I am really getting into my new Ubuntu Hardy Heron software but wondered if any music lovers amongst you could give me some advice? I heavily use Band in a Box 2008 on the XP side of my machine and have tried to install it, through the wine emulator so I can use it in Ubuntu. I could then, more or less, abandon the XP side on a 90% basic. Something I would very much like to do. Unfortunately BB 2008 is not "coming up" when I click on the wine, programs, band in a box icon. It "thinks about it " for a while and then the cursor becomes normal again and nothing happens .I have no idea why because it was installed through the wine emulator. I hope someone might be able to help? Thanks in anticipation, Bear. [Crying or Very sad]
Hi, 1) Have you tried running the program from the command line and seeing what the error is? 2) Does BiaB have any driver requirements? If so, have you configured WINE to meet them?

The answer to both of these things is no. I am very new to Linux and am really a complete novice in these matters. Coul you be more specific regarding "running from the command line"? I suppose this means using the termial? what exactry would I write in the command line? As for the driver requirements, once again, I am floundering in uncharted territory, can you "lead me by the hand" reagarding this? By the way, thankd for replying to this rather exotic question at all Peter! I am very grateful to you for your interest and knowledge. Regards, Bear
Using the terminal to start Band in a Box 2008 I get the following:- bear at bear-desktop:~$ wine bbw.exe preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\bbw.exe": Module not found bear at bear-desktop:~$ preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil) Any ideas where I go from here?

The solution to "failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000" is in the FAQ. John
"John, thank you for your reply to my last post! I found the FAQ sheet, quite essential of course, and this led me to this filx":- To avoid having to give that same command every time you reboot, also edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf, e.g. with the command $ sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and change the line that reads: vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 to: vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 That will apply the workaround for you when the system starts. "I did this and rebooted with no problems. On trying to start Band in a box 2008 from both the terminal and the menu (This is no go) within wine I get the following":- bear at bear-desktop:~$ wine bbw.exe wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\bbw.exe": Module not found bear at bear-desktop:~$ fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) "Where do I go from here? (P.s. sorry about all this, I am not very knowledgabe regarding these issues." Regards, Bear [Question]
Well, after muck hassle, Band in a Box 2008 is up and working under Wine is Ubuntu. Thank you to everybody who helped with thisl I have one more problem to overcome and it is the following:- automatic load sf2 at startup I am using Band in a Box 2008 through wine and wondered how I can load a sound font into the Audigy2 soundcard I have at startup through some kind of automated script. In the terminal window I cd to the Desktop (this is where the soundfont is) and execute the command "sfxload CT2MGM.SF2" Band in a Box then plays through the sound card using the loaded sound font. Can this process be automated at startup through any kind of script at startup? If so can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? Many thanks in anticipation!
