Lightroom on Linux, partially working...

I have been tinkering with getting Lightroom 1.3.1 to run on Linux via Wine .9.53 and have had limited success.
In case anyone is interested in helping or just want to try it out... feel free to contact me or access the WineDB Application Database here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5839
It frustrates me that I have to do things with ZERO assistance from Adobe (I'd pay a premium for a Linux version of Lightroom... if it works on OS X, it's not much more to get it going on Linux.) Once I figure out what libraries they're using to display the photos we should be all set...
When Lightroom 1.3.1 using Wine I haven't been able to get the Develop and Library functionality working properly yet, however Importing and Exporting Photos to/from a Catalog is as fast (or faster) in Linux than it is in Windows...

I'm having a fair amount of success getting LR working.
I was very unimpressed with LightZone on the other hand. The interface is clunky and the stability is almost non-existent.
Last time I checked, it's only released as a 30-day unsupported beta... which is confusing to me... you can only use it for 30 days, but it's not supported -- so who really wants to buy it?
Apparently it's a pet-project of the (or one of THE) lightzone developers.
I am going to attempt Lightroom 2.0 on Linux this week and see if that fares any better than 1.3.1.
I downloaded 1.4 the night it was released (before they pulled it,) but it doesn't sound like much has improved with it.
I invite everybody to checkout the winehq database entry for lightroom and help us troubleshoot our way to stability :)
We have had someone successfully get everything working in Lightroom (except the opening of existing catalogs) with some 3rd party dlls and scripts.
Recently one of the guys helping this process determined how to correct the inability to open existing catalogs... he wrote a WINE patch to fix the problem and I believe that's been submitted to the upstream.
The problem is / was that Lightroom (based on the way it checks storage) thinks that all drives are network drives and refuses to open a catalog over the network.

  • Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

    Hello!
    I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....

    Now, when I go to work in Lightroom 5, I have no pictures.
    Could you provide more details? Is this the copy of your catalog, or the original catalog? Are you sure you didn't accidentally open some other catalog? If you try the catalogs under File->Open Recent, do you find your photos?
    I did check the back-ups, and all the pictures are there, however with a ? on every photo. What do I do to get my photos back into my original Lightroom 5 without the ? marks?
    Backups will work properly if you restore the catalog file and the photos to their ORIGINAL locations.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

  • Lightroom 3 Lightroom 64 bit stopped working

    I am using Lightroom 3 on Windows 7 platform.
    I got the lightroom 64-bit stopped working message.
    I went to the forums etc and got the following advice
    Delete preference file: I did
    delete catalog file: I did
    delete .lock files
    I uninstalled and reinstalled and got  Lightroom 64-bit stopped working message.
    Is there a fix to this?

    Very likely there is a way to fix this, but since we don't know the root cause yet, it's just experimentation time. Here is a list of the steps mentioned as well as many others: Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Windows | Adobe software

  • Lightroom 5.5 stopped working.

    Lightroom 5.5 stopped working.  when opening any photos the message says "unexpected error opening catalog"

    Go to the Lightroom catalog folder on your hard drive (the default location is usually inside the pictures folder)
    Look for your named catalog ending in .lrcat
    Double-click on the lrcat file.
    If that makes no difference you may need to start over with a new catalog if you don’t have an earlier back-up of the lrcat file. Check your backups folder as these are often made when Lightroom quits.
    To start a new catalog click:
    File >> New Catalog
    Choose a new name and save.
    When the empty catalog opens, import again from your folders.
    N.B. before starting a new catalog I would suggest you update to Lightroom 5.7. Download links are available from this blog:

  • LV2013 FPGA Linux Compile Worker errors (Xilinx 14.4)

    Hi,
    Until today, we had a nice working LV2012 Win7 and Xilinx 13.4 Linux Worker remote compilation system.
    Necessity mandated an upgrade to LV2013 FPGA for Win7. Which mandated a Linux distro upgrade to RH6.3x64 per the documentation.
    Now, our FPGA code won't compile successfully on the Linux Worker 14.4 x64, but will succeed on Win7 local worker.
    Enclosed are our xilinx.log file and a terminal capture .txt of the compilation errors from Linux Compile Worker run.
    Installation had no errors or warnings, and the Linux Compile Worker connects to the Win7 Server successfully.
    Please help, as without this optimization our code compile times are 2-3x longer.
    Our FPGA is NI-7962 FPGA (Vertex 5)
    Thanks,
    John

  • International Languages partially working

    Dear Apple Discussions,
    when I go into System Preferences -> International -> Languages and choose one other than English the changes are only partial.
    For example, when I change to Japanese some of the apps. in the Application folder have the Japanese name. However none of the toolbar or input menus are in Japanese.
    I have tried this in a new account as well with the same effect.
    Also zapped the PRAM and NVRAM just for kicks.
    I think remember having installed all the Languages since it didn't add that much to the disk usage. Besides, if it is partially working isn't that an indication of having it installed?
    Is there some way of checking to see whether I have the languages installed?
    Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

    Thanks for the quick response
    The Japanese was only an example. However, it is relevant since I was wanting too show it to a Japanese colleague of mine. Not even my Finder is translated into Japanese.
    However said colleague's new MacBook also running Leopard does show it in Japanese.
    When I go into the Package Contents of the Finder I only find the English.lproj folder. Does this mean I didn't install the international languages after all? If not, then why do some of the apps. like Dictionary change their name if I switch to Japanese?

  • My iPhone 4 only partially works after water damage...

    Basically, I dropped my iPhone 4 down the toilet (which was stupid of me in the first place) and got it out of the water as soon as possible. I let out as much excess water as humanly possible without the tools, as I didn't have any on me at that point, and so I let it dry out. It wasn't working at all the next day until I had taken the back off and now I have got it to the stage of turning on and partially working.
    When plugged into a power socket it will turn on as usual and get to the screen telling me to plug it into iTunes, but when I plug it into the computer it will turn off and on at the silver Apple logo which means I can't connect it to iTunes. In both cases, as soon as I unplug it, it turns off straight away, but when plugged in it says that it has 100% battery.
    I wasn't sure where the major problem was and so I sent it off to a company who fixed that sort of problem, but they told me that there was some corrosion on the inside and that they were unable to fix it which was a pain, and because Apple don't cover liquid damage I don't know what else to try... I bought a new battery just in case the battery had become flooded, but this made no difference so it's definitely not the battery directly.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a good solution that might help? (And if possible I would like to keep what is on there, but this is not essential...)
    Thanks,
    Ben

    IF you would have taken it to Apple, you could have gotten it replaced for US$199. Now that it's been opened by a 3rd party, they will most likely not permit this.  If there is corrosion on the inside, it's most likely permanently borked. Sell it for what you can get for parts and buy a new one.
