similar to: wine or application failure ?

Have wine running in Ubuntu - dapper. Found and insalled winexs which is SO good. However the process of starting a programs exe is a tad time consuming and prone to error. Well for me who is a tad used to double click and it's away sort of windows xp.... Ubuntu Applications > {whatever} seem like a great spot to have menu items of stuff to run under wine but for the life of me I can't

Hello all, We are experiencing problems using MYOB Premier V6.0.2 on Windows 2000 computers SP3, with the data file residing on shared drive on Linux (Redhat 7.2) file server running Samba Version 2.2.1a and kernel 2.4.9-34. The MYOB Tech support have told me that it is a problem with our network but could not give me any hints where the problem might be. The MYOB database has been corrupted

Several months ago, I installed MYOB and everything seemed to be working. Using F8 kde. Now I'm getting similar results as the above complaints. I think this may have happened after the updater installed updates. Various tabs don't work in the MYOB and it's printing blank pages for receipts and invoices. Other printing from Myob seems to be ok. Using HP network printer and cups.

I had forgotten to mention... really sorry, but could be a major clue. F6 had a printing issue with MYOB and so did the first several releases of F8. I didn't close out our XP system until I had MYOB fully functional with F8 and that was FEB/MAR time frame. One of the updates around end of Feb. started it (MYOB) working for us. Then I killed the last M$ system we had.

It's whatever was current release during March. I have no way of doing regression tests, nor determining which broke what. IMHO the kernel is a suspect too, and March was a lot of upgrades ago for F8. The target system (F8KDE) gets used for MYOB about once a week and printing invoices about once a month, it took awhile before we discovered the system was really broken, we had initially

I am experiencing a performance issue with MYOB accounting package being served from a Debian 2.4.18 based server running samba. Clients are Win2K/WinXP clients in a small workgroup environment, all maping drive to samba 'data' share. Network is pure TCP/IP, no other (MS or Samba) servers on LAN. I've experimented with Oplocks and veto oplocks but to no result the performance of

Hi, We have Samba 2.2.8 on RedHat 9.0 (from rpm). We connect about 5 Win XP Professional PC's (with Service Pack 1) to the server. Roaming profiles are set up. After about 30 minutes client connections are lost to the server and the users cannot reconnect to the server, even if samba is restarted. A reboot of the server is required. This occurs, it seems at this stage, when large

I'm having performance problems that seem to involve SAMBA in the equation so I thought I'd ask if there was something obvious I'm stuffing up or a known anomoly. A mate of mine runs MYOB Premier (the brilliant (not!) multi-user accounting package which claims to not support SAMBA (or visa versa). I've had it running glitch free for two years on a Samba share off a linux box.

I am running v2.0.7 and have set up a network drive for an accounting ledger system. The software is called MYOB and is quite popular in Australia. This is the first time I have to deal with multi user access to 1 data file. My setup is: Global oplocks = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY [MYOB] path=/home/office/MYOB force group = office directory mask = 0770

First a short background of the situation, My work ran a MYOB file from a MS 2000 server. They were getting problems such as the, "cannot send messages to so-and-so. blah blah blah..." They were planning to upgrade to MS 2003 in an attempt to eradicate all error messages and remove the lag sometimes experienced when opening a large list. Since i am a linux fan i suggested giving

I seem to be having a bit of a brain fade with regard to permissions in samba. I have a share with several folders owned by different groups: drwxrws--- 13 root accounts 4.0K Jun 7 12:12 Accounts drwxrws--- 16 ian accounts 4.0K Jun 7 11:24 Administration drwxrws--- 14 accounts users 4.0K Apr 22 12:05 Downloads drwxrwsr-x 7 ian users 4.0K Mar 22 13:51

G'day all, I'm getting closer to realising my dream of running MYOB (an Australian accounting package - used by 2 in 5 Aust small business) under WINE. On startup, as the different pull-down menus begin to manifest, I get the following message appear on screen: (from MYOB) "FALT is needs that bit cleared" with an OK box. I must say, I absolutely *love* the grammar in the

Hi all this is my first post, so if I need to be directed to other places, thanks for the assistance in advance. I,ve been attempting to wean my family off windoze for some time, and now have a few boxes and laptops running fc8. I've set up the latest version of Wine and have successfully installed Myob v13 (with a few glitches: date format is not correct for Australia, despite altering the

I have successfully set up MYOB (accounting software used a lot in Australia) to run with Wine 1.0 (on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS). I now need to be able to access the data file on another PC (Windows XP) via a network which I cannot seem to get to when using the drop down list to find the file - all I can see under 'My Computer' are: C: - fake windows drive, E: - CD drive and Z: - Linux drive. I

Over the last month I think two wine updates came in. I don't know if it was a core update or if they were other component updates. I know on the Fedora, there seems to be major updates every few days. I don't know which broke what. All I know for sure is that MYOB was working and now we can't use it. We have invoices to post and mail and can't.

Hi all, After Googling around a while, I've found bits and pieces of my puzzle, but never someone who's got the whole thing. Here's what I'm trying: - Run MS Access 97 and MYOB - Under FreeBSD 5.3 - With multiple simultaneous users (X Terminals) Access 97 and MYOB are the only Windows programs we'll need to run, everything else will be done with "native"

I am trying to get a Windows application called "MYOB" (Mind Your Own Business - an Australian business accounting program) working with wine. It almost works.. selecting the sample company works good with all the functions, but when trying to selecting a particular data file it fails with the following: err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for shlwapi.dll.0(StrRetToBufA) imported

We have implemented an NT domain with samba 3.0.4 PDC on Slackware 9.1 and Win XP Pro clients. Everything is working nicely except for one issue. I haven't used Windows for years, so possibly I just don't understand something basic about Windows XP security ... Having logged in (to the domain), users are unable to perform tasks such as update certain files on the local system, for example

Is it possible to change error messages for Validation helpers? I am writing an app against a existing database (so no control over column names), but when there is validation error (e.g. with validate_presence_of) I would like to customize the field name. For example for telephone whose field name is PhoneNumber I would like to chnage it to "Telephone Number cannot be empty" rather

Nic, Have you read the chapter in file and record locking in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection? http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf You need to disable oplock support on the share. oplocks = False level2 oplocks = False Chapter 14 of the HOWTO also documents Windows registry settings you may have to set in order to protect the MYOB files. Above all, make certain that your
