Trying to get use to using wine and winetricks, how do you know what is currently installed and what needs to be installed, for instance if i had wine default to WinXP or Windows7 etc ? Or does it not matter if its already installed and you install again using winetricks ? What would people recommend for the default OS as mainly i wish to use Wine for windows gaming and what would i need to

It is just me or is the entire Wine AppDB screwed up? Why is it that people complain when no-cd fixes are used when a programs is rated platinum, yet when you need to set and use native dll's it's okay? It's either one or the other, for example why is MS Office 2007 rated platinum for? You need native dll's and not wines versions to run it, yet in games that use secu-rom or other

The AppDB lists Team Fortress 2 as Platinum. It says it should run "flawlessly out-of-the-box." In Windows, I can max out all of the settings and get a steady 100+ FPS. In Wine, I have to set everything to Low, and even then, I still only get 20-30 FPS, occasionally dropping down into the 0-10 range when multiple players are on the screen. That doesn't sound flawless. Aside from

I've successfully downloaded and run a number of simple Windows programs using Wine. But I've had no success with any programs that require an installer. The installation process seems to work properly, but then when I try to run the app, I get Code: The program <programname.exe> has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi, I just wanted to verify the appdb rules/format so I correctly make my submissions in the future. I was surprised when I received an admin edit after submitting: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22285&iTestingId=59851 recently. The game worked completely flawlessly for me, so I submitted it as a "Platinum" rating. However, since I had to set Wine to

This problem is found in meego testing: http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6672 A file in btrfs is mmaped and the mmaped buffer is passed to pwrite to write to the same page of the same file. In btrfs_file_aio_write(), the pages is locked by prepare_pages(). So when btrfs_copy_from_user() is called, page fault happens and the same page needs to be locked again in filemap_fault(). The fix is to

I have a program that, under certain circumstances, will crash out with the "Serious Error" popup. In order to better probe the crash with an automated test harness, I'd like to be able to skip that popup and just have the process terminate. Is there a way to do that? Tell Wine "hey, if this program segfaults, just close it without asking me"? Hoping this is something

We create two subvolumes (meego_root and meego_home) in btrfs root directory. And set meego_root as default mount subvolume. After we remount btrfs, meego_root is mounted to top directory by default. Then when we try to mount meego_home (subvol=meego_home) to a subdirectory, it failed. The problem is when default mount subvolume is set to meego_root, we search meego_home in meego_root but can not

I tested the program SkyGlobe 3.6 listed as Platinum in the following AppDB page: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5143 The program failed to start in Wine 1.0-rc1. The following is the output from the console: $ wine skyglobe.exe fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, register 0x3ce: 0x08 (value 0xff) fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index,

So, i tried this once before and it didn't work because wine thought it was windows xp and vegas platinum only works with windows 7. I am brand new to Wine and have no idea where to even start. I followed a documentation step by step, barely able to understand it. Using winetricks i got all the stuff supposedly needed to install, but it wouldn't even run the setup.exe file. I am not

I'm experimenting with Wine under Kubuntu Hardy Heron, on a former Vista laptop (boy, does it run noticeably faster on Linux). The deal is that my son wants to move to Linux on his desktop, but still have access to particular games that he plays. The laptop is the testbed. Before trying to install any of the games, I tried out three applications that I find useful, Orbitron, Country Codes and

I''ve been monitoring the lists for a while now but didn''t see this problem mentioned in particular: I''ve got a fairly standard desktop system at home, 700gb WD drive, nothing special, with 2 btrfs filesystems and some snapshots. The system runs for days, and I''ve noticed unusual disk activity the other evening - turns out that it''s taking forever to

An installation of MS-DOS has various files in a /DOS directory, which COMMAND.COM looking like a reasonable signal that its MS-DOS or a very close relative there-of.

Cursor in game is very slow so game is unplayable for me (the same problem is with Fallout 2). I wonder how those games can be rated as platinum with existing bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6033 After launching game I get this: wine falloutw.exe fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f190,0x00000000), stub! fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP

I'm trying to play Runaway - The Dream of the Turtle under Wine. The game is listed as platinum in the AppDB, so I didn't expect a lot of problems. However, when I try to run it I get this in terminal and nothing else happens: Code: fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx 0x1110e0 0 fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111700, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33a13c) using

Hi all, A couple of days ago I decided to give wine on a mac a try caused I got bored of dual booting my mac. I ve been A linux wine user for years and I had some pretty good results with it. I figured that i would have the same results on a mac but i guess I was wrong. I got my version (wine-devel packet wine 1.1.16) from macports. Got winetricks as well. Everything were setup fine and

I know it's a small thing, but it's been bugging the heck out of me for a few years now.... The colors you picked for the AppDB status change are horrible and don't help to communicate information at all. In fact, it actually hinders proper reading of the graph, The issue is that "Platinum", "Silver", and to a lesser extent, "Garbage" are almost the same

Hi I see that the libao deal with output of sound to various targets (esg, arts, alsa, oss etc...) Is there a high level library that makes it easy to get the input from f.ex a microphone or line-in etc... for recording purposes? Preferably platform independant. Thanks in advance for any hints.

Just a few weeks ago, I reported a regression according to which Bryce 5.5 would at least display its application window correctly, until WINE v0.9.56 came along. Next, I posted here hoping that WINE developers would at least test Bryce themselves, to try working on this bug. And to that end, I had given a URL here, from which the application can be downloaded for free. It was due to my own

I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 motherboard with a dead battery. The battery mounts vertically: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. It does not want to move. I am reluctant to apply any more force than I already have without knowing how to apply it. How do I remove the battery? -- Michael hennebry
