Gecko for wine hangs.
 

I have an application that requires that I bring up a web page, no problem thus far. Gecko will come up and gecko will hang at "Please wait while the page is loading..." Can anyone help?

Thanks

I'm having this exact same problem with UOAssist. I tried disabling my firewall, and configuring my router, but no joy. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

Gecko not recognised: the cabs have to be downloaded and copied to /usr/share/wine/gecko note a different cab version is needed for each version of wine. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

If your distribution of Wine doesn't put the .cab file in the right place for you, you can avoid problems by putting it there yourself as follows:

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/win...-1.0.0-x86.cab
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/gecko
$ sudo mv wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab /usr/share/wine/gecko/

The above information is accurate for wine-1.1.27 or later. Older version of Wine use other Gecko versions:


wine-0.9.47 - wine-1.1.11


wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab

wine-1.1.12 - wine-1.1.14


wine_gecko-0.9.0.cab

wine-1.1.15 - wine-1.1.26


wine_gecko-0.9.1.cab

wine-1.1.27 - current


wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab

If you installed Wine in some $prefix rather than /usr, it will look in $prefix/share/wine/gecko/ instead of /usr/share/wine/gecko. e.g. if you installed it from source, then the default-path is /usr/local/share/wine/gecko.

current wine_gecko 2.2 - 2.4 cab files replaced by msi files
 

The new files for x86 and x86_64 are;

/usr/share/wine/gecko/wine_gecko-2.44-x86_64.msi’
/usr/share/wine/gecko/wine_gecko-2.44-x86.msi’
