I did a forum search and found 16 pages for uninstalling wine. Only one was semi-helpful. What I got was: > > [Bakshara at Bakshara ~]$ rmdir ~/.wine > rmdir: failed to remove `/home/Bakshara/.wine': Directory not empty > What do I need to do? I want to uninstall wine 1.1.24 and install 1.1.26. I currently only have three apps installed. So any thing I will loose will be easy

Howdy Wine users! The list of bugs with downloads that haven't been checked on in a while has gotten pretty long (1,359! as of May 6, 2009). If you're a moderate to advanced user of wine, please help by downloading and testing these applications and testing these bugs. Be sure you're using a recent version of wine (1.1.20 or git) and testing in a clean WINEPREFIX. Quick guide: 1)

Hello. I have been pretty satisfied with wine since I have become aware of its existance and am having a pretty good time with it. There are, however, a couple issues I can't wrap my head around. First of all, I cannot run regedit as root, it says: Code: wine: /home/mokuren/.wine is not owned by you I don't know how the root is supposed to "not own" something. This isn't

I really don't know how to google this or forum search this question as I have been trying to find the answer for an hour or so. I apologize if it's somewhere on the board spammed a lot but: How do I switch between different running wine apps. Pretty much, how do I use an emulated version of Alt+Tab in Wine? I don't know the hotkey, thanks!

I've been trying to open up multiple instances of WoW under Wine for a while now... I can get two copies open at once without a problem, but I run into issues when I try to open a third. Some background: I'm running each one from a separate install, not trying to open them all from the same folder. I'm using Wine 1.1.2, and the latest binary nVidia drivers (173.14.12). I've

i have installed a clean copy of ubuntu 8.10 64bit i installed a program called the Bar Ilan Responsa Project which uses a license from a local network server, using wine. this program works perfectly for my friend who has ubuntu 8.10 32bit. alas, when i try running the program i always get the message: "no answer from NetHasp license manager (15)" (this is the error you get in windows

Using wine 0.9.58 on Ubuntu 8.04 Like an idiot, I tried to install IE7 before doing the research to find that IE6 was more ideal with far fewer problems. So after attempting to install IE7 and failing, I tried to install IE6, but in the terminal I get this response after typing wine ie6setup.exe: Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. wine:

Hi: I'm a relative noob to Wine, and I'm having a little trouble getting Dawn of War (regular, plus Winter Assault) to run under Debian Lenny. When I try to install it, it always tries to install automatically to the c: drive, which I don't want to do because I don't have enough space (running on a laptop). I do, however, have a USB external drive, which I'd like it to load

Lots of 3D games such as Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf or Stalker have very low performance in comparison to running on the same computer on Windows. What can I do to improve it? What developers have still to implement to fully support 3D rendering?

I'm using kubuntu 8.04 and I'm able to run three programs that I installed but another user can't. Is there any way to make .wine available for all users? I thought about copying .wine to wine in /usr/lib/wine or /usr/bin/wine.

Whenever I try typing anything into any application, all I get is one character and then I cannot add any more or even delete it unless I exit out. When I load it back up the same thing happens. This problem also persists within the Wine configuration, I can only change one number in the window size box. I have tried the riched20 winetrick and I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it

I understand that it is applied automatically when needed, but there are times when one would want to run it manually. An example is when I want to literally create a new wine prefix such as env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/apps/myprog" wineprefixcreate to prepare a clean profile for future installation of myprog. I know that running setup with a WINEPREFIX would create the clean profile,

Hi, I am currently backing up a few Linux boxes, and a Windows XP box, using rsync (through a cron job). Regarding the Windows box ( Windows XP (running Cygwin) <--> Debian Testing), so far I specify a few directories as sources in the rsync command line. I then use an excludes file to include certain directories and exclude others. I was wondering, can I just specify / as the source and

Something happened between wine 0.9.59 to 0.9.61 where the wheels have really come off. First, the installed Office 2003/Outlook never worked, but I tried to run it after installing .61 and got the old failed to "reserve range 00000000-00010000" error message. I performed this command the following command to try to fix it: sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 This allowed Outlook to run

I maintain a directory structure containing dirs and files that I regularly push to ~50 hosts, which are divided into 3 groups that have slightly different needs (minor mods in a couple of files). So ideally I would have 4 directories: /path/to/sync/common/ <- common files /path/to/sync/group1/ <- group1 specific only /path/to/sync/group2/ <- group2 specific only

Howdy Wine users! Looking for an easy way to help Wine? There are plenty of bug reports that could use a retest in current Wine, but developers are busy fixing bugs :-). Here's a list of bugs (536) that have a download available, but haven't been checked on in the last 6 months. If you'd got time and bandwidth to kill, and want to help Wine, please test them. After testing, leave a
