similar to: broken links after update to FC3

I upgraded from FC2 to FC3 and it broke the sym links to a: and the cdrom. I couldn't get them back, then I deleted c: and z:, promptly asking myself "why did you just do that they worked fine" The funny thing is my /mnt is empty, I can pop a CD in and it finds it but what did FC3 do with the entries in /mnt? I looked for the setup tool that I read was in ./tool but can't find

I saw on a number of recent posts references to config file. I installed wine from source 20040914. In my directory ~/.wine I have the following: [john]: 06:12 PM [~/.wine] $ ls dosdevices/ drive_c/ system.reg userdef.reg user.reg In the source directory I have the following: [john]: 06:18 PM [~/Documents/wine-20040914] $ ls aclocal.m4 config.status* documentation/ loader/

I'm fairly new to wine. I'm running the version (Wine 20050211) that comes with SuSE 9.3. I had been using the version that came with SuSE 9.1 (Wine 20040213), and recently ran the SuSE 9.3 upgrade installation. Getting ready to try installing Word Perfect 8.0, I've been reading the help documents. I recollect a warning not to run wine as root. By mistake, I did so. When I did, it

Hi all, I have trouble with making the symbolic link to the corresponding device node. I have typed sudo In ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 username d: -> /mnt/cdrom but it gives me this error : prawira@ubuntu:~/Warcraft III$ ln ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 d: -> /mnt/cdrom bash: /mnt/cdrom: Permission denied prawira@ubuntu:~/Warcraft III$ ln ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 d:: ->

I am currently running Skype version 1.3 on a Linux Mandriva 2006 system. It works well, but the Windows version is really superior, supporting several interesting features missing from the Linux version. So I tried to use wine for that. I am not familiar with wine (never need Windows programs, really) and I tried to use what had been installed by Mandriva. Testing wine, it's all right with

Just got Wine 1.1.13 on Ubuntu 8.10 tried to map D: to my Windows partition /dev/sda5 /media/DATA but Wine wouldn't keep my choice and reverts to /media/cdrom0. Found out that permissions for ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: were root only and couldn't change them. So I deleted d: & d:: and made new symbolic links $ sudo rm -r /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/d* $ ln -s /media/DATA

I still can't seem to figure out Wine and how it works. I tried again to get Brainfuse Quick Connect working last night and had the notion that perhaps I need to get Explorer up and running. I've tried everything I know to get that file in Other to run but nothing is happening. I did get a lengthy error message. [/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe]

Hi, After setting the windows version to winxp I managed to install this game without a problem. Playing however is another matter. It appears it can't find the CDrom. I'm using the deb-packages from winehq (version 20050111) in a sid chroot on an AMD64 pure64 install with kernel 2.6.8 (Debian package 2.6.8-10). I copied the config file from the sample in the documentation and only

Hi, I'm running wine-1.0.1, OpenBUGS 3.0.3, R 2.9.0, and R2WinBUGS on a Redhat Enterprise Linux machine. Following various peoples' suggestions... This works perfectly (yay!): wine Z:/opt/OpenBUGS/winbugs.exe Within R, however, I get this: (setup the example from ?bugs, then....)

Anyone have an idea as to how to automatically detect the USB number and create a sym link in the dosdevices directory. The problem is that I have several USB devices not used at the same time, and when the USB to serial adapter is connected, a /dev/ttyUSB? is assigned. To use this assignment under WINE, I need to automatically detect /dev/ttyUSB? and then create a sym link in

Hello, I found a bug in Latest wine releases. I found it in the wine-20040914,wine-20040813 rpms for the RedHat Distributions.I had tested it in RedHat-9.0,7.3 systems. The bug is that, when we try to open(file->open) from any windows applications, the application hangs. For eg., even in Notepad, when I click File-> Open, wine shows the following error. --------- wine: Unhandled

Hi all, I just started messing with wine (0.9.54 on Ubuntu 7.04-Feisty) a few weeks ago and there's some educational software I want to be able to run. It was made with VB, and I've managed to get it working fairly well except for an ActiveX control for showing Flash movies (.swf). I think it's unable to load the swf file because the box where the movie should show is blank, and

Hi All: I just use wine to run a windows based program. I think it is successfully installed, but when I run it with WINEDEBUG=warn+all, there are some warning message at the beginning as: warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"wineboot.exe" not found in /home/huifeng/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32 warn:ntdll:NtQueryFullAttributesFile L"\\??\\C:\\windows\\system32\

Hi, I have been trying to install winetricks on 10.04.1 LTS but I am having no success. Does anyone know what the problem is? I get the following errors: > wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\gearsec.exe" > winetricks: 4382: cannot create /home/bandito/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/zenity.sh: Permission denied > winetricks: 4382: cannot create

i've seen various references to this message in the list archive, but none which really match my scenario. i'm running 0.9.28 on ubuntu edgy. of course, i'm new at wine -- so this could be user error. i'm trying to install TaxCut 2006, from the CDROM: $ ls .wine/dosdevices/d\:/ autorun.inf* df0000exe.manifest* taxcut.exe* temporaryitems/ data/

Very new to linux, so please fogive stupidity. Trying to get serial port configured. I ran this command:' ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1' I did this in terminal, from my home directory, as I was unable to locate a dosdevices folder or file. Could someone clarify this for me please?

Hey guys, I have two Linux computers. I'd like to make it so that regardless of which Linux computer I'm sitting at, I can fire up Quicken (via Wine). Specifically, I want to access the same set of Quicken data files regardless of which Linux computer I'm sitting at. (I can be self-disciplined to only have Wine running on one computer at a time.) Does Wine support this? If so, would

After unsuccessfully trying the binary distribution at http://thisismyinter.net/?p=47, I've decided to compile myself from source, but only to realize that I'm ending up with the same issue when running winecfg: Code: $ /usr/local/bin/winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/Users/a5sk4s/.wine' err:module:DelayLoadFailureHook failed to delay load

I wants to start a win Prog called "Mathe Coach" with wine. And yes I know that there are ohter and better Progs for linux, but it has to be that one....not my decision :-) The occuring problem is that wine hangs in a loop and i can't make neither head nor tail of the debug messages (the file is over 10 MB large, and i abborted wine after a few seconds to avoid larger files) here a

Hi all I wish to run 'Enterprise Architect' from Sparx Systems[1]. The installer runs just fine, and the application installs OK. The main issue is that the license key file is a shared resource - many users can utilise the same license file (legitimately I might add!) at the same time, so the license file is located on a SMB share. The key file itself has encoded into itself what the
