I'm currently running wine 6.0.3, which is the latest available from the ubuntu repositories. Installing wine and then using winetricks, I was able to get mspaint up and running, and small screenshots (e.g. print screen) come up fine in mspaint.
However, large screenshots (e.g. firefox full page screenshot of a large web page) receive "error getting clipboard data" in mspaint and don't come up. Since I had started "wine mspaint.exe" from a terminal in linux, the terminal also gave further details about what could be happening:
Code: Select all
0104:err:clipboard:convert_selection Timed out waiting for SelectionNotify event
This suggests that timeouts somewhere being made longer, possibly using winecfg or winetricks, would fix this problem. If that's the case, what
exactly do I need to adjust, so I don't have to do trial and error and possibly mess things up. Hopefully, I don't need a later version of wine, but, if I do, please give me details on where to get that.
