SWTOR requires 30Gb, wine has only 20 Gb. Allocate memory+?
SWTOR requires 30Gb, wine has only 20 Gb. Allocate memory+?
I have been chosen for beta testing of Star Wars: The Old Republic. First day is tomorrow. The installer program says that I require at least 30 Gb, but Wine only has 20 Gb available. Is there a way to increase the space on the hard drive available to wine? Is any body else doing SWTOR on wine?

Sure. Do it the same way you would increase the space available to any other app: delete something or get a bigger hard drive.darKoram wrote: Is there a way to increase the space on the hard drive available to wine?
Now, if what you meant to say is that Wine is not seeing all the space you do have available on that partition, that would be a bug.

That was on your Mac or on one of the Linux distributions? This mayI installed the game earlier, and just recently again for the new test weekend, and Wine had no issues letting the installer
see my 300+ gb free, so this might not be a Wine issue, but a problem with your machine.

I don't even use Wine on Linux.. I haven't since pre 1.0 so yes.. this was on Mac OS X which I've been using to play the Beta.jjmckenzie wrote:On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 8:40 AM, doh123 <[email protected]> wrote:That was on your Mac or on one of the Linux distributions?

Thanks all,
I keep forgetting, I have 150 Gb free, but on my "D:" drive /media/DATA . My linux and thus wine are on a partition called filesystem with only 20Gb free. At the moment, the swtor.exe installer seems happy enough accepting 11Gb instead of 20Gb, and an icon is put on my desktop. But double click and all i get is an embossed window frame with the desktop image. Something starts for a few seconds and then disappears. The process doesn't die completely cause if i click again it says, "only one instance can run".
I tried shrinking my D partition to transfer space to linux, but things got tricky and i'll have to wait for backup before attempting again.

The game told me it required 25Gb, but it looked like it used that in
chunks - 4gig, then 12gig, then 8 gig (basic info, main assets, patch to
current). If those overwrite parts of each other you may be able to get
away with less than the full amount at start, but I do not know if that
is the case.

thanks for the suggestion.
I right-clicked on the swtor desktop icon and chose properties. From there i was able to grab the argument and run it directly in a term

Any idea what that's all about? By the way, I was also able to use the wine configure tool to add D: drive, though i don't know if programs will be smart enough to use it.

I used gparted, and yeah, i've been backing up stuff for a week. I've needed to expand my linux part for a while as i do a lot of dev work on it. Unfortunately gparted stalled while shrinking the d: drive (several hours) and i was sure a shrink shouldn't take that long, so i aborded. The data is still in tact, but gparted won't let me attempt resizing until the ntfs is fixed by a windows program, which i currently don't have. Hence the wine.What did you use to attempt this?

the Windows "fix NTFS" program under wine. I suppose it might work,
but I would not be at all surprised if it just made things worse.
I can think of 2 possible approaches at this point:I burned a clonezilla-gparted live cd and then rebooted.
Gparted just had problems with my NTFS drive for some reason.
My machine started off as a windows7 box, but it now fails to
boot, so i moved on to linux about a month ago.

Thanks for the tips.
I did get a hold of the windows recovery disk, but it wasn't up to the task. The computer is actually still under warranty, so i can ship it back for a re-install of windows, but i need to find another computer to work on in the mean time first.
Good advice on the fat32, i'll likely do the wipe and resize you mentioned once i've got all my "backup ducks" in a row. I just wish i could run star wars in the meantime!
Am i correct to assume that wine can't run Internet Explorer of any edition? I tried IE7 and IE9 with no luck.

I do have both wine and winetricks installed.
I suppose by associating a file with winetricks i can make it run with that instead of wine, or run from command line.
I found iexplorer.exe in ProgramFiles in the .wine folder, so I guess it was there already. I don't know how to determine the version - the explorer help menu just says iexplorer. But perhaps that wasn't the problem.
I also found the readme for swtor. It says...
MINIMUM
-------------------------
OS: Windows 7
Windows Vista with SP2
Windows XP with service pack 2
Does wine or winetricks emulate all versions of windows and service packs, or do i have to specify and/or get crafty?

Winetricks is a script to install some commonly-needed native dlls and a handful of Windows apps. You can't simply "associate" files with it or use it instead of Wine. (It uses Wine.)darKoram wrote:I do have both wine and winetricks installed.

That's Wine's builtin iexplore. It is not real IE. Use winetricks to install IE7 or IE8.I found iexplorer.exe in ProgramFiles in the .wine folder, so I guess it was there already.
Wine emulates Windows XP SP3 by default, and that setting works for most apps. You can change it to any version of Windows in winecfg, but shouldn't unless it's necessary.Does wine or winetricks emulate all versions of windows and service packs, or do i have to specify and/or get crafty?
I tried terminal $winetricks ie7
It downloaded and started to install but then gave the error:
windeows Internet Explorer 7 is not supported on this operating system
looking for iexplorer7 on http://appdb.winehq.org i found others with similar problems. Not sure if there is a standard workaround.

i tried again with
winetricks ie8
i got the same message, but followed the instructions
To start ie8, use the command wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore'
This starts an iexplorer, though perhaps it's still the wine one? It doesn't have all the functionality of ie7. For example, there is no "tools" button. The swtor support pages suggest troubleshooting with
Verify Internet Explorer proxy settings are correct. They can be found under 'Tools'->'Internet Options', 'Connections' tab, 'LAN Settings'. The default value is 'Automatically detect settings' with all other options unchecked/blank.
Since this setting can't be adjusted in iexplorer gui, is there any other way to check the setting?
By the way, all the programs i run with wine seem to have a very msdos style window, just old-school, not very sleek. Is that normal or is there a graphics setting i need to change?

The AppDB reports that as a problem with 64 bit IE7 only, and winetricks only installs 32 bit, so I don't see how you could have gotten that message from winetricks.darKoram wrote:I tried terminal $winetricks ie7
