I can't find the .wine folder

[davidlt]

I am a noob to xubuntu and also to winehq. I installed wine and my program seems to work fine, but when I save a file, I am unable to find it. I go to home/david/ and don't see a .wine follder.

Also, i search for "wine" and click on "run wine" and nothing happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You can't just "run wine"; you use wine to run Windows apps. As for .wine, that isn't created until you run something with wine the first time, and it sounds like you haven't yet.

Open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

winecfg

to create .wine. You should get some messages in the terminal, and then winecfg should open. Assuming that all works as expected, you should be able to find .wine in your home directory once you've set your file manager to show hidden files.

Thanks that helped a lot. I opened the file browser and hit Ctrl+H and there was the hidden .wine folder. Thanks again!
