I'm having a weird problem with WINE. I've tried the latest version from here, the latest version in the Ubuntu repositories. I'm using Kubuntu 11.04 x86_64. I'm running AMD Phenom II x4 @ 2.5 GHz, 6 GB of RAM, ATi Radeon x1950 PRO with 512 MB vRAM. Don't know which display drivers I'm using, its whatever I'm working with. I can play any game with no problems...except for WINE. Here is my problem: I install a game, no problem. Go to play a game, and it's not taking any input from the keyboard. I'll hit escape to skip the intro scene, and it does nothing. I'll get in-game, hit escape to bring up the menu, and get nothing. I'll even hit keys to bring up a specific menu (like in Command and Conquer 3, the O would bring up the objective menus). It's only in games that this happens. I can open up Notepad, and be able to type. It'll take all the keys I put in with no problem. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get nothing. I've tried with no virtual desktop and with virtual desktop with no change. Help me fix my problem, I want to play my games (and I don't want to go back to Windows!)
First step is to take a trip within the farfiuelds of AppDB! http://appdb.winehq.org/ Then, search your game, find your version, and read any workarounds, if they are present. If you have some new game, it would be great to submit it to AppDB ;) --- 1. If you find no usable info about your game, then, do the following in Terminal: 1.1. Code: spci | grep -i pci || lspci 1.2. Create new text file. Upload to pastebin.com 2. Then, open Terminal again and Run the game. AFter you have run it ( with any result ), copy the Terminal text and again paste it to pastebin.com. 3. Once finished, reply here with links to both pastebin.com files. Only then Wine developers / community will be fully capable of helping you.

I've found that certain applications (depending on what input libraries they use) don't interact well with ibus and similar systems. Notably, Direct3D apps seem to have problems while programs just using the normal GUI APIs (i.e., notepad) do not. If you're not sure about whether you have ibus running, it is used to allow you to input characters from other languages (Japanese, korean, cyrillic) using a latin alphabet-based keyboard. If you have anything like that set up, you might be hitting this problem. - Anna -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Anna, I'm pretty sure I'm not using any input method editors considering I don't know what they are. I don't type in other languages, so I'm not worrying about ibus running. When I was playing C&C3, I was able to type in my name, but that was it, and it was hella slow putting in the characters. Gameplay is fine, just the input when typing my name was slow, I'd say about 3-4 second delay. vitamin, I'll do as you say, and get back with you.
As far as what PasteBin is, just go to pastebin.com, click "SIGN UP" and make an account (username and password). It's free! Then you can log in with that user account and password, paste something in (it will have a big thing you can type or paste stuff into), and submit the paste. You can then go back into your pastes and edit previous pastes. And you can copy what's in the address bar while you're at the paste, and give it to someone as a link to that paste. They won't be logged in as you, so you won't have to worry about anyone deleting or editing your paste. This way it won't take up space in your "box", but more importantly, if you ever reorganize your "box" you won't have to redistribute the new link to a text file you had stored as public in your "box". Pastebin is good for ranting. If you need to vent knowledge and rant about something, you can put it in there, and no one will get mad at you because it's out of the way and doesn't make the WINE mail excessively long. Pastebin is also good for terminal outputs. You can have a link to your paste in PasteBin in a reply to a WINE mail.

Oh. Well, thank you Jake for explaining what PasteBin is. But, I rarely even use Box.net, I got while I was in high school because I didn't have a way of saving my reports and what not on. So, I got a Box.net account to save my documents while at home, get to school, download and print it. I've emptied it, and now thats all that is on there is that, a couple of other little text files, and some pictures. Got 1 GB, and I'm using maybe 3 MB. But, if for whatever reason that goes against WINE's rules, I have no problem with copying it over to PasteBin.
