View Full Version : [ubuntu] Unable to Install Multi-Disc Game

I came across an interesting problem. I'm trying to install The Sims 2 (which I'm aware currently does not run properly in wine anyway), using the multi-CD version. The installation goes normally, up until it comes time to switch from disc 1 to disc 2. The installer prompts me to insert disc 2, but it seems that Ubuntu still believes that the installer doesn't want me to open the drive, because, when I try to open it, it doesn't open, and a window pops up with the following message:
Unable to eject CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive
DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending
Anyone know if there's anything I can do about this?

there are 2 fairly straightforward ways -
open a terminal and go
wine eject
or do like in windows ( this method allows the eject button to work, maintains proper path for subsequent disk(s)
find the name of the install/setup file and the wine drive letter for the drive the disk is in.
Ex - Setup.exe in drive D
wine D:/Setup.exe

Thanks so much! wine eject worked perfectly.
