Ventrilo and wine

[Accessed]

I have managed to get ventrilo to work in SuSe. But I can only hear ppl when the setup
window is open. LOL Unfortunately, I can't talk while the setup window is open. Anyone
have any ideas?

With the latest wine versions PTT works even when ventrilo is not marked, But only when running games in wine, not native.

Thank you for your support and interest in the Linux client.

You posted this in 2005 and we are now halfway through 2008 - I guess we know where they stand!! Oh and they are up to version 3.0.1 now.

My sentiments exactly.

Flagship are really an amateur shambles. It really annoys me how they delete any post on their forums asking about the Linux client.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I've been trying to get ventrilo working for a while. Well today I got it working with no hastle and since a quick search here for 'ventrilo' turned up only one topic I thought I'd post what I found

Note: The version of wine I used was from the backports repository, I haven't tried any other version so step 1 may be unnecessary.

1. Add the extra repositores from the Unnoffical Ubuntu Guide:

http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#repositories

2. Install the following packages:

wine (version 0.0.20050419-1~5.04ubp1)
libwine (version 0.0.20050419-1~5.04ubp1)
libwine-alsa (version 0.0.20050419-1~5.04ubp1)
cabextract

3. Download Ventrilo:

http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

4. Make a directory for ventrilo and extract it:

mkdir ~/ventrilo
cd ~/ventrilo
cabextract /path/to/ventrilo-2.2.0-Windows-i386.exe

5. Edit the file:

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini

And add the following line:

MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm

6. Next you need to get your hands on the windows file 'msgsm32.acm' from an existing windows partition (C:/WINDOWS/system32/msgsm32.acm) and copy it to '~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/'.

7. Run vent:

cd ~/ventrilo
wine ./Ventrilo.exe

I hope it works, and I also hope I'm didn't state the obvious

I can now hear people which is GREAT! , but I still cannot talk. When I go under settings and hit monitor sometimes it says

"Codec Initialization failed: Unable to find specified codec."

Other times starts monitoring but it says "Abs Zero" over and over.

I take that back, I just played around with the devices and its working. Thanks for this guide, helped me alot.


BTW I was able to get key bindings to work.

One for example was I bount insert to 'mute microphone'.

You do it the exact way you would in windows, only thing is the mouse cursor seems to get stuck in the center when you opent he bindings window. I had to tab my way to the key input field and hit insert. Then I just slung the mouse to the right and kept clicking until it finally went into that field. Then just shift+tab untill you get to the top drop down and then select mute microphone then tab to the add button and hit spacebar....wala.

Undersettings make sure you have the correct inbound and outbound devices slected, also make sure mux is on record and line is on mic.
