similar to: RFD: create new list and forum 'wine-newbies'

Hi all, First off - this is not flame bait or a troll. It's a genuine question. Since the forum gateway was introduced, it is my opinion that this list is getting flooded with newbie questions. Check the "I just installed Ubuntu" thread for a typical example. I wish to silently remove all wine-forum posts and their replies from my inbox. I plan to filter based on From:

Hi folks, the volunteer admins for forum.winehq.org have been deleting an increasing amount of spam lately, and it seems clear that we need to update the forum software to a new release with better antispam features. The catch is, the mailing list gateway plugin is not compatible with the new version of the forum. It looks like the users are split about 90% on the forum and about 10% on the

I''m a complete newbie at Xen, just getting started. I was happy to see that Ubuntu 11.10 includes Xen again, http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/xen-4-1-1-on-ubuntu/ So I installed ubuntu 11.10''s precompiled Xen, and started playing around with it. I''m not even trying to start another VM at the moment, just playing around with mounting block devices, and had trouble

Trouble is if you split the list into newbies and non-newbies the people the other Alan despises so much won't think of themselves as newbies. As a relative newbie myself I find it hard to swallow some of the near-elitist attitude shown by some experts, calling someone who isn't as experienced as you a noob is just plain insulting. I hope when those people learn something new they

Whew. I have to take a breather for a week or two from the wine-users traffic. See you all when my hands are less sore...

I use visual C++ 6 in wine to build an app. I've been leaving MSDEV open to see how long it'll stay up. It was fine for several days, but after a week, it lost the ability to compile. (No big problem, but it'd be nice to narrow this down someday, assuming it doesn't do the same thing on Windows.)

Alexandre says we should have users try wineprefixcreate before having them blow away their old .wine directory. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alexandre Julliard <julliard at winehq.org> Date: Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 2:44 AM Subject: Re: Proposal: versioning .wine directory To: James Hawkins <truiken at gmail.com> Cc: Austin English <austinenglish at gmail.com>,

Hello all, I wonder if there is a way to set up the so-called JDF library required by several Adobe software? I haven't been able to find out what it is, nor whether wine has any way to set this up, or even if I can copy windows DLL's over. I can get Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to run, for example, but many actions fail with the error "cannot initialize JDF library". Any enlightenment

As one who uses that option I would say no. However, I see that it is very confusing for someone new to Samba. It is the same for the ID

I''d like to propsoe that the RubyOnRails mailing list forks into three lists. PROBLEM: * The list is getting swamped with traffic, making it hard to use and even harder to follow. * Many, many messages get lost, with no reply. * Due to the overwhelming traffic, it''s hard for beginners to get the help that they need, since their messages get lost in the shuffle, and

I say this note is important only because I (a AGI PHP newbie) was tormented by this problem for many an hour, even though I'm sure it's documented somewhere or obvious to more experienced users. So as I was experimenting with AGI in PHP scripting I was baffled by why Asterisk was properly receiving AGI commands written to stdout but always returning "510 invalid command" to the

I have experience in PHP/MySQL, but absolutely no experience at all in Ruby (and Rails) and would love to get a few quality books aimed at absolutley newbies. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Detlef contributed verbs vbrun3 and vbrun4, thanks! And I added vbrun5 and vbrun6 as the preferred synonym for the existing verbs vbvm5 and vbrun60. That should be easier. As always, winetricks is at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks and its source repository is at http://winezeug.googlecode.com

In http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/archives/2007/08/entry_3550.htm, Miguel Guhlin asked how to install MemoriesOnWeb and its recommended codecs under Wine, so here goes. All I did was translate his instructions to wine-ese. 1. Download xvid for windows from http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html, install it the obvious way: $ wine XviD-1.1.3-28062007.exe 2. Download lame from

Big news: as of today or so, wine doesn't need any patches to install the .net 2.0 runtime or run trivial .net 2.0 apps, so I've added a dotnet20 verb. No more futzing with recipes to try out simple .net 2 apps, huzzah! There are lots of other little changes, too: 20080402 r21 Added dotnet20, removed one kludge from dotnet11, added win2k verb, plus shorthand for winver=foo r20

Hi, I'm trying to install Lotus Notes Client 6.5 in Brazilian Portuguese with Wine 0.9.36 and its doesn't work. I find in http://wiki.winehq.org/LotusNotes that this version of wine can install and run the Lotus Notes 6.0, 6.5, and 7 Windows clients without any special effort. And don't find any bugs related to that. Someone know something about? Thanks, Vitor ubuntu 7.04

Hi everybody, I'd like to play Myst III - Exile with wine on Ubuntu 8.04 but the installation doesn't work. In fact I have the Trilogy DVD edition with Myst, Riven and Exile and I saw that Riven works well : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10719. But my problem is a bit weird : I can't find any exe file on the DVD to install Exile !!! Riven is easy to

Hi, Wine 0.9.17 user here having bad headaches with Photoshop menus... When choosing an option from the context menu or some other sorts of drop downs, the respective areas are not clickable even they are highlighted. Other thing would be that when I'm opening Blending Options, set some effects, then click OK, the tool windows is disappearing ... Could you advise on this matter, please?
