ffi Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I´m trying to make a shortcut (both on the desktop and in one in k menu) to a wine application but it won´t launch, it launches when I directly click the .exe I´ve tried the command directly and with wine before it, eg: home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe wine home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe I´ve checked and my wine server is running.

iphitus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 There's native builds of opera for linux! http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/ however, wine home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe would need a / in front of home wine /home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe Also ensure the process 'wineserver' is NOT running before you run anythin in wine, as this often indicates a past crashed wine session or a currently running one.

ffi Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I´m sorry I forgot to copy the / ,it was in the shortcut however. I stopped the wine server and it still won´t run. (native linux builds for opera suck big time btw!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 You might be better with: wine "c:\program files\opera 9 beta\opera.exe" Don't forget to close the line in quotes like I have above, but with wine outside of the quotes. This is how I normally run apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
