html rendering is currently disabled

Post by Ret »

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine 1.10. Before installing Wine I had installed Firefox 3.0 final release as instructed on the Ubuntu site. It said not to uninstalled the version of Firefox that came with Ubuntu because it may break Gecko and other things, so I didn't uninstall it.

I've now installed Wine 1.10 and have installed one application, however, it gave me a prompt to install wine-gecko which I said yes to and then it gave me a window for the program that said "HTML rendering is currently disabled".

When I tried to run it again it just gave me the "HTML rendering is currently disabled" message and didn't say anything else.

After doing some searching I found a message that suggested runing:
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks gecko

After doing this it now asks each time to install wine-gecko which I say yes and then it gives me the same old message " HTML rendering is currently disabled".

What does that mean by that it is disabled? How do I enable it? Did I mess up Gecko some how when I installed Firefox 3.0 final release?

Thanks for any help.

You could, next time perhaps, try the forum Search function from the Forum Menu on the left panel of the page to see if some else has had the same problem and what kind of help they received. :)
