ClipStudioPaint Pro for Linux Mint

[WJTiger]

I'm running Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) and Wine 9.0 and trying to install and run Clip Studio Paint version 1.13.2.

It seemed to install fine, but when running it after license verification there's a pop up saying that it is "setting up" and after clicking OK there's a tall blank window that appears to be frozen:




Attempted several Uninstall/Reinstalls with Wine config set to Windows 8.1 and 10.

Not sure how to look into this further. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The person who set Linux up for me helped me get further. I'm still getting used to the system. I can't seem to even open the program files folder. Sample address on right and how far I got by myself on left. I know to use cd to change directory but still can't list or navigate past just the c drive.

Can you give me a sample line of what to type?

Update as well: Can open "Clip Studio Paint" through .wine exe file but not "Clip Studio" so the Paint program loads with a bunch of blank windows and no ability to add brushes/open files/link with account.

Got someone to guide me through opening. By the error, looks like I'm just missing Gecko and maybe something else but I have even less clue how to add new features to wine.

[desessarts]

if you just do

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winbind

you will no longer see the message about ntlm_auth

but this is not mandatory


launch it again doing

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=+mshtml wine your_exe.exe

and post cleanly the result here, using the fifth symbol
first symbol is B for Bold
second is I for italic...

It looks like Wine Gecko is not (automatically) installed.
You can do this manually as follows:

Download the Wine Gecko installers (32 and 64 bit)

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads
wget "https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.4/wine-gecko-2.47.4-x86.msi"
wget "https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.4/wine-gecko-2.47.4-x86_64.msi"

Install Wine Gecko

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads
wine start wine-gecko-2.47.4-x86.msi
wine start wine-gecko-2.47.4-x86_64.msi

Progress! but..

Got Wine Gecko, this made Studio work. But it won't let me download my brushes. Clicking "re-download" material on the asset website doesn't do anything and Clip Studio app won't open the website.

Then got rid of that optional winbind. After I did that, now the whole section of options in Clip Studio is missing.
Below is what should be there and what the screen looks like now. I've included the terminal messages and app visual.

what is written in the terminal when you attempt to download you brushes?

[WJTiger]

Nothing. That Crash Annotation is the last message.

I clicked on the built-in ad for more brushes, no change to terminal, but it DID open a tab to the advertised page. I navigated to "Manage Materials" and the window tells me to download Paint.. which I have through the emulator.

The normal way to download material is to just go to the website, select, and download, they load straight to the Clip Studio Common file, and you can monitor and manage it in folders in Clip Studio. But if I click, "Re-download" on a brush I already have, my cursor does the wait sign for a split second to indicate loading but nothing happens. Nothing in the browser to suggests a download, no connection with Studio, and nothing in the terminal to suggest an attempt.

The area in which I would even look at the materials I have is missing entirely.

I am tired of Microsoft and always hated Apple.. Considering I have a slow enough side business based 50% on digital art and had to pause my Patreon, my only small, but consistent, income. I love how clean Linux is but is this too complicated for someone with limited tech ability? I don't have a sense of scale for how complicated these issues are.

This was a decent attempt but not one I had much time for. Decided to buy a Windows 10 key and wipe Linux from the PC in question. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy Linux when on a gaming desktop instead in the future, but I need my art program to work now!

Thanks all for the help and suggestions. Each one did push me a little further until the brush issue! Appreciate it!
