There might be something I'm missing in your edits (unless it's purely for line duplication)
I have inserted "

Give me a hint to pipe the output to a file. I have tried things like > or tee with the export command, but I'm not experienced enough that it worked. Did you wanna the output from term or from export?
Thanks for your efforts

There is a bit of steep learning curve moving from Windows to Linux.
The former holds your hand in a vice-like grip and the latter holds your hand... till it lets go...
The trouble with Wine is it's so patchy.
I was playing
GTA IV, with the new
DXVK DX11➡
Vulkan translation layer the other day.
Very impressive performance...
Yet you can't even get an old game, like the
Sims 2 to work...
A lot of the problems Wine has are with bad coding practices in Windows games/ applications and heavy-handed DRM measures.
If you want to redirect wine output to a file it's something like (BASH shorthand):
Code: Select all
/home/frank/usr/bin/wine start /unix "/home/frank/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/EA GAMES/Die Sims 2/TSBin/Sims2.exe" &>~/wine_sims2_log.txt
or for other shells, long-hand form:
Code: Select all
/home/frank/usr/bin/wine start /unix "/home/frank/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/EA GAMES/Die Sims 2/TSBin/Sims2.exe" 1>~/wine_sims2_log.txt 2>&1
Essentially this means: "redirect the
stdout (1) stream to the log file, then redirect the
stderr (2) stream to the same target as the
stdout stream".
If you then want to paste this log file in the forum, or a Pastebin-type site, you can put it in your Desktop Environment clipboard buffer thusly:
Code: Select all
cat ~/wine_sims2_log.txt | xclip -i -selection clipboard
Assuming you have the
xclip utility installed.
There are also command line tools that will directly paste to a specified pastebin-type site.
