www = wine won't work :-(

Post by Jim Dandy »

Just upgraded from 1.1.14 (that worked fairly well on some apps) to 1.1.15 on Ubuntu and it just plain won't work. Not even winecfg works. I get this for winecfg:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but to no avail. What to do?

Move or delete the .wine folder in your home directory.

Okay, so I deleted .wine and then installed 1.1.15 and it worked like a bought one. Great. Installed 2 favourite apps. Still good. Then I installed Google Earth and that wouldn't run and neither would the other 2 apps. Deleted and reinstalled the other 2 and still won't run.

Linux in general and Wine in particular is such a major, major, MAJOR load of crap so very often. This is now my tenth year of stuffing around with it.

What works in Wine, works. What doesn't, doesn't. It's still a bit of
a dancing bear and still really of good beta quality :-)

With Linux: if your hardware is supported, then it has Mac OS X-like
levels of "just works." (e.g. laptops with all-Intel chipsets.) If
your hardware isn't supported, it's a world of pain. Manufacturers are
slowly coming to realise they have to make sure their stuff works ...
it'll get better by and by.

You could install them in separate prefixes to prevent one app
screwing up another's settings.

When I installed Google Earth it broke something and now with everything totally removed including .wine and reinstall wine that someting is still broken.

I think I'll just give it a miss for a year or two. It's just not fun anymore.
