Rosetta Stone Language

[iamclueless]

running Debian Lenny
Wine 1.0
Rosetta Stone 2.08.1

rosetta stone installed and seems to run fine
does not detect the language cd

i found this in the AppDB
mount -t iso9660 -o norock,map=off,ro /dev/cdrom /whereyouwantRosettaStonetolook

it mounts the cd and changes the file names from lowercase to uppercase

theres also a command to mount the iso

after that Rosetta Stone works

however i would like to make this a permanent thing. id like to skip having to mount the CD or iso each and everytime i want to use the app

is there a way to do this?
thanks

Ask your distro forum/support. I'm guessing that file system on that CD is defective. That's why it doesn't work as-is with Wine. Which makes it not a Wine problem.

umm im not posting it as a wine problem

i followed the threads from WineAppDB...

this is a common issue, there are several posts on this topic (Cannot use language packs)

the common culprit is basically the naming of the files in the cds.

the solution i found was one from the AppDB

i am asking for more information on this fix... am i posting in the wrong place? should i be posting in it in the actuall AppDB?

The problem most likely is a defective filesystem on the CD. This is pretty common for some companies to create "windows only" CDs that can't be read as-is on other OSes.

People on your distro's forum might know how to add special mount options to only one CD. If it's possible at all.

If copy protection doesn't prevent you from using an iso, you can write a shell script to mount the iso and start the app, and create a desktop link to run the shell script. If you don't know how to do this, ask your distro's support forum--as vitamin said, it's not a Wine issue.
