Garmin Communicator Plugin

CzarAlex · Post by **CzarAlex** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:24 am

I'm using the latest version of Wine with my ubuntu 9.04 system and trying to install the Garmin Communicator Plugin for firefox

First, I installed firefox via wine
then with that wine'd version of FF, tried to install the plugin.

I get this far.

This shot only shows the box in question. You're seeing part of my wallpaper in the background.

I can click the I agree box but cannot see any other buttons anywhere. I've tried moving the screen around, different resolutions. No part of the box is hidden in the sense that i can reveal it on my own. Any suggestions?

Try and see if native gdiplus/riched20/riched30 help (just a guess
looking at the dialog).

Terminal output?

If it needs to talk to the GPS device via USB (and not via a drive,
which you would need to set up) it would not work, since Wine does not
do drivers.

reports indicate that it works though I`ll still give it a try and would like to see it install.

Where do I find info on "native gdiplus/riched20/riched30" regarding how to install them and what not?
