I was reading some recent posts and noticed our esteemed moderator suggested that compiz and pulseaudio might interfere with the proper running of wine, so I killed them. RIP. Are there any other common Linux daemons that might be running in the background interfering with wine or applications running under wine? I did some searching and did not find a discussion about this particular topic.

I recently set up a Linux machine after several years of being stuck with only Windows. I've used Linux from as far back as when you had to load Slackware from a stack of floppies.

This may be a dumb one. For some reason I switched from Fedora 8 to Debian 4. In each case I was running Wine 0.9.58. Same machine with same geForce NV18 video chip. The Rise of Nations: Thrones & etc. demo worked (as I recall) under Fedora but does not run under Debian. The game tells me that the video card is not supported. I checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and it seems to have IDed the

Is anyone else playing (or trying to play) Space Rangers 2 under wine? I'm having some problems with crashing that I can't diagnose and would like to compare notes. I've already contacted the only other AppDB submitter for this game.

Hello, This is my first post here, so please forgive me if a get some terms wrong! I want to be able to use Linux applications to open files from within a windows application running under wine. Here's why, I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.61 using Synaptic. I have installed a very old PIM called infocentral that was originally created by Corel and which I have been using for the

More and more poor clueless users getting to nowhere installing that stuff according to some howtos. Who are writing those? And why are they directing people to install it in the first place? The only person I've found who created that howto everyone links to - Tom Wickline states EXPLICITLY THAT THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY!!! AND NOT TO BE USED WITH ANY REAL LIFE APPLICATION! Are

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this suggestion but I'd like to get some discussion on the subject. I feel that AppDB does not provide enough information about the particulars of the system and user to be of a lot of value in deciding what works, what doesn't and why. I'd like to suggest that AppDB capture some additional information: 1. User experience: e.g.
