Wine folder wrong

[Artista]

I keep getting this error



I am using opensuse 11.3 and I had Yast2 install it for me. and it puts .wine under my home folder "/home/jennifer/.wine/"and does not write it to the Doc folder. Is there any way in KDE 4.4 to change the path for that. I tried right clicking it but no option there to do anything about it. New to linux.

Also trying to get WoW to run, but dies at login screen. Movie intro plays great I have the new ati catalyst 10.7 installed and working fine.

Dual boot of windows 7 also if I need to grab .dll files or what not from there to easly.

Not sure if that error above is what can be causing issues. Tried oblivion also and it errors out. and a tetris game too.

The default directory is $HOME/.wine. You can use the WINEPREFIX
environment variable to put your Wine user folder anywhere you want.
You will have to either remember this or you can edit the user profile
file to make it permanent. Use of this variable is described in the
Wine FAQ at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ

You might want to backlevel to ATI Catalyst 10.5, if your card is
supported.

Dual boot of windows 7 also if I need to grab .dll files or what not from there to easly.

Not recommended. Using .dll files from Windows can cause problems. I
recommend using winetricks to install packages that are needed. World
of Warcraft hints and tricks are located in our Applications Database at:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=17421

This game is rated Platinum, which means that it installs and runs on
Wine 1.3.0 without any modifications.

With your problem description, it appears that you have video driver issues.

However and to confirm, can you run WoW from a terminal, create a
logging file and post it to a site like pastebin.com so we can look at it?

thank you so much for your help ^_^

[Artista]

ok I updated from wine 1.2 to 1.3 and tried again. With no luck. I made that file you were talking about.

http://pastebin.com/gsXsSdQq

I will see if I can find some more reading on it. Yesterday I even tried that 30 day trial of that program that is like wine that was sponsored on here with no luck. But that was when I was using open source drivers. I just updated drivers today for graphic. Either way with or without them the outcome was the same.

I did find out how to fix that folder issue and that was my main concern at this time. I hate clicking on something and it not working as it should. Thank you.

A possible problem is that you invoked the program incorrectly.

Can you try again after doing the following:

Code: Select all

cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WoW
wine WoW.exe > wow.log 2>&1

If WoW crashes, please post the entire log file to pastebin.com

Thank you.

Doesn't openSUSE 11.3 ship with the 2.6.34 kernel? If so, it's this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23323

[Artista]

ok I read that bug report. Yeah I have the 2.6.34 Kernel guy posted to upgrade to the 2.6.35 on and it should work, or atleast did for him. I will give it a try and see how it goes.

[Artista]

dimesio you are my hero that was the fix, I updated my Kernel, reinstalled my graphics card and it runs great! FPS right now are 50+ I can live with that..in Dal they dropped to 23-32FPS but it was not jumpy at all.

James McKenzie thanks for all your help too, reading those help files you posted helped greatly with the wine setup. Even going through stuff I somehow missed all that.

Your guys response was faster then I could have ever expected!



Here she is running nice on Opensuse Linux 2.6.35-18-default x86_64 with wine version 1.3 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2".

Thank you all so much been trying so hard to get it all up and running. Can't believe it was just the Kernel file >.< I googled the heck out of "wow linux crash login screen" and was trying all sorts of things that others said worked.

thank you!
