I posted this on Ubuntuforums but after reading a bit more it seems this is mostly used for gaming questions so I decided to come here. I am running 64 bit Ubuntu intrepid (still a beta but a release candidate). I can see Wine in my application menu but when I go to Programs/Acessories/Notepad nothing happens. I am unable to open the configuration nor am I able to uninstall using the Applications menu option. I had Picasa installed. Upon searching around (how on earth do I get Google desktop to also search my file system, not just my home folder?) I found that Picasa has a Wine folder here: /opt/google/picasa/3.0 I uninstalled and installed 1.0.1, the stable version twice from the repositories using Synaptics without change - still not able to configure Wine. I then added the development packages of Wine to my software sources as described here, updated and reinstalled: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb Still no luck. I'm really lost here. Wine works OK on two other computers we have. When I use my system monitor to check for what processes open when I click e.g. notepad, notepad and wineserver show for a second but then vanish. Removing Picasa does not change a thing. After repeat install of Wine it still doesn't work. I'm totally lost. Why doesn't a fresh install via Synaptics fix it? When I now search for wine I find a large directory here: /usr/lib32/wine If I run winecfg from the console I get: laptop:~$ winecfg err:module:import_dll Library rpcrt4.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe" failed, status c0000135 err:wineboot:start_services_process Unexpected termination of services.exe - exit code -1073741515 err:module:import_dll Library rpcrt4.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\ole32.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library ole32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000135 nils at nils-laptop:~$ winecfg err:module:import_dll Library rpcrt4.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe" failed, status c0000135 err:wineboot:start_services_process Unexpected termination of services.exe - exit code -1073741515 err:module:import_dll Library rpcrt4.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\ole32.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library ole32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000135

[Wine] Re: Wine 1.1.7 and 1.0.1 not working on Intrepid 64 bit
I made the mistake to use Synaptics's "mark for complete removal" option instead of manually fiddling with hidden files thinking that that would take care of it... well, it did not remove the files in .wine! Boy, a steep learnig curve indeed after coming from Windows... Thank you much for your fast response. This is invaluable in making the switch, lowering anxiety and spreading the word about Linux.
