Bin32-wine vs 32-bit chroot environment

I run Arch x86_64 with bin32-wine for all of my windows applications, however I was wondering if there are any advantages (compatibility, speed, etc.) to running a 32-bit chroot environment for all of my 32 bit apps (which would only be wine).
Currently I only use wine for Office 2007, however I would like to run Deus Ex and Starcraft (maybe others in the future), and I'm currently unable to get Starcraft running. Deus Ex runs in windowed mode with safe mode on, but very poorly.
System specs:
ASUS UL30A U7300 dual core 1.3 GHz
4 GB DDR3
Intel GMA4500 MHD graphics
Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

I see.......thank you for the response. I wondered if I had to compile for the chroot or simply use pacman -Syu. That is indeed a large advantage.
I went ahead and completely wiped bin32-wine, all of the dot files, and reinstalled Office 2007, Starcraft, and Deus Ex. That fixed a bug in Office (files with space in file path not opening correctly from dolphin/konqueror/etc).
I also discovered that one of my problems with my games was that I somehow missed a few packages related to opengl. I stll wasn't able to get Deus Ex working just yet.....
I may go ahead and do the chroot, as that seems like an easier way of doing things after the initial setup.
If anyone has anymore input I would be grateful to hear it.

[SOLVED] Problems with setting up 32-bit chroot environment

Recently I've moved to Arch64 and decided to build chroot environment in order to have a working flashplugin, Java and some other applications without messing up system libraries of two different architectures. I've followed directly instrucions from the wiki, but unfortunately still can't make it work. I'm stuck with
Kod:
bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/arch32 start
:: Starting Arch32 chroot [DONE]
bash-3.2# xhost +local:
No protocol specified
xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
bash-3.2# chroot /opt/arch32
I've googled a lot, asked on Polish Arch Linux forum, but so far I wasn't able to find a working solution. Can someone more experienced give me a hand with this?

[solved] Wine with 3D under 32 Bit chroot - any how2 ?

Hi fellow archers,
I have set up a 32 Bit change root as discribed in the wiki here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64
The installation and configuration worked pretty straight forward. Unfortunately WINE doesn't find 3D acceleration. I installed Mesa inside the chroot but it lists softwaremode for the renderer when I do a glxinfo.
Do I need to follow the ATI guide in the wiki and install some libs like this ?
pacman -S libgl ati-dri
Or do I need to completely build Mesa within the 32 bit chroot ?
TIA,
D$

You're welcome If you don't have a wiki account, just register one and you should be able to edit the page you want. It's a wiki, after all.

At least Starcraft tells me that the original CD is not inserted although it is my original CD is inserted in the DVD drive. Under 64 Bit Ubuntu 9.04 works fine with WINE and the original CD.
Do I have to change my mounting approach ?
First of all: Do you use schroot and have your --bind mounts set up properly?
The Arch Linux Wiki wrote:mount --bind /proc /opt/arch32/proc
mount --bind /proc/bus/usb /opt/arch32/proc/bus/usb
mount --bind /dev /opt/arch32/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts /opt/arch32/dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/shm /opt/arch32/dev/shm
mount --bind /sys /opt/arch32/sys
mount --bind /tmp /opt/arch32/tmp
mount --bind /home /opt/arch32/home
You can just add the path to your arch32 rc.d script (if you use that) or to mount-arch32 (if you use schroot), e.g.
mount --bind /media/cd /opt/arch32/media/cd
Anyways, CD checks are a weird matter with wine… I can't get Warcraft III to recognize the CD either, so I'd just cross my fingers

[SOLVED]Wine on 64-bit - can't find wine libraries

Hi. I'm a n00b at Arch with 64-bit system and would like to install Wine. I downloaded it from here:

First, there is no need to relocate the system jdk. Part of your problem is more likely the result of a known limitation which is caused by the System PATH and/or CLASSPATH containing special characters like the parenthesis in (x86). So, do the following:
Before you start, be sure that your machine has a static IP address. If it does not, you will need to install the Windows loopback adapter. Read the Installation Guide and System Requirements for more details.
1. Clean up from your failed installation attempts. Be sure to also remove the C:\bea folder assuming no other product is using WLS.
2. Uninstall the 64bit jdk then reinstall it where you prefer it. I would recommend its default location.
3. Open a Notepad session and leave it open as a holding place to paste the following information.
4. Open the System properties. Computer > right mouse click > Properties > Advanced System Properties > Environment Variables
5. Locate PATH in the system variables and cut all of the values to the clipboard and paste them in the Notepad session you just opened above. Save this information for later.
6. In the PATH value, set it to the following, be sure that the path to the jdk is correct for your installation:
<blockquote>%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_37\bin</blockquote>
7. You will need the "generic" WLS download if you plan to run 64bit. This will be a jar file rather than an exe. Assuming you are using WLS 10.3.6, open a DOS window and start the installer as follows:
<blockquote>java -jar C:\PathToJar\wls1036_generic.jar</blockquote>
After you have completed the WLS installation and the FMw installation and configuration, you can reset your PATH back to the way you desire.

Automate gaming in 32 bit chroot ?

Hi fellow archers,
Gaming with WINE inside a 32 bit chroot works perfectly for me. I just want to add some more comfort.
I have not really found a good description on how to automate gaming within a 32 bit chroot.
There is a hint in the wiki to add an alias which launches wine inside the 32 bit chroot from your 64 bit system but how would I write a script which does:
1) Mount an ISO required for a windows game as loopback
2) Start the 32 bit chroot
3) Start the game via WINE inside the 32 bit chroot
4) Exit the 32 bit chroot
I know how to do this all inside a terminal manually but
...how do I "change into 32 bit chroot" from a bash script ?
...how do I call WINE inside the 32 bit chroot from the same bash script ?
...how do I exit the 32 bit chroot from the bash script ?
Additional to this I am not shure if it is smarter to mount the ISO inside the 64 bit system and export the directory to your 32 bit chroot ? Or is it smarter to change inside the 32 bit chroot and mount the ISO there ?
I am asking this esp. in regard to some "CD checks" of Windows games which sometimes seem to be very sensitive in regard how the media is mounted / presented to WINE itself.
As usual I would like to write things together and add them to the corresponding part of the wiki.
TIA,
D$

Hi Runiq,
Thanks for your help again !
Using schroot works perfectly for me when I use it to run darkplaces together with SDQuake.
In order to do more than one command within the chroot I guess I simply have to write shell script and launch this inside the chroot via schroot, right ?
I am not shure how schroot takes care for mounting / unmounting when I have several ISOs lying in my home directory which I require for different games. A lot of games work fine with "no-cd" patches in term of requireing the original CD but still rely on files stored on the CD.
My best guess is a combination of two shell scripts. One running under arch64 and one which is started via schroot in my chroot.
Cheers,
D$

Setting up a slim 32-bit chroot

My purpose of setting up a 32-bit chroot is to play some 32-bit games. When I install nvidia, it pulls in a bunch of other dependencies, such as kernel26, mkinitcpio, xorg (via nvidia-utils), and probably a bunch of other stuff.
The wiki wasn't exactly clear. At first it said I could clean up the environment a bit by getting rid of kernel26 and mkinitcpio. However, it says to install nvidia, simply put:
# pacman -S nvidia
Like I said, this pulls in a BUNCH of things, which may or may not be necessary. The kernel I'm not so sure about, but I'm pretty sure I don't need mkinitcpio and another X server running.

If hard disk space is not a big problem, I'd suggest just leaving things as they are. If it is, you should just force remove them after installing nvidia. Be aware that the next nvidia update would probably pull them back in, and you'd have to do it all over again.
You could probably just have a script to remove everything you know you won't need (don't forget to clear the cache).

Autostarting a daemon from a 32 bit chroot

hello
i have arch64 and a brother dcp 135c printer. brother does supply drivers for linux but unfortunatelly for 32 bits only. because i have a 32 bit chroot, i thought i would just remove cups, and then inside the chroot install cups again, install the driver and add the printer. i did it and it all works fine except for one thing: i don't know how to autostart the cups deamon (inside the chroot) on boot.
i tried adding cups32 to my list of deamons in rc.conf. first what i put in it was
schroot -p /etc/rc.d/cups $1
but it didn't work, so i tried
chroot /opt/arch32
/etc/rc.d/cups $1
exit
but with no more luck.
here's what i get when i try to start cups not from inside chroot:
# schroot -p /etc/rc.d/cups start
I: [Arch32-801204e2-dcae-4c65-901f-145b605d70e9 chroot] Running command: "/etc/rc.d/cups start"

ps aux | grep cups

as opposed to
root 6036 0.0 0.5 8720 2628 ? Ss 14:15 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd
when started from inside chroot.
could anyone help me please?

I am having the same issue. I want to start distccd, but when I run schroot /etc/rc.d/distccd start, it says [DONE] as usual, but the daemon doesn't come up in ps -A. if I manually chroot into /opt/arch32, I can issue the same command and it'll stay running. I'm assuming that schroot sandboxes the environment, and when the command releases the terminal, it kills all the processes associated to it.
How can I keep daemons running when they are started by schroot?

Arch32-light: minimal 32-bit chroot

Project page: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/arch32-light

I finally got around to going through the 32-bit chroot setup guide in the wiki and ended up with this. The project and man pages should explain everything.
As always, questions, suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Both locale.gen and locale.sh will only be copied if the user has installed locale-gen in the chroot. I've done it this way to avoid file conflicts when installing packages in the chroot with pacman.
Ah, I missed that. Thanks for the clarification.
The bauerbill alias that you've posted needs to be changed to work with arch32-light because the pacman32 configuration file and mirrorlist are located at /opt/arch32/etc/pacman32.conf and /opt/arch32/etc/pacman32.d/mirrorlist. This is to ensure that pacman32 in the host remains independent of pacman in the chroot (the base installation doesn't even include pacman in the chroot).
Yes, I caught that right after I posted it. I'll fix the alias.
Edit: Done.
I've never actually used schroot so I didn't know that it mounted anything itself. Note though that all the hook does is make sure that the daemon is running, which is expected anyway, so I don't think it can hurt to have the extra check. Aside from ensuring that the correct directories are mounted in the chroot, it also prevents files from being created inside the empty mountpoints.
Schroot has a precofigured makeshift fstab file for arch32 under /etc/schroot/mount-arch32. Since I never really did anything else with my chroot aside from running applications installed by pacman32 (or bb32 in my case), I left it to schroot to mount my stuff. That way I also didn't need to run the arch32 daemon the wiki specified. If I actually needed shell access to the chroot, I just launched schroot -p -- bash or schroot -p -- zsh. (I don't know if this could give rise to any security issues, though). I didn't try the more exotic cases however, like installing applications that need to change CDs in the middle of the process in chrooted wine…
I'll play around with schroot a bit to see if any issues come up with the mounts.

arch32 chroot /home/xxxx/Audio > paplay Front_Center.wav
Connection failure: Connection refused
How can I fix this?

I made this to work by the following steps:
1. Install pulseaudio and alsa-plugin stuff in Arch32;
2. Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa on Arch64 and enable "load-module module-native-protocol-tcp";
3. Edit /etc/rc.d/pulseaudio and add a line "cp /var/run/pulse/.pulse-cookie /opt/arch32/etc/pulse-cookie" after pulseaudio line in 'start' part;
4. Add some lines in /etc/hosts.allow on Arch64 (some of them may not be necessary) ;
pulseaudio-native: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-simple: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-cli: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-http: 127.0.0.1
esound: 127.0.0.1
5. Follow the "PulseAudio over Network" in Arch Wiki on Pulse audio http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pul … er_network and configure my Arch32 as a remote client on the network while setting the server address as 127.0.0.1;
6. Restart Pulseaudio daemon on Arch64 and Run "paplay" on Arch32 to test.

[SOLVED] Compile 32bit Wine in x64 without chroot?

I was wondering if it's possible. Due to winetricks not working with x64 wine, I wanted to do a compile of 32-bit Wine without chroot. I need to apply patches, otherwise I'd just use pacman. I've looked but pretty much all topics I've found that are related are before Multilib was added to Arch and all require chroot. Thanks for any help.
-- Edit --
Solved it by just getting multilib gcc, and downloading all the missing dependencies that caused warnings after ./configure with x32 wine

This is for precompiled from pacman. I have to do a fresh compile to be able to apply patches that will fixes games/software for myself, which usually requires a chroot to compile it in 32-bit, therefore pacman isn't an option.
it doesn't require a 32-bit chroot. that is only 1 of 2 options;

You can use a chroot if you want to, or have good reason to... but myself -> i run a multilib system and i compile wine on every update (i just compiled 1.5.4 yesterday). I only use 32bit apps in wine, as well via my 32bit prefix.
If you decide to go the 'multilib' route, you could use package management in arch to compile/install wine ... there are a couple of patched versions of wine in the AUR, that you could use as a template. just download the tarball, extract it and modify it to use your patches / suit your needs, add your patches to the directory, fix checksums, etc and voila
patched versions of wine in AUR;
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40169
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52143
there is one or two others, but they are very similar. either could work as a good template.
...then anytime you want to update wine, you just cd into the pkgbuild's directory and makepkg -si (you may have to edit the pkgver)... (you can also automate all of this too, i just don't have a link(s) to the archwiki on this, off hand.
anyway, it basically comes down to either having a 32bit chroot, or running a multlib system.
