winetricks help

[NiksaVel]

Hi,

I'm having a problem using winetricks... I've made a clean install of Daryna KDE (ubuntu gutsy based) and have the latest wine installed from the winehq repos...

I have winetricks installed and can start it, but when I try to install anything I get the following:

Code: Select all

niksavel@darth:~$ ./winetricks
Executing wget -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/arial32.exe
--12:40:04--  http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/arial32.exe
           => `arial32.exe'

niksavel@darth:~$                       

If I try to run

Code: Select all

wget -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/arial32.exe

manually than it works normally... it's some kind of a permissions issue. I was under the impression that I was supposed to run winetricks as a user, not with sudo... in fact if I try to run it with sudo than the download works but it fails at install saying that I'm not the owner of the directory... the owner is me (niksavel) and not root... so I should have permissions...

I've tried deleting the entire .wine and reinstalling everything to make sure I didn't mess up any directories but it's always the same... for some reason I couldn't find anyone else having this issue....

help pls...



right now I am using a workaround by chowning my ~/.wine with root
than run winetricks with sudo

than chown with my user again

Check ~/.winetrickscache directory. It should be owned by you of course.
