Oblivion doesn't work.

[renatozink]

Hi guys. I have read through the forum and also google, and I am still not able to install Oblivion on my computer. I am completely new to Ubuntu, so I really don't have much experience in using it. I am trying to install GOTY version in Oblivion. I also read through http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Linux and some parts were easy to understand, but I got stuck in many parts of it. Which I do not know if I don't have the correct commands for the terminal or not. Like I said, I am new to this and I am not a programmer either.

I got stuck in:

"export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/your/OblivionWine"
it doesn't say anything after that one.

Setup Wine for running Oblivion
I typed "winecfg" and says
"wine client error:0: version mismatch 0/378.
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?"

of course I also got stucked in some more, but those are the first ones, if anyone could please answer me and explain me how to do it. I will be thankful.

It sounds like your wine install is messed up. How did you go about installing it/ have you tried any other programs with it?

No I have not tried any other programs. I will try another program and see what happens

I tried different games and I still can't install them. it says I don't have the applications to read .exe .cab .isn .inx .dll and some others.

Can someone help me?

Yea your Wine install is messed up, how did you try to install it? I would remove it and reinstall it at any rate, hopefully that should help.

I installed the ubuntu version 8.10 and also the packages. It let me go all the way till the end of the page http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Linux, but at the end when I type wine setup.exe in the terminal, it outputs this:

renato@Ares:/media/cdrom$ wine setup.exe

Do you know what it means? I learned the commands for Linux, but I still don't understand what seems to be the problem.

This isn't WINE related:

You need to install/configure your video drivers. :p

What video hardware do you have?
