Black chip poker- windows app not launching

[neo1127]

Hello,

I am a noob Linux user. I have installed wine according to this tutorial: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=394972
I'm trying to run windows app, it's a 'black chip poker' online real money poker. I have there my account and I'd like to access it.

When I run the installer it goes thru and installs the app, but when I try to launch the app it doesn't work.
It doesn't give much details what kind of error, it just says: "The program BlackChipPoker.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close"

I have a 'backtrace.txt' but I don't have a knowledge on how to understand and find an error in it.

Can someone knowledgeable help me to solve this?
Thanks

It is not clear which version of Wine you have installed from the tutorial you have followed. You can check your version with:

Code: Select all

wine --version

Since this is a CEF program (Chromium Embedded Framework), I recommend using Wine version 8.x. If you don't have version 8, you can read the installation instructions here.

If you already have version 8, run the program from the command line. You may be able to see what is going wrong.

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/BlackChipPoker
wine BlackChipPoker.exe

When I test the program with Wine 8.0.2 (winehq-stable), I do get a JavaScript error, but I can see the login screen.
I don't have a login, so I don't know if the program works.

Thanks you!

I followed your instruction and it worked!
I also got that 'Java error'

I could log in but I can't do much, I can click here and there but it's very buggy and I can't navigate to my account,
After a minute app freezes and I can't do anything besides closing it.


I'm not sure if this can lead to cause of the problem, but this is what
I could noticed this kind of stading out in the terminal while app was running.


In Wine Debugger
0ae4:err:winediag:ntlm_check_version ntlm_auth was not found. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

It doesn't hurt to follow the instructions in the first error message.
Try installing the winbind package.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winbind

Thanks!
I did and it was a bit less buggy, but still I couldn't open my account details.
Luckly I was able to get access from there to my mobile and on my phone I can do withdrawals etc.

Thanks you so much for your help!
