"The graphics driver is missing. Check your build!" problem

Post by Yeti »

Hi all,
I tried to install wine using 1.5.18 packages via Muon.
I'm using KUbuntu 12.10, nvidia driver 304 with a gforce gtx 260M
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
The graphics driver is missing. Check your build!
If i run glx info, i get :
glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
Games with a native linux client (Heroes of Newerth) run without a problem, so do video softwares. Anyone got a clue about this graphic driver stuff ?

By "tried to install Wine" do you mean you didn't succeed? What is that error message from--Wine, or Muon? If you can't even install Wine, this is a package/package manager issue and you need to ask for help on the Kubuntu forum.

Muon got no problem, I got the error when i try to run an installer (Eve Online) with wine.
Before installing it with Muon, i tried to compile it by myself using the wow64 technique, but it failed because of my inability to find some 32bit dev files (running on 64bit system). So i nuked the wine directories and tried Muon.

Damn, i think the forum ate my answer post ...
I succedeed in installing wine with muon after trying and failing to compile it myself (tried the wow64 build but i couldnt find some 32 bits libraries). This message comes up when i try to run Eve online installer.

Reinstall your graphics driver, and make sure you have the needed 32 bit parts.

I reinstalled the nvidia drivers, which work perfectly with Heroes of Newerth.
Where can i find the 32 bit parts wine may need on a 64 bit system ? (and, more important, which are they ?)
Thanks for the intel on moderation and new comers, i was thinking I had memory lapses.

Problem solved by the easiest way : formating my hard drive and installing from scratch ubuntu again. Installation and running the Eve setup wizard went fine now :)
