What do I need to know about Wine?

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:33:08 +0000

In relation to the Mandriva 2011 operating system.

What do I need to know about the software entitled "Wine"?

...

First of all, based on what you know about it.

Is it worth having on a hard drive?

Also, is there a better alternative?

Thank You,

Mandriva in an OpenVZ Container?

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 07:45:43 +0000

I'm curious to know if there might be a more recent version of Mandriva in an OpenVZ container than Mandriva 2006.

Having been a long time Mandriva user and now playing with OpenVZ on a nice, hefty server, it would be nice to be able to work in the nice, familiar environment of Mandriva.

I'm specifically looking for 2010.0 or newer. Or should I give the 2006minimal a try and see if it'll take an upgrade via urpmi... then clone it?

Reading/Writing to Floppy Drive

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:08:21 +0000

Hi,

I am trying to use my floppy drive (haven't done that in nearly a decade) so I can burn a new BIOS for an older computer (not mine). I need to burn this out of WinXP, which I am running in Virtualbox. WinXP doesn't see floppies when they are inserted and I have no signs of one within 2010.1. What am I missing? Any hints would be appreciated.

Virtualbox KERN_DIR error

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:28:27 +0000

Hi All,

I've recently moved over to Linux ( having tried it in the past, but not having the free time to learn how to run it as I want).

I have worked on computers since the 8086 days/ DOS, in the early 80's and been through the Windows mill ( 3/3.11/win95/win98/win2000/winxp etc), running both desktop and server environments.

I am quite impressed with the 2008 build and am currently running kernel 2.6.22.16-desktop-1mdv. My problem is I cannot find the kernel files in /usr/src, which I need to set the KERN_DIR to enable virtualbox to run correctly.

I have installed Virtualbox 1.5.6 but am unable to start any virtual machines.

My error code is:

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.

VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code:

0x80004005

Component:

Console

Interface:

IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

the log file shows:

Makefile:75: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again. Stop.

I would like to stick with this distribution, but am stuck between having already set up virtualbox on Scientific were the src kernel was in the usual place ( /usr/src ) and I could point the KERN references to.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

( I've also posted this on the Mandriva forum)

Issues with Wine menus in Mandriva

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:56:58 +0000

Alright a big issue I see in Mandy 2010 is wine, and playonlinux menu creation.

It seems that neither wine or playonlinux menus are working with mandriva, I use both as I do need some windows apps here and there but not enough for a dual boot or Vbox install.

The menus work fine in openSUSE and Ubuntu in both KDE and Gnome, but not in Mandriva's KDE or gnome.

3D Desktop

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:53:59 +0000

Hi all,

I'm a new linux user and have just installed Mandriva 2009 Spring Edition on my VirtualBox VM. I cant seem to get my desktop to spin. I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on the exact steps i shuld take to get this 3D spinning effect.

I've downloaded all update packages and when i want to enable the 3D-effects in Computer configuration i'm unable to do so. I know there's something that needs to be done to enable this option but cant figure it out.

Your assistance or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance,

Vboxdrv - Not loading after a shutdown + reboot

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:18:01 +0000

I have the following rpm installed.

VirtualBox-3.0.10_54097_mdv2009.1-1.i586.rpm

I installed it using urpmi on the command line. It installs fine, and I can run a XP-home-sp3 installation without problems. After I shutdown, and boot the system up, Vbox will not start the guest system. It reports a 'NS_ERROR_Failure 0x80004005' and RC= -1908. The prompts tell me to run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'. When I do, it fails to build and insert the vboxdrv module. It reports a 'vboxdrv: No Sybbol version for Struct_module'.

Some system information, I'm running 2009.1. Uname -a reports :

Linux Duelie 2.6.29.6-desktop-2mnb #1 SMP Sun Aug 16 23:23:47 EDT 2009 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ GNU/Linux

I have verified DKMS is installed. I run a 3d desktop, and that will not compiled without DKMS.

I think something is not installed for the current kernel. Bit what?

If I uninstall the VirtualBox rpm and re-install it, all works again until I shutdown and re-boot. I don't leave my system running at night.

I have been to www.virtualbox.org and looked for solutions, but have not found a fix for this.

Your thought would be appreciated.

The kernel packages I have installed...

I seem to have achieved the impossible with Vbox

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:15:46 +0000

I recently decided to reinstall my virtual copy of xp, the only major change I made from the previous install was the partition on which the .vdi file lives and the mount point. So my setup is that I run vbox from ~/.VirtualBox as is usual, but the virtual hard drive is on /dev/sda12 which is mounted as /mnt/windowsvm or not - this is where the confusion lies. As I run vbox from a user account I have chowned both the folder /mnt/windowsvm and the vdi file itself (xp.vdi) to my username. The only difference from the way it has been running in the past is that previously I housed the old .vdi file on /media not /mnt. The old vdi file and containing folder have been deleted, so cannot be influencing things in any way.

At this stage I should tell you that the installation runs perfectly, there is no fault whatsoever with the way the virtual copy of xp runs and there is no fault with the way the computer runs, but something impossible is happening.

If I use fstab to mount /dev/sda12 as /mnt/windowsvm then start virtualbox, it immediately says that the drive is inaccessible. If I comment out the mount command in fstab so that /dev/sda12 is unmounted, then virtualbox runs perfectly!! Now that is impossible, but that is what appears to be happening.

I can confirm with both the 'mount' command and 'gparted' that /dev/sda12 is unmounted and yet the virtual hard drive that lives on that partition works normally. If /dev/sda12 is mounted (again confirmed by 'mount') the vdi it contains is inaccessible. WIHIH!

I don't want to overload this post with too much information at this stage, let me know if you want more, but I will include the fstab entry here - you will notice it is commented out - that is the only way vbox will work????

#LABEL=windowsvm /mnt/windowsvm ext3 relatime,rw,user 0 0

I should also add that /dev/sda12 is a freshly formatted ext3 partition that has been error checked twice now with no errors reported. Also I am not running xp from a 'saved state' or a 'snapshot' in my home folder, only from the 'unmounted' vdi file itself.

EDIT. I did change virtualbox versions recently as well (v3.0.4) is this new version capable of mounting linux folders by itself? It would certainly know where the vdi file is located as that information is in the ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml file. Having said that, I just started xp in virtualbox and then ran 'mount' in linux - there is no sign of /dev/sda12 being mounted.

Hot to expand Vbox XP client across dual monitors

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:31:41 +0000

Gamecube emulator

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:58:06 +0000

I installed gcube because I have one and a bunch of Gamecube games (including the Zelda classic collection). I have no idea what to do now, since so far my system can't recognize the Gcube game disks.

Any help?

Need help getting psX playstation 1 emu to work

Sun, 31 May 2009 01:13:06 +0000

Hello

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Software, Games or Emulators subforum, so I decided to post this in the Software subforum.

I have a Playstation 1 and I also have a legal copy of the Playstation 1 game I want to play with the pSX emulator.

My computer has Mandriva 2009 Spring One withj KDE 4.2.

My computer has 1 GB RAM, a 200 GB hard drive and an ATI Radeon 9200 PRO graphics card.

I am trying to get the Playstation 1 emulator psX to work.

I previously had gotten psX to work fine on Mandriva 2009 and Ubuntu 8.04.

I downloaded the compressed file containing the latest version of psX from its official website, and then uncompressed the compressed.

The compressed file contains the psX binary for running the psX emulator, and a readme text file with instructions on getting psX to work and how to use it, and a folder named BIOS for putting a Playstation 1 BIOS file.

I followed all the instructions in the readme file, including putting a Playstation 1 BIOS file (SCPH1001.bin) in the BIOS folder, and installing all the required Linux dependencies.

After that, I made sure the psX binary was executable and then I ran it.

After running it, it asks me where the Playstation 1 BIOS file is,

I select the PS 1 BIOS file (called SCPH1001.bin) in the BIOS folder, and then a faint window appears and then disappears.

I don't know why the psX emulator isn't working.

Please help me get it working.

network in KVM

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:33:12 +0000

This is my situation:

MDV 2009, IP adres on eth0 for my private network.

I configured a second eth0:0 for my professional network.

I installed KVM, WinXP as guest. Everything is working fine, but I cannot configure the virtual machine so that is member of my private network. With VMware, there is no problem as I indicate it is a bridged network. I found several instructions on the web, but none of them is working. Is there someone out there, who can help me?

kernel header file?

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:17:36 +0000

I'm using Kernel 2.6.24.7.2mnb If I can't "make" this header file somehow, where can I download it? Trying to get VirtualBox to load, and this is the last thing I need in order for it to work. All other install errors are gone, but this one.............. I don't even know what a kernel header is, but apparently I need it or VirtualBox will NOT work..........

Any help is appreciated.

Wine Doors Crashing

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:49:35 +0000

Allright well on my way making my first steps in Mandriva ... Ran in to a second problem (First one is the Lexmark-printer that just won't work) I can't seem to solve after severall hours of research :unsure:.

When starting Wine Doors all I get is the first-boot screen, where I enter my name check the 'i have a valid windows license' box then click proceed the buttons grey out and nothing happens. The bar that should fill up just states idle.

why won't any of these commands work? [solved]

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 10:11:19 +0000

Ok, i may just be super dumb, but i am trying to install World Of Warcraft Wrath Of Lich King over my cedega WoW but my problem is that it doesn't install and i found on the net that you have to type a command to have the "hidden" items show to install (via copy and pasting to desktop i think)

I tried all of them, i know my uid is 500 and i know mandriva uses su not sudo, but what am doing wrong when i type this commands and they don't work?The umounts work, but the mounts don't

the commands here don't work http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/b..._id=4997;tips=1 http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9817 http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9826

most support goes for ubuntu anyways.

when my cd is mounted (normal way) this is what it says

/dev/sr0 on /media/Lich King type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500)

if anyone could help i would really appreciate it, thanks!

Mu online on Linux is a beautiful sensation

Wed, 02 Mar 2005 23:20:56 +0000

How to play Mu on Linux with Wine:

My install: MDK 10.1, Kernel 2.6.10, Xorg 6.8.2.0, Wine 20050211-2, NVIDIA acellerated drivers (GeForce MX 4000).

1- The Wine is the normal wine, is not winex or cedega.

2- Install Internet Explorer 6 with the script sidenet 1.8.1. Get this at http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/.

3- Don't let the script Link the Fonts folder.

4- I installed the MS core fonts, but don't know if it is necessary.

5- Copy the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/wine and msttcorefonts (if installed) to ~/c/windows/fonts/.

6- The configs that metters to fonts are this:

***

"PerfectGraphics" = "N" <- You can let Y here to gain some glality.

"ClientSideWithRender" = "Y" <- N will be a pain, but works too.

"ClientSideWithCore" = "N" <- N to gain some frames.

"ClientSideAntiAliasWithRender" = "N" <- If Y here the fonts don't apper.

"ClientSideAntiAliasWithCore" = "N" <- N to gain some frames.

"UseDGA" = "Y" <- Is needed to play games.

"Drivers" = "winealsa.drv" <- For good quality sound, but other works too.

"Managed" = "N" <- As a option to the launcher may be good.

***

7- Install wine-utils is not necessary but is good.

8- Remeber to put the Mu folder on a place that are seed as a letter drive for wine, ~/c/windows/games/muonline for example is a good place.

9- Go Go Go... Play Mu and be happy.

10- Smile.

Ps. All the versions are showed only to documentation, may be work with other packages versions.

In resume, wine run Mu, with IE and fonts right configured. :D

My entire ~/.wine/config file if you want is attached and is here:

Upgrade VirtualBox OSE to full version? [solved]

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:00:06 +0000

What's the best way to upgrade the OSE of VirtBox to the full version? I need the built-in RDP server feature. Currently running the 64-bit edition of 2009.0 PowerPack. Was kind of hoping it would come with the commercial version of VirtualBox, since PowerPack includes other proprietary software, like nVidia drivers. Anywho, VirtualBox website has packages for Mandriva but they're 32-bit only. There's a generic .run file for AMD64 though.

New to linux, need help with partitions

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:35:24 +0000

Hey, I recently installed mandriva, and I'm new to linux in general. I'm trying to install software through wine and I ran into an issue

I got an error message stating

"There is not enough Free space on this drive"

To be honest I'm not the one who installed the OS, A friend did it for me, and He might have made a mistake with the partition size, I have a 120gb HD, and I'm listed as only having 4.3gb of space available

I have very limmited experience working with these kind of issues, and I'd appreciate any help I can get

-Thanks

Damn ~Â¹#{Â¹Â¹{~! VMWare2 [solved]

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:21:21 +0000

Hi,

I'm toying with VMWare 2 and it's currently driving me mad !!!!!!!!!!!

It installed OK, I created the VM, OK.

BUT how do I see the GUI of this damn thing???? Not the web one, that one's fine. With VMWare 1, starting the VM allowed me to SEE it booting. Now all seems to happen in memory and I can't find how to SEEEEEE the guest!

I found my way to the vmrun command and tried this:

[yves@sedentaire ~]$ /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmrun -T server -h https://localhost:8333/sdk -u yves -p xxxxxx start '[standard] VM/VM.vmx'

Although I see things happening in the events list in the web GUI, still nothing REAL on screen! Even if I append 'gui' to the command above, as suggested by the help text.

How does it work?

Yves.

Virtual Box OSE

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 09:57:53 +0000

Hi there.

For many reasons I want to run some Windows programs (Office 2007, CorelDraw, etc.) on my Mandriva Box. I tried to install Office 2007 through wine but couldn't succeed. Anyway I succeed with Office 2003.

Now I want to try to install WinXP on my Mandriva with a virtual machine. In MCC I search for VBox and I got dkms-virtualbox - VirtualBox OSE kernel module Version: 2.0.2-2mdv2009.0. I don't know if this is the package for running Sun VirtualBox?

Do you know some other VM that can be run in Mandriva?

Thanks

OneNote in Wine

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:16:38 +0000

I have a legal copy of Microsoft Office 2007, and would really like to be able to use OneNote in Linux.

I have a dual boot system with Mandriva 2009 and Vista. (The Vista, alas, came first).

All of my documents and such are stored on the Vista partition, and I access them freely from Mandriva.

I noted that the WinHQ claims that OneNote works with Wine 1.14 (my version).

How do I set it up? I have never used Wine before, and don't know what to do. Can I use the installed version on my other partition? Or do I need to install it again?

Thanks.

I am running 1.6.2 of VirtualBox non OSE version and have a difficulty accessing USB devices. I find that I can only access the device in the WinXP guest if I have had the usb device plugged in before I booted the system.

I see a bug that essentially says the same thing:

2009 KDE edition won't install in Virtual PC 2007

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:56:14 +0000

I'm running a Virtual PC 2007 machine under WinXP SP2 and I want to install Mandriva 2009 One KDE. I downloaded the BitTorrent and put the ISO in the Virtual Disk drive, and booted the Virtual Machine. It came up with the Mandriva logo and all that, said it was "booting linux kernel" and then it went blank and nothing happened. I rebooted again, pressing F3 and changing the graphics mode to Text. I got a whole bunch of wierd messages going too fast to read, and when it was over I captured the screen with VPC and got this:

I've done this several times all with the same result regardless of the kernel options I specify.

Can someone please help me?

VirtualBox Questions

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 09:45:47 +0000

Hi, I've just tried out for the first time today this virtualization stuff, as it says in the topic, I am using VirtualBox, I got it set up and working fine, I installed XP PRO :unsure: (just seeing if I can run my Tax software) , it's working fine and all, what I would like to know is, do you have to worry about defraging and viruses. I'm thinking that it may be possible to get a virus within the virtual XP, but it wouldn't effect anything on my Mandriva install, the need to defrag from within the Virtual XP, hmmm, I'm not sure, the whole concept has sought of blown my little mind, and I'm trying not to think to hard about it.

Thanks.

Need help installing pSX [solved]

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:55:42 +0000

Note: I own a Playstation 1 and I also own the games I want to play with the emulator.

I'm using Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. I want to run the playstation 1 emulator pSX.

This emulator works perfectly on Windows.

I went to the official website http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/, and downloaded the latest Linux version tar file.

I extracted the tar file, and put SCPH1001.bin ps1 bios image (this image worked perfectly on WIndows) in the bios folder of the emulator.

I followed the instructions in the readme.txt file which came with the pSX emulator, including installing al the required packages.

After doing this, I followed the instructions to open pSX, including making the binary executable.

I ran the pSX binary from the terminal.

A faint window frame appeared for a second, but nothing else happened.

This emulator works perfect on WIndows.

Please help me install this emulator.

Please don't tell me to use another emulator. I only want to install this emulator.

The network card is active in the virtual machine.

Is this supported ?

No sound in VMware Workstation

I just changed from VMware Server to Workstation because I need sound to do presentations for work, unfortunately, it seems Workstation isn't looking for the proper sound device? It's looking for /dev/dsp but always gives the error:

"Failed to open sound device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy. Failed to connect virtual device sound."

How can I remedy this? Do I need to disable sound in the host (Mandriva) first??

Virtualbox or vmware server?

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:39:21 +0000

I've used virtualbox and am impressed with it. Have also found that it's possible to run and existing xp installation from it too without conversion - not tried yet. I found a great link on building up a mandriva system on this site but it installs vmserver. I thought vmserver was payfor ware? Also does anyone have any opinions on the relative merits of these 2 packages. I must stress that virtualbox looks very good to me. I used the binary to get usb support. I haven't tried connecting to a networked printer yet but hope that a straight windoze printer driver install will look after that.

No sound in Wine

Any thoughts about what I can do here? Sound is kinda important to the games I play through wine.

Whenever I try to test the sound with the OSS driver, it says sound test failed. Alsa isn't listed at all, and a urpmi of Alsa wants to upgrade my kernel, which I will do if it will help.

2008.1 xen dom0 can't boot switchroot fails

Sun, 04 May 2008 16:33:45 +0000

I've installed Mandriva 2008.1 i586. Booting works ok without Xen using the 2.6.24 kernel. I'm now trying to set the machine up for Xen, I let drakvirt install the xen kernel. When I try to boot Xen, booting fails when it tries to mount the real root file system. /dev/root doesn't exist. Switchroot then fails. As far as I can tell the menu.lst and the boot entries look ok and the root does seem to be recognized as a device.

Grub Entry:

title xen-3.2.0 2.6.18.8-2

kernel (hd0,8)/boot/xen.gz

module (hd0,8)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen-3.2.0-2mdv root=UUID=a7ba2e19-d300-4e8c-bfe9-c802bc325ecf resume=/dev/sda7 splash=silent vga=788

module (hd0,8)/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen-3.2.0-2mdv.img

I tried changing root= to /dev/sda9, and also leaving it out completely. In each case I get the same results.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

VMware kernel source

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:11:42 +0000

If at work so I cant be real specific but here goes:

I installed the spring Mandy - all is good.

Went to the vmware site and downloaded the newest sever (.rpm) and installed it. When I went to run the config.pl it asked for my kernel source.

I thought no prob - open the add/remove software and I could not find the desktop kernel source. I found a few others but no kernel source for desktop kernel.

First - where can I find it? (Ill get the exact kernel when I get home)

also - with my system what kernel (with source) should I be working with. Ill get to rolling my own later but I just want a good working one for now. Even though I have a 64bit cpu I installed the 32bit distro for now. - specs in sig.

Running steam on wine

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:16:11 +0000

I installed wine and tinkered around with it a bunch tonight. The biggest headache so far was switching directories. Navigating to long file paths that you don't have memorized seems to be quite the pain. Is there an easy solution to this?

Anyway my first challenge is with steam. I got a handful of other windows apps running including utorrent, which is fairly exciting, so I know I have it installed correctly. I followed some instructions on a website; it looks like wine makes a fake windows of sorts in /drive_c/ so I installed steam in there and it seems like everything went fine. So I go to run it and it updates and gives me the login screen, but when I go to log in it gives me some authentication error like my account doesn't exist. Now I could be typing in my password wrong or something, but I really don't think so. I can check in windows later.

I noticed I got these warnings when I was trying to log on:

[root@localhost games]# wine steam.exe

The part after the 30 is where it stops, then I try to log on and I get the stub! things and it fails. I tried installing samba because that's where the file is from that it's complaining about earlier on, but that didn't seem to help any. Of course I could have messed up the install for it since I don't reall know what I'm doing. Also got a few warnings while steam was loading that I figured I'd throw up just for kicks.
