Heroes Of Might And Magic V under Wine

My wine has just been updated by pacman -Syu, I looked into winehq database and found this:
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4905
Looks like both demo and retail version are working correctly in wine (not cedega). What are your experiences with this game under wine?
I am mostly interested in opinions of people who use open source driver for their video cards (DRI).

Heroes of Might And Magic 5 in Wine

Can you play Heroes of Might And Magic 5 in Wine (not Cedega)?
Someone said he can (in the Wine thread).
I was trying with wine 0.9.25 and 0.9.24, but failed.
There is a long thread on winehq.com about this game, and it works for some people, while it doesn't for others.
I wonder what are your experiences - what did you do to run homam5 in Wine under Arch Linux?

Dude, how about looking at ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/ibiblio/distribu … a/os/i686/ ?!?
(Does that URL look familiar? It should.)

Arch 64bit and 32bit games under wine

Hi there,
I am using an x86_64bit version of arch linux and have tried to use Civilization IV and Warcraft III with wine. But i have no usable Framerates. I have tried a lot of issues from Google Searches and from this forum but i cannot handle this problem. My first idea was, that my drivers are not installed correctly. But programs like glxinfo and glxgears says that there is hardware rendering enabled and compiz also works fine. After some researches today i think to have a new idea for my problem.
First i need to say, that i have an Thinkpad T400 with onborad graphics Intel HD4500 or so on. On Ubuntu with wine there were no problems in using Civ IV and Warcraft III, but under Arch Linux i cannot get it to work correctly. The Ubuntu was also an 64bit version.
Is it possible that wine need 32bit libaries for the graphics driver because of the 32bit games? I have only installed the normal pacman packages for my system, which only compile the drivers for 64bit. If this can fix fix the problem. How can I install 32bit and 64 bit drivers on one system?
I am relativly new to Arch Linux, so pls tell me the right commands if you need mor informations. And thank you for your issues.

This is almost definitely the problem. First, add the new [multilib] repo (see the news page for how to do this). Then run pacman -Syu lib32-intel-dri (assuming you are using the 64-bit intel-dri. otherwise you may have to build something from the AUR).

Mouse and keyboard freeze under Win 7 Pro Bootcamp on 10.9.1

People,
This is an interesting (if frustrating) issue. I have previously had Windows 7 Pro running wonderfully under ML 10.8.x and I removed the partition when I had no further use for it. Last night I decided to re-install. I am using the wired Apple keyboard and a wired USB Microsoft mouse. I used Bootcamp Assistant as before to create a USB installation while downloading the latest Bootcamp software from Apple.
Windows 7 Pro installs fine, and then reboots. The first time I get to the low resolution Windows desktop everything is also OK. I then install the Bootcamp drivers, allow the installation to complete and reboot.
At this point Windows boots to desktop in appropriate iMac resolution...except the keyboard and mouse do not function. It may well be a USB port issue, as swapping another keyboard and mouse a) doesn't help or b) make the distinctive 'USB device connected' sound.
I may download an older version of the bootcamp drivers and try again.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Regards,
Steve
PS: I'm using the followig hardware
27" iMac - 3.4Ghz i7 - Late 2012
32GB RAM
1TB Fusion
2GB GTX 680MX

I was able to dowload the support software and paste it over the old support software in the USB Winstall that Bootcamp created before, however the same issue is persisting after I get to the screen to set up windows. I get no response from the mouse and the keyboard. Any suggestions?
I'm using a iMac 27in (2013), a wired apple keyboard, and a Logitech wireless mouse.

HELP: I just want to play my old Heroes of Might & Magic III on my new Mac

Mac says that the application to install Heroes of Might & Magic III "is not supported on this system."
Is there some kind of patch I can download so my operating system will recognize and allow this file? I really want to play this classic game.
Thanks!

With Intel Mac you are unable to run "Classic" programs.

I think someone might be hacking my computer. I downloaded a free game last night and since then under the shared tab in my finder it says "hp002655a82ea0" and the only info I can get about it is that it is a pc.

I downloaded a free game last night and since then under the shared tab in my finder it says "hp002655a82ea0" and the only info I can get about it is that it is a pc. Then under console I see several "stealth mode connection" attempts ti TCP 192.168.1.107:##### from 74.125.225.82.443. The second number has jumped around and sometimes starts with 192. I dont really know what those numbers are but how do I stop them from attempting to get through my firewall and kick them out of my shared tab??? I encrypted all my files and made sure all sharing is turned off so I don't know what they are doing. Thank you very much.

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install software, such as a “codec” or “plug-in,” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they're all counter-productive. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav -- nothing else.

64-bit Nightly v29 and Firefox v26 under Win7 64-bit are so slow for streaming, achieving only 4% of BW otherwise achieved by the sam firefox under Win7 32-bit.

Under my Window 7 64-bit OS, I've installed both Nightly Build v28 and v29 to perform "internet speed test" and each time, I can only achieve something < 2 mbps for my home Wi-Fi, gateway router which is about >56 Mbps. The only working Nightly version was v23 that could achieve close to >52 mbps. But once I update v23 to higher version, all the normal high speeds I could achieve at Nightly v23 are gone. The same issue plagued also firefox v26 under Win 7 64-bit.
For clarification, this is not true under Win 7 32-bit OS - the same firefox v26 works fine to achieve the raw BW speed close to and >56 mbps. WHy not in 64-bit OS seems to be the main question?
What's going on? I greatly appreciate you looking into and helping me out on this dilemma. Thanks!
Sincerely
Shao Ma

hello Shao Ma, when you are using speedtest.net or a similar flash-based site to measure your connection speed then it might be an issue with the protected mode that [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html adobe has introduced] for its flash plugin for firefox. some old versions of f-secure or trusteer rapport are known to cause such slowdowns together with flash, or it might be something similar on your system that is interfering (maybe security software that is blocking/sandboxing the container used for the protected mode, etc...).
as a workaround you could try [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] & see if this makes a difference.
in case you'd like to troubleshoot the issue further, it would be best to contact adobe's support & file a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com (choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product & "Browser Integration" as the product area), since they will have a better understanding of the internals of flash protected mode & therefore may know what else might be at the root of the problem you were seeing.

[SOLVED] Steam fails to run under Wine

Hello,
Recent Ubuntu -> Arch user here, so go easy on me!
I run Steam under Wine. Once it logs in, the main and update news windows appear, and so do '$FRIEND is currently playing $GAME' boxes. That's all fine, until Steam completely dies/disappears a second or two later. It looks like it just can't find a load of necessary libraries; I know the files don't exist, but should they? If not, why is Wine looking for them?
As far as I know, all Wine dependencies (incl. optional) are installed. The Gecko extension too. I searched far and wide and installed whatever lib32 (including lib32-catalyst-utils) packages I could find in relation to Wine problems. The 64-bit Catalyst drivers are installed and working.
I did follow the wiki and I did search on Google, these forums and the bug tracker, but nothing has worked.

Any ideas?

You might have to symlink some data/config directories (the one with program's data about downloaded files).

Wifi asks for user name under win 7 ?

I have a unibody MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, everything is working properly under OS X 10.6. I also have win 7 installed, and everything seems fine there also, except when i try to connect to a wireless network, windows asks me for a user name and a password. I do have the password, but i've never had to insert a user name before. I have no idea what the user name is.
The funny thing is that, a few weeks ago my wifi was working properly under win 7, but since I moved to a new location, i haven't been able to connect to that network anymore. In Snow Leopard same wifi works fine.

You can't differentiate between subdirectories in Firefox, so even if you would edit the URL then it wouldn't work and you might corrupt the file by doing that.

Picasa2 under wine/linux

how cool is this.....
installation steps
1) pacman -S wine
2) wine picasa-setup.exe
wow.. that's it?!?!
video doesn't seem to play yet, but i've only had it installed for about 3 minutes, so i can't quite say anything bad yet. in general, it looks/feels quite the same.

i believe gthumb doesn't do movies. i had my eye on f-spot for a while, but thought that was also an image only viewer.
i'ld love to hear other options. feel free to list any you know that can view images and movies together and i'll look through them. i thought i had already looked, but i did miss digikam. must have had my gnome blinders on.
digikam looked neat, on first glance i didn't see an option for movies, i need to go deeper apparently. thanks scarecrow, that may end up being a better solution if it can do video too.
why picasa...
picasa2 has always been what my wife uses to view photo albums and such. it's rather addictive actually, it shows images, movies and everything as one big album. but it also has some other neat tools letting upload to your local malmart for printing and such for 1 hour printing, timelines, slideshows, screensavers, photo-dvds... blah, blah, about everything you could think to do with an album (which i'm guessing most don't work under wine).
there might be other tools worth looking at under linux, but i'm migrating my wife's machine (slowly) to linux. getting her email to gmail, her browser to firefox. and the last hold out is the ability to view our album nicely. she likes picasa, and if change can be avoided that's a plus for now.
my excitement was mostly due to the fact that i hadn't played with wine for a while. the last time i did, and tried to get diablo ii lod running, it was quite a bit more leg work. i was amazed at how easy it is now to get something running under wine. might be due to a nicely packaged wine. if that's the case, i owe someone a sixpack.

EAC under Wine

After countless hours of frustration I decided to make this post.
I have pestered people in many IRC channels, dug through forums, and exhausted the bug comments at winehq.
These are the steps I have taken to try and make it work. They are a combination of things I saw in the bugzilla stuff on winehq but nothing seems to help.
>I install wine with pacman
>run WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
>mount a cdrom to /media/cd
>in the 'drives' tab of winecfg I path to /media/cd
I then click the 'Show Advanced' button and select CD as the type
>I make ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: a symlink to /dev/sr0 (my optical drive)
> I make sure my user owns /media/cd and /dev/sr0
>open the EAC install exe with wine
>run regsvr32 sql* in the EAC dir
>run EAC.exe with wine
>Set the interface to the native win32
>close and reopen EAC
at this point I get EAC to open but it is frozen. There is no cursor, I can't click, and hot keys don't work. It would seem that there might be another dll that is not getting registered. Here is a pastebin of what it looks like when I run EAC.
http://pastebin.com/5MgxSE09
I am convinced this has something to do with either an unregistered dll or a problem in how my drives are set up in winecfg and the ~/.wine/dosdevices dir
Is there anyone out there who is successfully running EAC under wine who could let me know how it's done?

hmmm, the latest eac runs fine for me under wine on my arch64 system (multilib libraries installed of course) under kde; I'm ripping a cd right now as a matter of fact. I never mounted my audio cd's when I ripped them though.
I think I set my cd drives for autodetect in wine's config gui, ran the eac install and followed the blowfish guide for setting up my drives and compression options. Sorry that I cannot be more of a help

ITunes under Wine?

I see on the web that some people have succeeded to run some version of iTunes (all version are still available on: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php ) under wine. When I try, it never works (it "installs" but when I try to run it it say that some component are missing or that I have to install quicktime, which I have done). My question is if there are some people here that have had better success than me. If yes, what are the software that you install before iTunes (I suspect it might works with some tricky configuration or dll installation).
Actually I only need iTunes to browse the itunes store (this is the only thing we can't do with native linux software, playing the file works great with mplayer).

The only thing I am interested is to be able to purchase song from the iTunes store. It appears that they have a huge collection of song, almost everything that exists on CD in the world. I do not know spotify, is it also the case? I know http://www.starzik.com where you can purchase song without any particular software.

I have a version of Windows XP that was preinstalled on my laptop and do not run under a virtual machine (it looks in the bios). I do not want to buy a version of Windows. I just purchase a few songs from the iTunes store from time to time and once I have them, I play them in linux.
