Ubuntu 7.10 Wine Issue
I can install Wine fine but whenever I try to use anything that associates with Wine (Running an exe, changing settings, ext) my computer just locks up forcing me to restart, I can't even move the mouse, and the clock even stops working on my computer.
I was wondering what I could do to fix this because I need Wine or I have to use my slow assed Windows computer. Thanks .

Re: Ubuntu 7.10 Wine Issue
Usually that indicates incorrectly installed or bad video or sound drivers. By definition Wine is a user program and should not lockup/crash your system, unless you are running as root.TheGuyWhoGotOn wrote:I can install Wine fine but whenever I try to use anything that associates with Wine (Running an exe, changing settings, ext) my computer just locks up forcing me to restart, I can't even move the mouse, and the clock even stops working on my computer.

You are reinstalling the wrong things.

What graphics card do you have?Hehe, I think you've forgotten how much of a Linux noob I am.The ones for your distro of course.Ok thanks, where/what sound/video drivers should I get?
Where would I find these? I've looked in Synaptic but I'm not

It can indeed lock up the system, I have the same exact video chipset

OpenChrome drivers (there are instructions in the Ubuntu community
documentation) and configure your system to use them, it's no easy
task. Involves a bit of compiling and understanding of modules &
xorg.conf, plus getting git and using it, IIRC.
I'd suggest you to get any PCI/AGP/whatever card you can grab your
hands on, hell, even a 4Mb Trident PCI card does the job better,
seriously, no hangs whatsoever and nice res, compared to this
UniChrome.
It has issues with WINE, with OpenGL apps, with almost anything you
throw at it, unless you stick to VESA, and are lucky .

@DARKGuy:
Well I can't believe that it would be that bad I've been using this graphics card for a LONG time and have never had OpenGL issues or anything, There should be an easier way.
I know I need a new graphics card though...64mb is what I'm looking at.

Aren't the "system" folders (whose names start with a period) hidden in
Ubuntu? You might gotta check some settings/preferences somewhere...
