No internet connection with Opera and Safari

operate · Post by **operate** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 4:54 pm

I'm using Debian 4.0r3 and Wine 0.9.59

I installed Opera and Safari successfully and they run but they cannot connect to the internet.

I'm wondering if this has to do with the fact that I use an ethernet modem ? Is there something I need to configure ?

How could I solve this ?

Are you on a 64-bit OS?

Yes, 64-bit.

Sounds like that problem with missing package that prevents all 32-bit apps from resolving domain names. Can you try and connect by the IP address? If that works - they indeed the missing package is your problem.

You are right, if I use the IP address instead of the domain, they work.

I don't know what package you are talking about... I googled and found "ia32 Suite", is this it ?

Can't find it myself. Debian package maintainer Ove said he will add that as a requirement. Must be slopped through the cracks. Or will be done for 0.9.60.

I can't, libnss-mdns isn't my package so I can't do anything about it
myself, other than warn the users. It doesn't make sense to have Wine
itself depend on lib32nss-mdns either, as Wine does not need the
functionality in it. If libnss-mdns isn't installed in the first place,
Wine works.

In the 0.9.60 package, I've replaced the now-removed winelauncher with a
simple script that checks whether the user has a broken resolver, and
puts up a warning if so, telling the user to install the missing package.
