Ubuntu: How to play PC Bin/Cue files?

[jimtiimber]

morning! I did as above, here the script: '

jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ chmod -R 775 /home/jamie/.wine
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ winecfg
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"C:\\windows" could not be created, error 2
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"C:\\windows\\system32" could not be created, error 3

Man, im itching to play!!

[unknown_error]

okay you really messed up your wine install somehow ^^

so try to rename /home/jamie/.wine
with following command:
mv /home/jamie/.wine /home/jamie/.wine1

after that launch winecfg again

give errorness output if available ^^

edit:
mv means moving... so renaming is the same as moving an file/folder...

[jimtiimber]

ok, heres what came up:

'jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ mv /home/jamie/.wine /home/jamie/.wine1
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ winecfg

It opened the Wine config box, and my drives are now just cmapped to ../drive_c) and Z:.
Would it be easier for me to fresh install wine?

Are you in US? Thank you for you patience. I believe teaching me once will mean i can help others in the future.

[unknown_error]

damned

but youre right...

you really need to rebuild the kernel modul 4 wine.

in order
sudo apt-get remove wine
should work
after that do a fresh install
sudo apt-get install wine

and look out for any errors in your terminal while installing!

got this done... winecfg should finally work

if it doesnt:
try to remove whole wine with any cinfig file included:
sudo apt-get remove --purge wine

and no im not in the us...
sure getting startet with linux isnt that easy
but starting with windows applications in linux is much more difficult
but everything can be solved

[jimtiimber]

ok, removed no prob. I think i reinstalled ok, but just in case this is what was said:

when i did winecfg this time, no errors came up this time in terminal, and opened the config immediately. The drives present are again C: (../drive_c) and z:. (does it matter i have the bin file unmounted at present?)

[unknown_error]

sounds great

so be patient if you ran out of space or something remember this line:
"The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

libpq5 html2text classpath libaprutil1 libsys-hostname-long-perl
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them."


now get that game mounted again with acetoneiso ... in case there is no need for configuring wine... it does everything it needs when you start winecfg for the first time!

sou if go to /home/jamie/.wine there should now be a folder called drive_c (remember ls -la)


now get to your folder where acetoneiso mountet the image:
eg.
/home/jamie/Desktop/A/
and give it ls -la once again
now there should be your setup.exe
call it with
wine setup.exe

the installation should work properly without any errors... and you should be able to choose where to install ---> C:\Program Files\Blablabla ||| equals to ||| /home/jamie/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Blablabla

got it ?

[jimtiimber]

ok

1 - removed packages as above.
2 - mounted fm2005.bin to Acetoneiso2, this opened a drive on my desktop called '1'
3 - Went into Wine directory, did ls -la command. I can see C: here

4: I tried to open 1 drive through terminal using
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ cd /home/jamie/Desktop/A/
bash: cd: /home/jamie/Desktop/A/: No such file or directory
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$
but it couldnt see it. Also, if i go find the folder through places>desktop the only folder showing desktop is the one with the .bin file in, the '1' drive is not there, it has its own drive in the places column (between cd-rom and bin). Is this a prob??

EDIT

I managed to get in and did ran the only.exe file, which was autorun.exe and it started to install, but had an error (it's in French, trying to transate now. HEre was the terminal script:

okay sry... ^^
i thought it was A the new mounted volume is called...

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/iso/2.png

hmm i dunno acetoneiso well so i dont know where it mounts the image when you hit the button...

you could take a look for setup.exe in following dirs:
/media/
/mnt/
/home/jamie/.nameofbin
/home/jamie/.acetoneiso/

or just klick the browse image button in acetoneiso gui ?!

but i think it is mountet somwhere in /home/jamie

if you dont come to an point with that ...
mount the bin!
sudo apt-get install locate
sudo updatedb
locate setup.exe

this should give you the path =)

---------------------------------------------------------

okay ^^

dont use the file autorun...

get in the folder called PC
there should be an setup.exe or something else

(the d on the beginning of that lien means its an DIRECTORY =)

[jimtiimber]

as above, i manafed to try install, the fm2005 instal page came up, tried to unpack but stopped with a French error message that just tranlates as 'The assistant was interrupted before the end of the installation of FM 2005. No modification was brought on the system. To finish the installation later, want to restart the installation. '

Booo. This isn't going to work is it? Shame, i know i works on this laptop as i used to play it withXP.

[unknown_error]

hmm i never tried this game i only thought i can help you...

but this page here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=2507

shows up every working game/application that was manufactured for windows and is working "properly" in linux/wine

so this game got a GOLD ranking! means it has to work!

this isnt an original copy of the game isnt it ?

but that shouldnt be the problem...

im stuck

is the image corrupt? maybe?
