Crash and Partial Recovery

Posted 08-12-2008 at 09:35 AM by MooseMagnet

The laptop crashed yesterday. Said it didn't have enough disk space to log on. Don't know what happened.
Used the Ubuntu 7.4 disk to rebuild. Then used the rsync to retrieve stuff from the USB drive. That device saved my butt.
Got hung up on the rsync command, until I remembered that the OPTION is NOT optional. This is still confusing to me.

I still think it is related to wine. when I click on the file to "open with" I open with "wine windows program loader". I have tried opening with another application, I get the same thing. I have wine selected in my add/remove. I have tried to download wine from winehq, and it tells wine already installed. I am so confused. I have done everything Tim suggest from the terminal, with no success. Where do we go from here???

Thanks Nancy

I saved the file for PCStitch to home. I have typed in "wine PCStitch_Inst.exe, and I keep getting the same error. At this point, I probably should forget it, but now I am determined to get it. HA

Thanks guys
