Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

[BETLOG]

I'm trying to get procon running, have had it working a year or two ago but now that I try to install it again it fails.

ie: it does not render the central elements of the window. (create account/ connect)

the error that always appears, and seems relevant is :

Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

The 32bit and 64bit bottle gives the same error.

Code: Select all

ln -s \

/media/user/steamdata/TOOLS/wine-mono-7.0.0-x86.msi \

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.wine32

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" wine msiexec /i wine-mono-7.0.0-x86.msi
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" wine uninstaller

NOTE: I am installing mono and not a dotnet because it seems to be required (and dotnet does not satisfy this/stop the error - mono does):

What wine version are you using and where did the wine version come from?
When creating a new wineprefix, wine-gecko and wine-mono are automatically installed if the msi files are in ~/.cache/wine. It should not be necessary to install them manually.

wine version

Code: Select all

user@betlogbeast:~$ env WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine32 wine --version
wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)

Presumably from the kubuntu repos, but I'm not positive (on this machine).

It should not be necessary to install them manually.

Not in my recent experience.

[BETLOG]

where did the wine version come from?

ok, notes are handy
# viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35423&p=133523&hili ... d.#p133523
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine32

[BETLOG]

Note that if I then add:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" winetricks ie8

ie8 throws a fatal looking error but then proceeds to install anyway.

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine32 wine /media/user/steamdata/procon/PRoCon.exe /q  2>&1 /dev/null

Procon then also correctly displays its' inner window elements

[BETLOG]

Damn it.
Turns out I was using mismatched versions of wine/gecko.
I could have sworn I got that right when i downloaded gecko. Evidently not.
