Strange Applications' Wine submenu behaviour

2009-12-08T03:38:08Z

Some months ago I incorrectly tried to upgrade/uninstall/reinstall WINE and ever since my Applications' Wine and Other submenus has just not been right.

Instead of the Wine submenu having neat little submenus for every Windows program I had installed, just like Program Files/All Programs, it now instead has 3 entries and everything has been put messily into the Other submenu, see below:

[Image: http://i45.tinypic.com/v6rbzm.jpg ][Image: http://i46.tinypic.com/314ffir.jpg ]

My last attempt at fixing it was yesterday. I removed WINE using synaptic and then through nautilus moved the .wine dir in ~ to trash and deleted it. Then leaving my /home partition intact I formatted my / partition before freshly installing Ubuntu 9.10 from disc.

On boot I reinstalled WINE only to find I still had the same problem and curiously enough even the messy Other menu whose symlinks lead to files which no longer exist. To test the Wine menu I quickly installed a small Windows program and it failed to give me a sub menu for it in Applications >> Wine >> as it should and did before.

Perhaps I need to first remove a file which governs the Applications menu from my /~ dir before reinstalling the system again?

Also, I don't remember having these windowsprogram.desktop and windowsprogram.ink files cluttering up my desktop before I initially had the problem so it may be related?

Free Or Cheap Backup Software With Specific Functions

2009-12-08T02:01:21Z

Hi,

I've been using Driveimage XML for Windows Backups for some time. It get the job done. Incremental backup would be nice but since Windows is not my primary OS and I don't have a lot of files there, it works fine. There are two things that drive me crazy though:

1. On Vista/Windows 7, Driveimage forces me to deactivate UAC and restart every single time I want to backup.
2. Driveimage cannot restore to a partition smaller than the one it backed up.

Does anyone know of a backup utility, free or less than $20, That will allow me to do full image-based backups without either of these limitations? Incremental backups would be cool too, but this may be asking to much for the price range.

To that Gustav, pj please forward, if necessary:

Under Opensuse it will probably be the easiest way, if he installs the 1.1.34 wine-source, wine-devel packages. That way opensuse will automatically install all dependencies. Then he should be able to compile git, assuming that no new dependencies were introduced recently).

Slow printing

2009-12-08T00:41:57Z

Hi,

I successfully installed wine 1.1.33 and MS Word 2003 in my Slackware 13
box. However, when I am printing it is really slow. For example, if I
print 4 pages of text, the printer makes a 30 seconds pause between
pages. The printer dialog indicate that the WINEPS Printer using CUPS is
used. I use CUPS in other non-wine application like openoffice at the
printer does not make the pause.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carlos Q.

How to Convert Mod/Tod to AVI/MPG/MPEG, WMV/DivX/SWF (Mac/Wi

2009-12-07T23:59:38Z

Mod is the video file format used on many digital camcorders, such as the JVC Everio, the Canon FS100 and the Panasonic D-Snap SD-card camcorders.

Have you ever been caught in such situation: You recorded wonderful moment or happy pictures during holiday and wanted to share them with others? But you suffered from playing the video on your computer or other devices because most players and portable devices cannot accept the format (Mod/Tod).

Here I introduce a converter that can convert Mod/Tod format to other common video and audio formats for Mac and Windows user.

Part 1: How to convert Mod/Tod for Mac user

The converter you need is Tipard Mod Converter for Mac (http://tipard.com/mod-converter-for-mac.html).

Firstly, download and install Tipard Mod Converter for Mac (Intel Version (http://tipard.com/download/mac/mod-converter-intel.dmg) or Power PC Version (http://tipard.com/download/mac/mod-converter-power-pc.dmg)).

[Image: http://www.tipard.com/image/guide/mod-converter-for-mac/interface.jpg ]

Step 1: Run the converter and load your Mod/Tod files.
Step 2: Select the format you want to convert from Profile. If you like to set your own data, please click Settings button.
Step 3: Set up the output profile and the output file path. You can default the output file path or select your own path by clicking Browse button on the line of Destination.
Step 4: Start conversion.
After you set all the settings, you can click Start to start conversion.

This converter also has powerful editing functions besides conversion. Take some examples below:

1: Snapshot
If you like the current image of the video you can use the Snapshot option, just click the Snapshot button and the image will be saved and then click the Open button next to Snapshot button to open your picture.
2: Merge
If you want to merge several videos into one file you can choose them at one time and click the Merge into one file to do it.
3: Effect
Click Effect button you can do these actions: adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation of the video. You can easily adjust the video through two windows in the same interface.

[Image: http://www.tipard.com/guide/tipard-mod-converter-for-mac/effect.jpg ]

4: Trim
If you just want convert a clip of your video, then you can use the "Trim" icon to set the Start time and End time of the clip or you can directly drag the slide bar to the accurate position.

[Image: http://www.tipard.com/guide/tipard-mod-converter-for-mac/trim.jpg ]

5: Crop
By using the Crop function you can crop the black edge of your video and you can also drag the line around the video image to adjust your video to your Google Phone.

Re: Photoshop CS2 Refuses to Install

2009-12-07T23:42:52Z

I just tried creating a new drive (E:\) and setting it up explicitly as a "Local hard disk". It's pointing to ~/.wine/drive_d

Then I tried telling the Photoshop installer to install to the E:\ drive. This did not work, and resulted in the same error message as listed above.

Photoshop CS2 Refuses to Install

2009-12-07T23:34:34Z

I'm trying to install Photoshop CS2. The installer seems to work fine, but when selecting which folder to install to, I keep getting the following error:

[Image: http://www.projectgmc.com/temp/psinstall-error.png ]

I'm trying to install to the default directory as suggested by the installer:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2

I'm using opensuse 11.2 x86-64 with Wine 1.1.34 setup as default. My C:\ drive is configured as ~/.wine/drive_c

Does anyone have any insight into this issue? I've never had this problem installing Photoshop 7 before. I can't find any prior reference to it, everything seems to indicate that this should "just work".

Thanks,

Very kind of you to give me that info. Before your mail, following
this thread, I had gone to the official wine wiki and checked the
necessary packages to build wine on a 64 bit system. I don't have 1/2
of what I need. So I mulled it over and put off the process. Your
mail gives me encouragement. I don't know if Suse has a process to
get all the needed rpm's like Ubuntu has for it's packages. Otherwise
the amount of work is doable, but I am pressed for time. Let's see.
Wine is a fabulous program. I decided ten years ago that I would get
my program (Radar - homeopathic software) to run on wine. I'm still
short of that but I have not given up. Gustav

No, they are independent of Wine.

Wine, by default on any UNIX will install to either /usr or /usr/local. I've installed it on Linux and this is where the binaries and library files go. Vanilla Wine, compiled on MacOSX with dependencies installed, will install to /usr/local/wine and then symlink into /usr/bin. This makes removal a real fun task. That is why I like using .app packages. Everything goes into the package excepting local settings and user files (/Library/Application Support/<insert program name here> and ~/<insert program name here>.

Hmmm. Let me check that. I think my /Applications folder has most files owned by root or me (I am administrative user). I'll also correct that the files are mostly owned by root:admin or <user name>:admin. However, the files still have rwxr-xr-x (me) or rwxrwxr-x (root) which means that any user can run the programs. Utilities are another matter, as some of those programs can only be run by members of the admin group, which is 'good thing' because you don't want just any user running things like the Disk Utility.

That being said, the problem is that you have to be an administrative user, or have an administrative user's credentials to install a program on a Mac. So, the question still remains, if I use an installer, can I just as easily remove a program I no longer want or use? I know with a .app install, I remove the program from the /Applications folder, remove any user files (.wine in this case) and if necessary, any files in /Library and /Library/Application Support and I'm done, finished and all traces of the program are essentially removed. With an installer, files can and do go everywhere (take a look at Adobe Acrobat Reader for a good example.) 'Well behaved' MacOSX programs do have an de-installation plan and this should be enforced through some sort of de-installation process.

BTW, I've been through the .app versus the installer saga before. I'll advise that the .app routine was used for a while. I don't know the status of the program as I left the project just after it was 'taken over' and decisions are now made outside of the development teams control.

You have to remove and then reinstall the MacPorts as universal rather than x86_64. Wine for MacOSX will NOT build for X86_64 and will NOT be able to run any Win32 programs.

>Error: Try reinstalling the port that provides /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib with the +universal variant.

This is exactly what you must do. If you need help, please look through forum postings related to running Wine on MacOSX Snow Leopard or review this on the MacPorts web site.

>but it failed at the end because wine 1.x did not support snow leopard. but what's wrong with the devel build?

Nothing. Wine x86_64 is not stable, or in most cases usable. Thus MacPorts is not building it, yet.

I have made no such modification to my hosts file, and I registered

The AirPort one is the one you want. A "self-assigned" address means the
OS, not your ISP, gave it that IP address, so the Ethernet adapter won't
connect to the Internet.

There's an "Advanced" button in the Network Preference Pane. If you
press that button with the AirPort adapter selected, you'll get all

The reason Spotlight didn't turn up anything is that the /etc folder is

You left out some crucial information, like which version of Wine you're
running on which version of Mac OS X. If it's 1.0.1, you really need to
upgrade to 1.1.34 (the latest version). Also, some output from running

Connecting to the Internet

2009-12-07T18:13:08Z

I have installed Wine and a few programs are working but when I try to register them online it says that an internet connection could not be found.
I have tried these steps that I found online:
In the Terminal window, type "hostname" without the quotes.

3) It will return your IP Address, your domain, and your hostname for your internet connection like this (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yourhost.yourdomain.com yourhost)

4) This result should match your whatever your local ISP values are. If they match, then we need to try something else. If they are different, follow step 5.

5) Find and open the file ~/etc/hosts and see if there is an entry for your hostname. If there is an entry, you need to change it. If there isn't an entry you need to add one. The following example assumes your hostname is "yourhost" and your network IP address is 192.168.0.2

Original Entry (may also be blank):
xxx.x.x.x yourhost.yourdomain.com yourhost

Change this to (or add, if there is no such line):
192.168.0.23 yourhost.yourdomain.com yourhost

Save, exit, reboot, and try to register those software titles again.

But this is the only thing I get when I type hostname into terminal:
First name-lastnames-MacBook-Pro:~ firstnamelastname$ hostname
firstname-lastnames-MacBook-Pro.local

In the network settings it said IPv4 address is 192.xxx.x.xx under AirPort.....When I click on the Ethernet Adaptor (en4) the IP address is 160.xxx.xx.xxx (not sure if i should send those numbers online) but says it has a self-assigned address and will not be able to connect to the internet....not really sure what it all means airport is green and ethernet adaptor is orange, while ethernet and firewire are red.....

Not really sure how to find my local ISP values and i type in that file name (~/etc/hosts) in search and nothing comes up.....sooooooooo not too much luck with the instructions yet...

Can't really figure out anything and am pretty stuck...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do what it says:

-> sudo port install expat +universal

There's probably more ports that need to be installed that way. If it
gives you another filename (like /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib), just run:

-> port provides <filename>

where <filename> is the name of the file, and it will tell you which
port provides that file. Then you can install it +universal with:

-> sudo port install <portname> +universal

where <portname> is the name of the port that 'port provides' told you
provides <filename>.

You don't want that version anyway. It's over a year old.

Nothing's wrong with wine-devel, you just need to install some ports
+universal to get it to work on Snow Leopard. (I take it you're on SL,
right?)

Actually, this is exactly how you should remove the program. Yes it is ugly, but it is 'safe' as it removes the program and all settings to add it.

The 'old' method was:

rm -rf $HOME/.wine
re-install all programs
rerun winetricks

Re: Memory Limitations for WINE 1.1.33 under Mac OS Leopard

2009-12-07T16:39:43Z

Dear James:

I have a question about the following:

except he can easily right click the Wine folder here and hit "compress" makes a transportable zip, throw it on any other Mac's
/Applications folder, double click the zip... and its there on the other machine...

Except 'make install' puts files in /usr/bin and /usr/lib, not in the /Applications folder with vanilla Wine. I'm hoping that is not what we are discussing here.

If the following sequence below will not work according to what you have said:

./configure --prefix=/Applications/Wine --disable-win16
make depend
make
make install

What build sequence / options will place the all of final executables to /Application/Wine for example?

Most files in /Applications are owned by root:bin or root:root and have read/execute permissions for other users.

OK. For me just having the executables somewhere within the /Applications folder would be fine. Actually I plan the final installation location to be /Applications/Firefly/Wine In my case forcing this path to be fixed for each user is also OK.

Thank you for your assistance!

if it installs like normal Mac apps to everything in a single folder in /Applications... yes, you just remove the folder.

However, he needs to make sure that library files will be read from that location first as well or the libraries from the installed wine will be read in and cause confusing and erroneous results. For example the USB support code from Wine does not include dongle support but the built libraries will.

Yes, simple:

[code]
sudo make install

or
su -
make install
exit

[/code]

This will install Wine to the appropriate directories. This should be done AFTER insuring that your custom build will run!

Uninstall a winetrick

Hello,

can't find an answer to this one in the forum, except for re-installing wine.

I have installed winetrick msi2, thinking it might help with an installation - it didn't - what's more, I now get "are you running in safe-mode" or anyway to that effect, and will not install.

I have tried with rm -rf ~/.wine-clean; WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-clean wine setup.exe (works), but that seems a bit overboard when all I want to do is go back to the original MSI setting.

Is there not a simple sh uninstall winetrick msi2, or something similar, please?

Kind regards

Then there are captchas, where you have to tell, in which picture(s) women are, similar to the idea with the animals, they seemed quite secure, but it should be possible to adapt captcha software to that.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_04b9&Pid_0300\5&6d75465&0&1]
"ClassGUID"="{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}"
"HardwareID"="system32\DRIVERS\SNTNLUSB.SYS"
"Service"="SNTNLUSB"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNTNLUSB]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"="system32\\DRIVERS\\SNTNLUSB.SYS"
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000003

Hope that helps you. I have not yet tried it out, but will do this week.

Kind regards
