Program installed fine, doesn't run though

[email protected] · Post by **[email protected]** » Tue May 19, 2009 9:06 am

I have a windows app that I installed on Ubuntu 8.10(Dell Inspiron E 1505). The installation went fine. Now when I start the program the program seems to start and then it vanishes away. I am just double clicking the windows app/program on my ubuntu Desktop to run it just like I would do on a windows desktop.

Are there any logs any where I can find what exactly is happening? This is my first attempt to get a windows app to work on Ubuntu and possibly OS X.

Thanks

Run it in the terminal and post the output here.

John,

Thanks much for your quick response. Here is what I did

I took the command from the icon on desktop (right click -> properties and copied command) and backgrounded the process and captured the log

Here is the log

The screen froze as usual and I had to hard boot, but then I disabled compiz and set the resolution as suggested. Ran it again from the Command line and now the computer does not freeze and the program starts and is running. I dont see any thing except a grey window in which the program is supposed to run

The fixme messages seem to be features that are not supported or bugs.

What app is this? Is that the full output? Put in on pastebin or the
like, it's a bit hard to read the way you have it.
