Hi,
I have had to change my home directory, in Linux User administration (Ubuntu 9.04).
I changed also all my launchers, and for Wine they now start with
Code: Select all
env WINEPREFIX="/home/mynewusername/.wine"
I still get :
Unable to launch the application
Changing the directory to /home/myoldusername/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ [...] has failed.
Yes, the directory /home/myoldusername doesn't exist anymore...
But I don't find where it is still present !
I can browse C: drive with the Wine Menu.
Can you help me ?
Thanks !

Did you change the rest of the launcher command to reflect the new path?

Have you tried creating a new launcher?

Yes, I just did and it worked.
Maybe there is something stored with the launcher that we can't update...
And this is not a Wine issue.
Thanks.

I'm guessing Gnome still don't let you change work directory (which is part of all links Wine creates)?
