There is something else though. I have a process with no name appearing, its blank. And it keeps disappearing and re-appearing. So you can hardly select it hard enough to kill it. I managed to kill it once and it said error, process (large number, 10,000 or 100,000) does not exist. So can't be killed.When I do an xkill the console writes:
Code:
anthony@Anthony-Acer:~$ xkill
Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1....
[code]....

I use Mathematica 7.0 through my school's SSH server. This involves:
-loading their font server via "xset fp+ tcp/c1.ucalgary.ca:7100"
-connecting to the SSH server via "ssh -X useruser@servername.ca"
-entering my password Then I choose to run Mathematica via ". use mathematica 7" then to load the GUI "mathematica".
Sometimes, and only sometimes, the screen goes to the error in the attached picture, stays there for about 5 seconds, brings me to the login screen. When I log in again, all of my applications that were running, open folders, and my terminal windows are closed.

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?

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'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.

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.
How can I bring back these links?
