Wine is installed, now what?
ok I have xwine installed and wineseuptk configured.
Im trying to RTFM but something (me being stupid or tired) is wrong. From winehq.com You could run the file c:\windows\system\foo.exe with: $ wine foo.exe So I copy notepad from my XP machine to the virtual partition wine created c:\windows\notepad.exe when I run "$wine notepad" I get: $ wine notepad wine client error:9: version mismatch 131/139. Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly, or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH. Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running? hmm ok so maybe I cant use wine.. maybe I need xwine???? so I try that from a prompt and it just starts the xwine application without notepad. 2 questions. 1) what am I doing wrong 2) is there something easier I can try to install/run? Thank you! Im off to bed. |
is it notepad.exe or notepad?? and why use notepad when you have editors installed...
|
hes just using notepad to test to see if wine is working correctly.. i dont have a solution though i cant get wine or winex to work either
|
anyone else care to take a swing at it?
|
Wine only works with Win9x compatable programs, NT programs won't work. The Wine I just installed came with it's own notepad , just typing notepad in the run line or a terminal will run it. My last wine wouldn't run it's note pad but blew me away with what it would run. This new version that I have runs notepad just fine, but nothing else will run, I guess I have to try to find the old RPM that I had.
|
well if you find it can you please post it, I cant even type in the runline.
I have been looking all day but I still dont know how to install an app (ie Setup.exe) or run an app in xwine. |
plenty of how-to's @ http://frankscorner.org
|
notepad.exe or notepad
you know about unix sensitive file names. wine notepad # wine notepad.exe |
anyone try running winamp in wine?
that might just solve my problem with RH9 and MP3s |
Why bother with WinAmp. Just install support for mp3's in RH9 with.....
http://havardk.xmms.org/dist/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rh9-rpm/ And i think WinAmp has a Linux port any way. |
its called xmms
|
Yep, but there is actually a WinaAmp application for linux. Besides xmms.
|
long story short. i have clicked something in the GUI and even with the correct codex and other players i can not get RH9 now to play mp3, thus wine might be a good option if winamp will work in it and play my music for me.
it is something i have done, and there is a thread in this forum with what has been tried and failed. |
What are you using to play music? Xmms?
If you installed mpg123, mp3's should be playable in any application. |
yup xmms, i know but RH did something and i was stupid and clicked the do not show this again. now no matter what i install including the rpm for mp3 1.2.3 or what ever it is that 'bypasses' RHs lock on MP3s will not work.
like i said its something i have done. |
