First off, for those who have done some R&D on this with LiveZilla v3 series, kudos indeed. I noticed LiveZilla is at v4.0.1.2 now. I have not dived into trying the installation process under Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit and 64-bit desktop systems here) just yet, but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has tried such? Potential issues that may be encountered (with or without solutions; with preferred of course [Wink] )? Also to note, know of Wine, but beyond trying IE v7 for web site testing, I have not done much beyond such. So I would consider myself "green" with Wine too. Will be using Wine v1.3 via the Ubuntu PPA for reference as well. Thanks in advance.
For Ubuntu 10.04LTS (both 32-bit and 64-bit) I had to add some steps to the prior "IT WORKS!" noted by dimesio: dimesio wrote:> > Here's the exact formula I followed: > 1.

Copy from a Microsot Windows system (Windows XP Professional was used in my case) the C:\WINDOWS\Fonts directory to your Linux user's ~/.fonts (make this directory if need be). NOTE: There are various locations in Linux/GNU in which fonts can be kept. These locations are defined in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf; standard ones include /usr/share/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, and /home/<username>/.fonts (where <username> is your user name). 6. Manually create soft links for the Arial fonts in ~/.fonts (or however done from Step 5's NOTE above) as follows: Code: ln -sf arial.ttf Arial.ttf ln -sf arialbd.ttf Arial_Bold.ttf ln -sf arialbi.ttf Arial_Bold_Italic.ttf ln -sf ariali.ttf Arial_Italic.ttf This should address a prior comment about how LiveZilla might be calling the various Fonts from the Windows side. 7. Update the system's and user's fonts. Code: sudo fc-cache -f -v LiveZilla Client or Admin should work from there. :D Thanks once again to those who contributed previously on this thread indeed. :D
Looks like there is an issue with the MDAC as noted in the screen shot when trying to login with the LiveZilla Client. :? [Image: https://www.linux-etc.com/sites/default/files/LiveZillaClient-error.png ] For those who cannot read the "fine print" [Wink] the error message states the following: "Your installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) is outdated or corrupt. Please install MDAC 2.81 or greater and try again." Thoughts, questions, and/or comments are welcomed. I will be going back to the Winetricks side to see if this is available and advise as well if I find anything workable. Thanks in advance.
