wine users - Jul 2008 - Problem using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Image Ready

Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu Studio + LTSP5.0 + wine 1.1.2. I have been trying to use Adobe
Photoshop, Image Ready, Indesign, Illustrator through wine. It acts really
strange, Coz Photoshop works sometimes and doesnt work sometimes.. It throws an
error "There was an hardware problem, and cannot be rectified at this
time". Image ready doesn't open at all, the Image Ready screen is
displayed and just crashes.  I read the BUG fixes and few have shared their
experience of using Photoshop CS2 with Wine 1.1.2.

1) Has anyone used Adobe products through wine? Kindly let me know if any
changes has to be done in winecfg.

2) I am running Ubuntu Studio on AMD 64, Athlon with 2GB RAM, which is a
recommended hardware to run Ubuntu. I am wondering if this could be a problem.

3) Can i use wine for all LTSP Users? I copied the .wine directory to few users
home directory, changed the permission and ownership, but it didn't work.

Kindly help

There's a workaround for that in the AppDB entry:

Have you checked the AppDB for all the products you're interested in?
