Now you're just putting words in their mouths. No one said anything about Linux being "beneath them", quite the opposite, in fact. They actually want to do Linux, they just don't want to half-***...
Anyone else having trouble getting Psychonauts to download from USC? I left the install running all night and when I checked it this morning, it hadn't progressed at all. I rebooted the machine and...
That's probably the copy protection on the game, Wine can't support it. You'll need to use a cracked executable. Don't ask where or how to get one, they are questionably legal (at best) and a...
Which version of Wine are you using, the stable from the Ubuntu repository or the development from the Wine PPA?
Mono is not quite a 100% fully functional alternative to .NET, so you could just be running up against a missing function of some kind. Wine is probably just spitting out a default error message for...
For testing website code functionality against IE, I strongly recommend against trying to do it through Wine. Not only is it nearly impossible to get IE to work properly in Wine, even if it did run,...
My only suggestion would be don't use Internet Explorer, it doesn't actually work in Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25
Is there are reason you need IE and...
Just grasping at straws here, but it might have something to do with the keyboard shortcuts associated with Unity, or some other plugin of Compiz. I know a few of the Unity ones are ALT or SHIFT plus...
Sorry to jump into this so late, but installing Wine itself using sudo is not only NOT a bad idea, it is required. Installing or running applications in Wine using sudo is the bad idea, as it changes...
It might not use HackShield, but it does use some kind of anti-cheat/hack software (according to the game devs), most of which work on the same principles and will never work with Wine. You'd...
The command "wineserver -k" should work just as well for killing any and all Wine-based applications.
Just a FYI, system crashes like that are not caused by Wine, but rather it is Wine exposing some other, deeper problem with your OS. Most often, it is actually some kind of driver conflict/problem,...
Where was "My Documents" linked to in Wine? By default, it is mapped to your home directory and if you overwrote your home directory in your 12.04 upgrade, you probably lost those saved games. Many...
PlayOnLinux IS Wine. All POL does is act as a front end for Wine, making some of the things you can already do with Wine a little easier to accomplish.
While I agree that a VM can be very helpful...
Don't install your patched Wine in its default location and specify which Wine executable to run by its path. I don't remember the default install path, but let's assume it's /usr/bin/wine, just...
Because there is an approval process that all submitted patches must go through before they are integrated into Wine. Until that approval is given, a patch cannot be integrated, but there is nothing...
Did you even read the article before dismissing it? Unlike previous reports that were based on rumors and anecdotal evidence at best (the infamous "Linux coding" found in the beta client), this is an...
You can ignore all those "fixme" errors, they are just developer notes about functions still not implemented in Wine (you can't fix them unless you are going to code and submit patches to Wine). The...
Yeah, you've been given a bit of bad info here. PlayOnLinux is not necessary, but it can be helpful, especially for inexperienced users. Steam works fine in Wine and has for years now. Now, the games...
Did you do what it says and install Mono? You can use winetricks to do that for you, it should already be installed with the default Wine package.
Wine shouldn't be doing that, it's probably the 12.04 upgrade doing it (those look like some leftover post-upgrade removals). The Google Earth one is a little odd; did you install it via a repo or...
It may be the most user friendly and have the most functionality, but it still won't work in Wine. You need to re-consider your alternatives or only run C&A in Windows.
