Another WineX prob :(:( Still scared of it...
Ok, I've done ./configure and ./tools/wineinstall and it gets near the end (at least i think its near the end) and i hit this:
You are running as root. Do you want a local config file, ~/.wine.config, created? i enter yes then it searches for an existing Windows installation... not found (does this really matter?) then: Windows was not found on your system, so I assume you want a Wine-online installation. Am i correct? i enter yes, is that correct? Then: Configuring Wine without windows. Some fake windows directories must be created, to hold any .ini files, DLLs, start menu entries, and other things you applications may need to install. Where would you like your fake C drive to be place? (Default is /c) here i enter: /c then it does some stuff, now heres where i run into trouble: Preparing to install default Wine Registry Entries... Installing default Wine registry entires... Could not stat /root/.transgaming/c_drive (No such file or directory), ignoring drive C: Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properl edited or created your Wine configuration file. This is (supposed to be) '/root/.wine/config' Registry install failed. then im thrown back to the xterm. Any idea's? I took a look in the /root/.wine/config file, this is what it has in there: Code:
[Drive C] why is it that the c drive is pointing to somewhere else other than what i specified when it asked me (/c which was the default)...:cry: :cry: |
You see in the config file there is
Code:
[Drive C] Quote:

i wish :(
i tried changing it to /c then re-run ./tools/wineinstall script and it says if you want to continue you must overwrite the old ~/.wine/config with the new one...so theres no point changing it then re-running the script :( also, the .transgaming/ dir doesn't even exist, but theres a link called TransGaming_Drive that points to a non-existant ./root/.transgaming/c_drive ergh :( |
Can you during install when it asks where create c drive point it to
/root/.transgaming/c_drive ? You mioght create it create it beforehand cd /root mkdir .transgaming mkdir .transgaming/c_drive |
ill give that a shot...but how will other uses use WineX then as the C drive is under /root?
|
That is just setting it up for root, you will have to set it up for other users as well. You can make global settings, and this is probably why it gives you all those choices.
Cool |
Well what i have tried is doing
cd /root mkdir .transgaming mkdir .transgaming/c_drive and i got the same error as below, and then i tried letting it create the file, then it asked me if i wanted a wine-only install, so while it asked me this, i jumped into the config file and changed it to /c but i still got this other error like the above try did: Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuaration file. This is (supposed to be) '/root/.wine/conf' Registry install failed. so obviously without the registry, i can't just ignore this :( Also i happened to notice that there isn't any /c/windows/system32 directory, but the config file has it specified under [wine] for System = should i just change this to System? Edit: Just worked out, even if i wait to where it asks me if i want a Wine only install and i change the config file, it re-writes to it and my change is lost :( |
So I am a little confused, do you mean you got it working?
Also, a side note rather... mkdir -p /path/to/directory will make all directories leading to that path if they don't exist. So you could have typed: mkdir -p ~/.transgaming/c_drive rather than 2 lines ;) Oh, and I think maybe Neo meant rather that what you said here: Quote:
At least that's my interpretation, and I am sorry if you did do that and I misunderstood you. Cool |
Sorry MasterC. I had a laptop here that i was installing linux onto for somebody and decided to try WineX on that and that above post was related to any issues with that one.
We can forget about that i guess (unless the exact same thing happens to my machine) :) What I've done is converted my NTFS partition back to FAT32 so i can resize it and give a bit more space to linux. The thing is, all i want to do is resize the FAT32 partition, take off say 800 meg and give it to linux, but ill be buggered if i can work out Parted because I don't understand all this cylinder stuff, like where one partition starts and finishes and how to change it, etc... Any help? |
Well i think cylinders work like this for eg.
Code:
Partition 1 start cylinder 1 end 345 sorry i forgot how to list my partitions properly that shows filesystem cylinders etc....i know its like Code:
cat /somedir/partitions Garry :D |
fdisk -l is the command I believe you are looking for GT ;)
As for how cylinders relate, and things of that nature is beyond me. I don't understand very well the following about drives: cylinders (I know what the actual physical piece is, but the number I don't) heads (same as above) Primary/Extended/Logical partitions So good luck :) But yeah, the command to display those things is fdisk -l (FDISK -L lowercase) Cool |
