start ADE

[danidani]

Hello everybody!
I installed ADE (adobe Digital Editions) last version (4.5.1 or something like that) on my Ubuntu 20 and on my Linux Mint 19.3, then updated to Linux Mint 20. In any SO this does not work. I am not expert of Wine, so please tell me what could I do to make ADE start on my computer.
Thank everybody.

Did you try the workarounds from the AppDB?

[danidani]

Yes, I did, except Dot net 4.0 that cannot be installed (microsoft software installation do an error)...

[jkfloris]

Did you use (an up to date version of) winetricks?

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dotnet40

[danidani]

I tried your command, but it does not work. It gave me an error.

@danidani

What's the output from:

Code: Select all

wine --version
winetricks --version

- to check that both Wine and Winetricks are up-to-date.

wine version: 4.0
winetricks version:
20201206-next - sha256sum: df61d998a52758d6070e1a32030901d2308f642d5edbbb3558c717bc3b1e2e7c

I managed to do it on Ubuntu!
But I want it on Mint, I don't know what I did wrong.
The command I wrote was Mint.

[Bob Wya]

wine version: 4.0
winetricks version:
20201206-next - sha256sum: df61d998a52758d6070e1a32030901d2308f642d5edbbb3558c717bc3b1e2e7c

We can't really support Wine version: 4.0, as the current Wine stable release version is: 6.0 ...
See: WineHQ Wiki: Ubuntu.

"Error: there are some damaged package"
I always have this message, also when I update Mint from 19 to 20 and from 20 to 20.1
do you know what is?
In another forum a guy talked about pulseaudio
now I'm searching the answer...

[danidani]

I resolve it, I installed Wine 6.0 on my Linux Mint.
But ADE still doesn't work...

[jkfloris]

You can try to use winetricks to install Adobe Digital Editions

Code: Select all

# Make sure winetricks is up to date
sudo winetricks --self-update

# Install ADE 4.5
winetricks -q adobe_diged4

[danidani]

It give on my terminal an infinite processing, but now it works!!!
Evviva!!
Thank you!!!
