Installing FM

[xiah]

Hi, i'm pretty new to Linux and having a little problem with installing FM 2012. I've tried installing via Steam and it isn't possible (If anyone knows how it is please tell me!) So i've done a little reading and trying to install using Playonlinux but having a few problems. First of all I followed this guide http://asivarajan.blogspot.com/2011/11/ ... -1110.html . Once POL asks me where I want to load my install from (CD) I hit next and it asks me if I want to make another shortcut, I hit I don't want to make another short cut and this is my full terminal start to finish. I can't understand what's going wrong because I'm running sudo and the program just closes! Can anyone help?

Hi, i'm pretty new to Linux and having a little problem with installing FM 2012. I've tried installing via Steam and it isn't possible (If anyone knows how it is please tell me!) So i've done a little reading and trying to install using Playonlinux but having a few problems.

Ask on the PlayOnLinux forum. Third party wrappers are not supported here; this forum is for plain Wine.

First of all I followed this guide http://asivarajan.blogspot.com/2011/11/ ... -1110.html .

Outside howtos aren't supported here either. Ask the person who wrote it for help.

I can't understand what's going wrong because I'm running sudo and the program just closes!

Look at the Steam Applications Database page for hints on how to run
programs installed via Steam. If the program will not install from
Steam, please capture a log file and post it to a site like
pastebin.com and post only the URL in this topic.
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal and
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log provide steps on how to do this.

Hi James, I've tried everything but can't find the install location for FM 12 under steam, I've got the .dmp file which is the error that comes up if that's any good? [/img]
