Okay, I just had to search harder!
First Cup of Ubuntu
i'm running ubuntu 11.01 on an eMachine, but i replaced the motherboard to a MSI motherboard with a Pentium dual core e6300, running with 2gb of RAM & NVIDIA GeForce 6100 video card.
i've been struggling with this for the last 24 hours. every time i run WoW, i can log in to my account, select my character and click enter world, then i get the loading screen with the progress bar, at the next screen , wine crashes.
interestingly, from the terminal, if i run
the config file comes up blank, but if i browse manually to the file through the dashboard, it's there with all the edits recommended in the the how to.Code:gedit ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/wtf/Config.wtf
if i try to copy and paste after opening the file in the terminal, i get the following error when i try to save-
fairly new to ubuntu, but this is a deal breaker for my wife if i can't get WoW to run. please help!Code:Could not find the file /home/wifely/.wine/drive…f Warcraft/wtf/Config.wtf.

sorry for the double post. couldn't find the subscribe button otherwise...
Tea Glorious Tea!
You didn't say what version of wine you were using, stock or latest from the PPA?
Are you running Nvidia propritary or open nouveau video drivers?
Where did you get your wow copy from?
It sounds like you are editing config.wtf files in two different locations, or there some sort of read or write permissions conflict.
Are you launching wow from the terminal or using the launcher.exe?

Okay, the first step worked, but thenInstruction:
wget http://aewi.info/rgl/rgl.so
cp rgl.so /usr/lib/
LD_PRELOAD=rgl.so wine Wow.exe -opengl
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/rgl.so': Permission denied
A Carafe of Ubuntu
Think the command should be
sudo cp rgl.so /usr/lib/
The permission denied is a normal user trying to copy without "root" permissions
Way Too Much Ubuntu
I tried it with sudo but not with that order. I'll try it again...
... Well, no error but it's just not doing anything.
Did the next step anyway...anna@anna-desktop:~$ sudo cp rgl.so /usr/lib/
[sudo] password for anna:
anna@anna-desktop:~$ sudo cp rgl.so /usr/lib/
anna@anna-desktop:~$
anna@anna-desktop:~$ LD_PRELOAD=rgl.so wine Wow.exe -opengl
^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[Berr:menubuilder:init_xdg error looking up the desktop directory
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Wow.exe"

Well it should have copied it over, you can check using "ls /usr/lib/*.so"
And the second is it cant find wow in that directory.
"wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Wow.exe"
The wine command usually needs to be to the actual program folder i.e something like wine "C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\WoW.exe", putting it with the other command would be
LD_PRELOAD=rgl.so wine "C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\WoW.exe" -opengl
