Wine


Hi, i'm running ubuntu 9.04 on my Eee pc 701. I'm trying to get my samsung yp q1 to work but samsung don't support Linux. I've been told to install wine which emulates a windows pc, is it possible to make my Eee pc recognise my samsung YP Q1 via Usb?

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that wine can solve your problem. If someone told you 'wine emulates a Windows PC', they told you wrong; wine provides translation of Windows system calls so Windows software can (with wildly varying levels of usefulness) run on Linux. Drivers simply won't work because the underlying system isn't there. If you can find some Windows software that is supposed to be able to talk to your media player, you can try installing it, but I'd wager that your time is much better spent here.
