I have just installed 'Wine' via Ubuntu's package manager. The program does not show up anywhere under 'Applications', so I try to run it from the command line - still no luck. I have double-checked with the package manager and via the command line that the program is installed and both say confirm that it is. Please see screenshot for terminal output information. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, David.
Wine doesn't do anything if you run it with no arguments. Wine doesn't have a GUI, so if you want to install the windows version of Firefox, you would do: Code: wine FirefoxInstaller.exe and then go through the installer. Be warned, wine has varying degrees of success, some programs will run poorly, some won't run at all. If you're looking for commercial Windows app support, then consider CrossoverOffice, but for things like Firefox (which works well with wine) then wine should work. Once you've gone through a windows installer successfully, wine will create a Kmenu entry for your new program.
Thanks, Addis. That is a good help. I was just confused because I installed 'Wine' in Mandriva 2006 and that had a GUI. Cheers, David.
WINE has a control panel. Type: Code: winecfg BTW, you might want to check out the WINE link in the Links section of the Getting the most from Ubuntu sticky
