Need some help getting a program to work with Wine

April 24, 2003

Hello all. Ok, I have wine installed, and even got xwine (a wine frontend) to work. So far, I really only need ONE program to work (PowerTAB) and it wont install, I think it might be related to midi output but I am not sure.

This is the error I get:

file_set_error: No such file or directory

fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosError no mapping for 0001869f

file_set_error: No such file or directory

fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosError no mapping for 0001869f

XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0.0"

after 4383 requests (4342 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Any idea's?

Take care,

Rob

do you have a dual-booted machine? if so you may want to install it there then just use wine to run the program.

ciao!

Looks like you're missing an ntdll. (Captain Obvious to the rescue!! :wink: )

Try a google search for ntdll. You might need to download a copy and place it in the system folder in your fake windows directory.

April 25, 2003

ok, still no luck. This isn't a dual boot machine, Mandrake 9.1 is the only OS on it.

I tried getting ntdll.dll and putting it in the system folder of the fake windows dir, and no luck. Still get the exact same error :(

If anyone has any other idea's I would be most greatful!

Take care,

Rob

Is the ntdll.dll set as native in your config file?

Which version of wine are you using? If you have a version earlier than 20030408, I highly recommend you upgrade. There were issues in older versions that kept Mandrake 9.1 from running it.

Is there a place I get get a copy of PowerTAB? Maybe I could help you in getting it running if I had a copy.

April 25, 2003

as far as I can tell ntdll is set to native (I put it in the config file in the same format as I saw the other "native" files...but I must confess this is all very new to me)

Also, I am fairly sure I have version 20030408, but how do I make sure? (sorry if thats a dumb question)

You can get a copy of power tab here: http://www.power-tab.net/downloads.php

If you can help me get this running I will petition the governments of the world to declare your birthday a global holiday!! lol

Thanks for all the help so far

Take care,

Rob

Wow, this is a cool program. I might have to play with it a little. It could really come in handy for some things I do.

Needless to say, I did get it installed and running. :wink:

Don't worry about it. It was all new to all of us at one point. You seem to be doing it right.

Also, I am fairly sure I have version 20030408, but how do I make sure? (sorry if thats a dumb question)

It's not a dumb question at all. There's no such thing.

An easy way is to pull up a terminal and type:

rpm -qa|grep wine

You can also run a program called "KPackage". In there, go to File, then "Find Package", and type "wine", and it will tell you what version you have.

I'm pretty sure you don't have the latest wine installed, because I tried to install it, (and I use wine 20030408) and it installed and ran without a problem, and without me having to configure or change anything else beforehand.

You can get the latest version of wine for Mandrake right here:

Here is the link

Ok, I am getting pretty excited right now....

You were right,I had a slightly older version of Wine. So I removed that and installed the current version.

Now it actually let me install Powertab, but I cant seem to get it to run

I have tried from the CLI to type wine PTEditor.exe ...no dice, I get this error:

err:module:get_registry_value Invalid load order module-type L"so", ignored

/usr/bin/wine.bin: cannot find 'PTEditor.exe'

I tried from within Xwine and got the same error.

Please help

Take care,

Rob

Could you post your config file here?

I think that kind of error occurs when there's something not quite right in the config file. So we'll look at it and see if we can't fix it. 8)

It's in the ".wine" directory in your home directory.

doing a simple search for "tablature editor linux" will show you some linux alternatives - maybe you don't need to get powertab working under wine...

I have looked at a few linux alternatives, and to be honest, there just aren't any. There are programs who seem to attempt to be an alternative (such as KGuitar) but so far no program has ALL the features I am looking for.

PT is free, small, there is a HUGE amount of tablature available for it (and they are all free as well) , it can "play" the songs for you, so if you are unfamiliar with the songs you can get an idea of how it should sound (sort of a digital fake-page) and it is very simple to use. Put all these together and this little gem became an invaluable tool in my musical life...if there was an alternative that did all of these things I would use it. My loyalty is to the functionality that I want and need, not to any person or software company or OS, lol I am a techno whore!

Take care,

Rob

At first glance, I don't see anything wrong.

I'll first ask, and this might be a dumb question, when you typed "wine PTEditor.exe" the first time, was it actually from the directory that PTEditor.exe was in?

I'm at work right now, so I can't compare it with my own config file. When I get home, I'll take a look at your config file and compare it with mine, and suggest any changes.

I think there needs to be more information in the Dll Overrides section. But again, I need to look at my own before I can make suggestions.

I'll be right back.

April 28, 2003

ok, first problem solved (sorta) I was NOT typing wine PTEditor.exe from the directory the program was in. So when I did type that from within the correct directory, the progam launched!! I was VERY excited....but then I noticed the new batch of problems. I couldn't read ANY of the words...it looked like all the words were in some alien language...like nothing I have ever seen (if I knew how to take a screenshot I would post it here). Also, I couldnt get a demo song to play (although I am not sure what I was trying to load up, lol, since the text was EXTREMELY unreadable. Here is the shell output I got:

err:module:get_registry_value Invalid load order module-type L"so", ignored

fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance just using first face for now

fixme:msvcrt:_fstati64 :dwFileAttributes = 32, mode set to 0

fixme:commdlg:GetFileName95 Flags 0x00800000 not yet implemented

err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock Couldn't open device '/dev/floppy/0' for drive A: ! (no permission)

err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock Can't read drive volume info ! Either pre-set it or make sure the device to read it from is accessible !

Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file,

which is (supposed to be) '/home/rob/.wine/config'.

err:dosfs:DRIVE_GetLabel Invalid or unreadable superblock on /dev/floppy/0 (A:).

err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock Couldn't open device '/dev/floppy/0' for drive A: ! (no permission)

err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock Can't read drive volume info ! Either pre-set it or make sure the device to read it from is accessible !

Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file,

which is (supposed to be) '/home/rob/.wine/config'.

Invalid or unreadable superblock on /dev/floppy/0 (A:). Maybe not FAT?

Now the errors that are in there (I assume those are errors and/or problems) I am not sure how to deal with...any suggestions?

Take care,

Rob

We'll take this one step at a time:

First, in your config line that says:

[DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin, native, so"

"ntdll.dll" = "native, so, builtin"

Take out the "so" in both lines. That'll get rid of the numerous "invalid load order "so" errors you were getting.

By the way, you can probably get away with simply taking out the line with the ntdll in it. It is builtin to this version of Wine.

Second, in the part that says:

[Drive A]
"Type" = "floppy"

"Path" = "/mnt/floppy"

"Label" = "/mnt/floppy"

"Device" = "/dev/floppy/0"

Change the Device section to read "/dev/fd0" instead of "/dev/floppy/0". This will take care of your Drive A errors that you're getting.

That should leave you with just the font errors and the dll errors:

fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance just using first face for now
fixme:msvcrt:_fstati64 :dwFileAttributes = 32, mode set to 0

fixme:commdlg:GetFileName95 Flags 0x00800000 not yet implemented

I don't think you need to worry too much about the error with commdlg. You can try to enable a native version of it if it's still giving you problems, however.

Underneath your [fonts] section in your config, add this:

[FontDirs]
"dir1" = "/home/rob/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/Fonts"

This will add your actual fake windows installation font directory to your wine programs. This will make the fonts that were installed by Power TAB available to Wine (as well as other programs you use in wine).

I think the error with msvcrt is also not too much to worry about.

It wouldn't hurt to add this to the beginning of your wine config, right below where it says: "# [wineconf]"

[Version]

; Windows version to imitate (win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win30,win31)

"Windows" = "win98"

; DOS version to imitate

"DOS" = "6.22"

Other suggestions (not really required, but give it a shot if your program still doesn't run).

Find the program "NEWFNT32.EXE ", "corfnt32.exe ", and "dcom98.exe" and run them via Wine. They should give you the necessary dlls and fonts that some Windows programs will need. The links are below. The installer for Acrobat Reader also puts in some necessary dlls.

Okay, I just threw a lot at you. Hopefully this gets your program running for you, and I hope I'm not scaring you off.

Good luck, and post if you need any more assistance.
