ERROR: Menu Icon Not Associated To Any Package

[cheese]

Mint 18.1 Serena Cinnamon
Wine 1.8
installed SketchUp 2016 through Wine
SketchUp icons appeared in Menu under Wine, but they don't work, SketchUp won't come up

path names of the icons are correct, does this problem has to do with SketchUp specific libraries?
added SketchUp install folder as "new override for library" through Wine Configuration
field in that form is too short and won't let me complete the whole path, (no scrolling)

copied the install folder to /home for a shorter path, no luck either
where else does an installation through Wine are file created?
do i have to manually edit every registry entries?
anything else i missed?
better ways of doing this?

has anyone seen problems similar to this, and what did you do to solve them?

thank you dimesio for the pointer!

installation put SketchUp icons in the Wine menu as well as on the desktop. the desktop icons don't work either.
don't know how to get to edit properties of SketchUp icon in the Wine menu, right click doesn't give such an option.

SketchUp desktop icon property does not show a "last parameter", no /Unix part, it ends with //SketchUp.exe; the wine part doesn't point to to start.exe either, like this:-

env WINEPREFIX="/home/joe/.wine" wine C:\\Program\ Files\ \(x86\)\\SketchUp\\SketchUp\ 2016\\SketchUp\\SketchUp.exe

right click on SketchUp icon in Wine menu gives an "add to desktop" option, did that, and the property of that desktop icon now shows the "last parameter", like this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/Start\ Menu/Programs/SketchUp\ 2016/SketchUp.lnk

didn't work.

hand edited this path, removed the back slashes, to this,

env WINEPREFIX="/home/joe/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/joe/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/joe/Start Menu/Programs/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp.lnk

didn't work.
added double quotes around the "last parameter", didn't work.
added single quotes, didn't work.

oddly enough, if i hand edit the command for the desktop icon created by Wine installation to same as the above, with no back slashes, no double quotes, like this,

env WINEPREFIX="/home/joe/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/joe/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/joe/Start Menu/Programs/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp.lnk

then i got an error popup saying "file not found", but the link file was there at that path.

again, all these were done to the desktop icons, not those in Menu -> Wine, for i don't know how to edit the command path there, no such option in my Mint -> Wine menu.

by the way, i installed SketchUp Pro 2017 earlier, didn't work, so i tried to install SketchUp 2016. wouldn't let me, said i have to remove the 2017 one. clicked "remove" button on SketchUp installer, it didn't remove, but simply installed once more. so i just deleted the whole /.wine/SketchUp folder. still saying the same. i deleted SketchUp registry entries. then installed 2016. don't know whether this has to do with anything, just in case.

any ideas?

You should have deleted the whole wineprefix and started over with a clean one. Try that now. If it still doesn't work, post terminal output.

[cheese]

You should have deleted the whole wineprefix and started over with a clean one.

the wineprefix folder should be on the same hierarchical level as the /.wine, correct?
i didn't see one. search on / didn't return anything either.

removed wine from Mint Software Manager, as well as Synaptic Package Manager.
installed Wine following instructions here:

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
chose winehq-stable

when it's done, still no wineprefix in /home, same level as /.wine, nor anywhere else in /.
Wine listed in Menu lost its icon.
SketchUp under Menu -> Wine didn't work, but other apps installed earlier still work.

Unless you created a separate wineprefix for Sketchup, ~/.wine IS the wineprefix, and that's what you need to delete and recreate. Uninstalling Wine won't delete any wineprefixes.

Alternatively, if you have other apps installed to ~/.wine that are working and you want to keep, you can create a separate wineprefix for Sketchup. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Can_I_store ... 2F.wine.3F

didn't know that before.

deleted ~/.wine, created ~/.wine again by installing Wine 1.8 again, don't know how to create otherwise.
same thing.

could it be deleting ~/.wine is not enough, something is still carried over?

[cheese]

deleted ~/.wine again, but this time did not reinstall Wine.
created ~/.wine again in terminal by typing:

$wine winecfg

then installed SketchUp through Wine again.
this time, didn't get desktop icons created.
Menu -> Wine icons looked the same as before.
SketchUp didn't work.

then installed LTspice XVII through Wine again.
all desktop icons created.
Menu -> Wine LTspice icon looked the same as before.
both desktop and Menu -> Wine icons worked.
LTspice works every time.

Deleting ~/.wine won't delete any menu items or desktop links. You have to delete those manually. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_wi ... llation.3F

Also, 1.8 is over a year and a half old and no longer supported. Upgrade to at least the latest stable release, and preferably to the latest development or staging version.

I don't know if that's the cause of this specific problem, but you do need to fix that.

installed the development version.
did not get a Wine item/icon in Mint Menu.
~ $wine winecfg would bring up the cfg form though.
apps installed through Wine had no icons created at all.

nowhere to find app commands, is this normal?

i have the following ntlm related stuff installed,
libheimntlm0-heimdal
Heimdal Kerberos - NTLM support library

libheimntlm0-heimdal:i386
Heimdal Kerberos - NTLM support library

there are many available, but not installed, for example,
libntlm0
NTLM authentication library

libkntlm4
NTLM Authentication Library for the KDE Platform

gss-ntlmssp
GSSAPI NTLMSSP Mechanism -- MIT GSSAPI plugin

etc..

most of them have version numbers 0.x.x or 1.x.x,
only libkntlm4 for KDE has version number above 3.x.x, but in a different format 4:4.14.x

how do i tell which ntlm package i should install for Wine to work with SketchUp?

[dimesio]

installed the development version.
did not get a Wine item/icon in Mint Menu.
~ $wine winecfg would bring up the cfg form though.

As stated on the Ubuntu wiki page:

Menu items are not created for Wine's builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.

apps installed through Wine had no icons created at all.

Winemenubuilder only creates menu items when you install something in Wine, and only does that for apps that normally create menu items in Windows. If you reinstalled the apps after deleting the menu items and they were not recreated, the problem could be this: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#I_deleted_m ... et_it_back.

how do i tell which ntlm package i should install for Wine to work with SketchUp?

None of them. The package you need will be called winbind or samba-winbind or something like that, and you need both the 32 and 64 bit versions. If you need more help than that figuring it out, ask on the Mint forum; I can't really help you much with package names as I don't use Mint.

[cheese]

many tks, i quit
