Wine in Refracta?

Postby spankmon » Sat Oct 22, 2016 10:39 pm

Hi people. I installed the os to my hard drive and got things working well. Then installed wine using synaptic pkg mgr. Install completed, but I cannot open the winecfg, and wine does not show up on any menu.

I have wine installed here. There are no menu entries but I do have launchers in the panel that work perfectly. winecfg also launched from cli.
May the FORK be with you!

Thanks for the reply.
Not able to launch the configuration from cli, error says file does not exist... but the wine folder is there in my home directory. I'll try reinstalling.

After I installed on devuan, I copied my .wine folder from a previous install. Maybe that's why winecfg works here. This is what I have installed on 32bit system:

    libwine
    libwine-gecko-2.21
    wine
    wine32

I resolved part of the problem... with a 64bit setup it was necessary to run "wine64 PROGRAM" rather than just wine PROGRAM for the initial setup. So I can now open the configuration, but am not able to create a virtual cd drive, nor detect the Optical Drive from within wine. So I can't install anything from a cd, dvd or mounted iso.

I don't know if wine needs gvfs to do what you want. It's not listed as a dependency or even a recommends. The absence of gvfs is the reason we don't get icons popping up on the desktop when inserting a usb drive or an optical disk. And it's missing because gvfs-daemons needs libsystemd0. If you want to try it, get rid of the pin file. etc/apt/preferences.d/00nosystemd and then 'apt-get update' and then install gvfs. This is a guess.

I did that yesterday. It pulled in the libsystemd0, but not the whole system d init thing. Wine still could not detect any drives. Maybe I'll reinstall Wine now and see if it detects any drives after the fact. If not, I guess I can live without Wine. Thanks for the help.

refracta has a pin file? and it works even after the change in apt?

thats really cool-- i havent tried a pin file since before that change, and i always thought two measures (pin file and server side) were better than one. its also nice to have a working example, since its difficult to find confidence-inspiring directions on how to pin anything these days.
