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.

No sound on Audigy 2 ZS under Win XP, under Linux

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS installed on my AMD 64 3500+, Board Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (BIOS 0). I first installed Win XP, Sound drivers and everything worked fine, then installed SUSE Linux 9.3 (x64-Version), and everything was fine too. After a while, under Win XP the sound card stopped working. I don't remember what I changed in my config, but I couldn't get it working again under XP. Under Linux everything is still ok.
I even reinstalled XP, and still there's no sound. Strange thing is, that the drivers install perfectly and everything on the system seems to be ok, but there's no sound neither on digital-out nor analog.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tried both, disabling, enabling.
Currently there's a digital sound system with external decoder connected to it (Creative Soundworks DTT3500 Digital), as well a 5. analog Headphone, so all jacks execept line in are connected. Headphones and sound system is ok, I tested that on other PCs.

I need to install the windows version of firefox and run it under wine to see how a page looks but I can only seem to download the linux version

I keep trying to download the windows version of firefox so I can run it under wine on linux but all I can find is the linux version because the web site automatically detects the os. Any ideas on how I could do this?

[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.

Possible code bug causing crash on Wine/Linux

As I am running Linux, I don't expect support as such but thought I would offer a possible contribution to the beta program as follows:
When starting Safari under Wine (an implementation of the Win32 API) on Linux, I get the following debug message:
DIB_GetBitmapInfo (44): unknown/wrong size for header
What I understand this to mean is that the Windows function GetBitmapInfo is being passed a dodgy parameter.
This is followed by a crash for me, but I guess on Windows, is quietly ignored.
I have seen a report on CodeProject regarding an identical crash caused by a coder setting the biSize member of the bmiHeader (BITMAPHEADERINFO) element of a BITMAPINFO structure to the incorrect size. In the example given, it had been set to sizeof(BITMAPINFO) rather than sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER)
e.g.
bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof (BITMAPINFO);
instead of
bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof (BITMAPINFOHEADER);
For any devs. interested as to whether there may be a bug, the call stack generated by Wine, showing the offsets from the base address of coregraphics.dll (loaded at 0x6b000000) is as follows, with the crash actaully occurring at '=> 1'
Backtrace:
=>1 0x6b262e97 in coregraphics (+0x262e97) (0x0033ed38)
2 0x6b0f9da4 in coregraphics (+0xf9da4) (0x0033f31c)
3 0x6b1e0fff in coregraphics (+0x1e0fff) (0x0033f4bc)
4 0x6b1d19ee in coregraphics (+0x1d19ee) (0x0033f578)
As I say, I'm not expecting any feedback on this - I'm just being neighbourly I also fully accept that I may be completely wrong in my assessment of the issue.
Dell Inspiron Other OS

There was an even earlier build than the two mentioned.
Talk about "early revisions" I guess so, and it doesn't look like there will be a unified version tomorrow.
I recall AYM had a note about video performance and in that instance, the build on the DVD was never than what was on the hard drive and within a week or so disk drives carried the "new, improved" video on disk as well.
There may be other changes that go hand-in-hand other than build, too. Did they look at the Boot ROM and SMC Version of the systems?

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).

UTorrent works under Wine

Hey all, just wanted to let people know that uTorrent is working under Wine.
This may already be common knowledge, but I tried it earlier and I couldn't get any transfers going. Make sure you have port-forwarding set correctly if necessary. I just successfully finished downloading a torrent, so now I can officially abandon Azureus which has gotten too bloated imho. Anyone looking for a good bittorrent client in Linux can give uTorrent a shot.
By the way, one of the nice things you can do is automatically stop seeding once you're upload ratio is 1, something I quite like.
I'm adding this little script for anyone that's interested. It lets you pass
torrents to uTorrent from Firefox.
#!/bin/bash
read torrent << HERE
$(echo "$1" | sed 's///\\/g')
HERE
wine /Path/to/uTorrent.exe "$torrent"
If you're wondering about the part before the call to wine, it's necessary because uTorrent (being a windows program) expects back slashes in the path to the .torrent file instead of forward slashes. That bit of code replaces "/" with "" in the path to the torrent passed to the script by Firefox.
To use the script:
1. copy the code to a text editor and modify it with the path to your copy of uTorrent.
2. save it as "utorrent.sh," and make it executable: chmod +x utorrent.sh.
3. In Firefox, the next time you click a torrent link, select "Open with" in the "What should Firefox do with this file?" box that pops up. Click on the drop down list and choose "Other" and find utorrent.sh. If you want you can also select "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
4. After you hit OK uTorrent will open (if it's not already) and will be ready to download the torrent.

Tech-Man wrote:Azureus is still better even though it's bloatware, as the UPnP works fine, whereas the UPnP in uTorrent doesnt work under wine.
I use fixed ports.
Tech-Man wrote:
and before anyone says use fixed ports, thats just one way to get traffic shaped by your ISP hence I use UPnP.

uTorrent supports protocol encryption, so they can't see that the packets are torrent stuff.

Firefox: Faster under WINE than Native?

I just got sent this link: http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid … 13/0058251
Apparently, the windows version of Firefox runs better under wine than the native linux version, possibly because the linux version isn't optimized. Can anyone take a look at this and see if they can confirm it?

kensai wrote:Yeah, there is no difference between the same machine running windows and firefox than linux and firefox. The difference is only when it is run on wine, so this is even better for the wine developers.
That is definitely not true in my tests. I've done it multiple times, because I though that openjdk6 and jde/jre could make a difference, and I always got results that were consistent with the findings of the Slashdot article. I tested on a fairly slow computer (Intel Atom based netbook) and the performance differences were very clear. I'm not sure why others are getting different results -- perhaps pgo-optimized builds of Firefox are slower than the generic Arch build? I'm very skeptical of those findings that claim that performance is the same in Linux and Windows, because Linux/Windows performance actually differs for every individual test in sunspider test suite -- in some cases Linux is actually faster, but in most cases Windows versions of Firefox performs better.

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).

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.

Cant get JMF Running under Suse Linux 9.2

Hello,
I'am just going to start with a project to implement a SIP based Voice and (perhaps) videoconferencing application. I want to use Java with JMF and develop it using Linux.
Now my problem is, that the JMF Linux performance Pack will not work for me. (Yes I 've used the search function, but without success).
I installed JMF after downloading it and set the variables like this:
export JMF_HOME=/home/brinkop/Programme/JMF-2.2.1e
export CLASSPATH=$JMF_HOME/lib/jmf.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/libI even tried JMFHOME instead of JMF_HOME
I put these entries in my /home/.profil
Know Iam able to start the JMStudio. Capturing Sound works. But now I wrote my first Code and tried to detect my soundcard as a capture device -> doesnt work :-( No devices found.
I made a jar file of it and launched it:
~/SoftwareEntwicklung/Arbeitsverzeichnis> java -jar JMFTest.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/CaptureDeviceManager
        at Geraetefinder.sucheGeraete(Geraetefinder.java:40)
        at Geraetefinder.<init>(Geraetefinder.java:31)
        at Geraetefinder.main(Geraetefinder.java:35)But the same file works fine on my windows machine. So the problem must be in the PATHES.
But they seem to be right! The diagnostic applet even tells me, that it cannot find the JMF classes.
I tried so much, but I've no idea what i can do. Does anybody know?
I can develop the clients using win, but that does not solve my problem, though my boss wants me to run all the serverside software under linux (and i like to use linux too).

Come on, I can't believe that no one here is able to help me.
What i have now is:
in my .profile:
export JMFHOME=/home/brinkop/Programme/JMF-2.2.1e
export CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar:$JMFHOME/lib/sound.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/libif I try to run my Testprogramm (that works fine under win) I get this:

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8
I have recently upgraded to Win 8. When installing iTunes the following error shows:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32",version"8.0.50727.4053.publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b 9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information HRESULT:0x80073715.
I am running the ITunes x64 install. I have installed the V++ redistributable with no change in result.
I have subsequently downloaded and manually installed via the Apple Software update program iTunes. However this does not allow my iPad to be connected as it is not the x64 version.

After spending an entire day on this issue, I figured out something that worked. After installing Windows 8 (64-bit) then Visual Studio 2012 (or 2013) then the latest 64-bit iTunes app, I got the 0x80073715 error.
What finally worked for me was:
1) Get all the Windows updates and hotfixes - especially the ones for Visual Studio.
2) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14431 and download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update"
3) Only install vcredist_x64.exe.
After running these steps, I was able to completely install iTunes on my Windows 8 64-bit instance.
Hope this helps.

The story
So...rather than wasting internet bandwith to download a new Ubuntu ISO to test out the new Unity features, I decided to try to make it work under Arch Linux. It took a whole lot longer than I expected to get it even partially working. So, here's my story:
Knowing that Unity isn't in the main repositories, I went the AUR's website and looked for a user created Unity package. That didn't go too well. The Unity package hasn't been updated for 6 months. D'oh! I decided to download the existing PKGBUILD and modify it to work with the Unity 4.xx series. After changing the version number, I tried to "makepkg" it, and was greeted with a message about installing Compiz 0.9.x. I thought it would be an easy install. It was quite the opposite. Compiz's install prefix was set to /opt/unity, but FindCompiz cmake build file expected Compiz to be in /usr, so none of the Compiz packages, except for compiz-core would compile. Then, I tried reinstalling compiz-core, but this time, changing the prefix to /usr. The compiled package ended up being only a few kilobytes big. I guess the mouse wheel was invented for a reason. I looked at the PKGBUILD again, only to find that there was a line at the very bottom that ran "rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr". That explains a lot! I ended up adopting all the compiz*-git packages and fixing them so they would compile and install.
So, now that Compiz is working (restarted and tested just to make sure I didn't waste my time with something that didn't work), I went on to install the rest of the dependencies listed in the Unity PKGBUILD file. That went relatively well. I was so happy after seeing the progress counter go up after running "makepkg", but at about 8%, gcc spat out an error about an undeclared function (sorry, I forgot what the function was). Natually, I went to Google and searched the name of the function. 0 results! Exactly was I was looking for! I ended up downloading the Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 ISO and running "find -type f /usr/lib | xargs objdump -T | grep the_function". The problem lied in the libindicator package. There was a newer version available which contained that function. I have no idea why a package that's only 0.02 versions ahead of the AUR package would contain new functions...
Next! Utouch...ugh...great memories! Not! I was so glad that I had fixed the utouch packages earlier (for touchegg to work). I was too frustrated from compiz and libindicator to try to compile more stuff.
Cmake. Whoever created the CMakeLists.txt file didn't list all the dependencies required. So after running "makepkg" 10 billion times, waiting for "somebodydidntputthisincmake.h not found" errors to appear, I finally got all the dependencies I needed installed...or so I thought. After installing and compiling all these dependencies, the cmake only continues 3% further before encountering another cryptic gcc error. This time, there no error about a file not being found. So not knowing what dependency was missing, I headed over to http://packages.ubuntu.com and downloaded the Unity DEB source to find the dependencies in then debian/control file. After install those few dependencies that I missed, I ran "makepkg" again, hoping that it would finally compile successfully. CMake went a little further--5% further to be exact--before running into another error. It complained about DndSourceDragBegin() having two return types. Sure, enough "./plugins/unityshell/src/ResultViewGrid.h" had the return type as boolean and "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h" had the return type as void. WTF? How the heck does this even compile under 11.10???
After changing void to bool in "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h", I ran "makepkg" once again anxiously waiting to the see the line "Finished making: unity 4.10.2". CMake compiled about 35% before running into error about an undeclared gtk function. Nooooooooooooo!!! I wasn't brave enough to install the git version of gtk3, so I created a chroot, installed the base packages, and installed all of those dependencies fairly quickly (it gets a lot easier after doing it so many times).
Moving on to gtk3. After cloning the ~200MB git repository, autotools spits out an error about cairo-gl missing. So, I proceeded to install the cairo-gl-git package, which failed to compile (it compiled successfully outside of the chroot...). GREAT. So, Unity fails to compile because GTK version is too old, and GTK failed to compile because cairo-gl is missing, and cairo-gl fails to compile because I'm in a chroot. GAHHH!!! While thinking about throwing the computer out of the window, I searched the AUR for other GTK3 packages. I just happened to find a package named "GTK3-UBUNTU"! That package was still at version 3.0, but it was pretty easy to get the patches and source code for 3.1 from the Ubuntu GTK source package.
So, FINALLY, Unity compiles. I was so darn happy, I didn't even care if it ran or not. I logged out and logged back into the GNOME 3 fallback mode, and entered the chroot. After running "xhost +SI:localuser:chenxiaolong" to run X11 apps in the chroot, I crossed my fingers and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It failed with python 3 complaining about missing modules. That's okay, since the Unity launch script is written in python 2. I changed the shebang line in "/usr/bin/unity" to point to python 2 and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It didn't necessarily fail, but it didn't succeed either. It didn't print out any error messages. Weird... I thought I'd try enabling Unity from the compiz settings manager then. I ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --replace" and "DISPLAY=:0.0 ccsm" and enabled the Unity plugin. Unity runs! Although nothing shows on the screen, it runs! It shows up in the process list! Woohoo!
And that's about how far I got. There were quite a few Vala errors during the compiling process (I forgot which package it was), which is probably why Unity won't appear. I'll try again later with the vala-devel or vala-git package and hopefully Unity will work then. Here are screenshots of what I've gotten working so far:
http://i.imgur.com/7F1fm.jpg

By then way, I love the simplicity of pacman and the AUR. I can't imagine how long this would have taken with other package managers.

City-busz: I'm getting a ton of Vala errors when I compile libunity (AUR version) with vala or vala-devel. libunity fails to compile with vala-git. I'll try your packages in a virtual machine and see how they work on 64 bit.
In the meantime, Unity still fails to show up: http://i.imgur.com/btPwo.png I'll try out your PKGBUILDS and see how that works. I'm glad there are people who want to port Unity to Arch Linux
EDIT: City-busz: Just to let you know, Unity will fail to compile at around 45% with GTK 3.0. Here's my source packaage for Ubuntu's GTK 3.1: http://ubuntuone.com/p/1EzX/ It contains all of the patches in the Ubuntu source package. I'm not sure if all the patches are needed, but GTK compiles fine with all of them.
EDIT2: Right now, I'm trying to compile Vala 0.10.4, then version used in Ubuntu 11.10. Hopefully that will eliminate some of the Vala errors.
EDIT3: Vala 0.10 is too old. 0.12 and 0.14 are also in the Ubuntu repository. Trying those...
EDIT4: 0.14 is actually 0.13.1. Gah... Vala takes longer to compile under VirtualBox than GTK3...
EDIT5: Okay...so VirtualBox "helpfully" became slow enough that I could read the error messages. The Vala error messages aren't actually error messages, but rather warnings about unused methods. I wonder what prevents Unity from running then...

Lenovo Fingerprint Software stopped working under Win 8.1

Just upgraded to Win 8.1 (64-bit) and to the latest drivers for W700 (2753-WBB).
Major trouble with the Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software.
The Lenovo Fingerprint Software version 3.3.2.50 for Win 7 (64-bit) was fine under Win 8.0
but it doesn't work any more under Win 8.1

The Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software isn't compatible with W700 and W700ds.
Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software Version 5.9.9.7282 for Windows 8 (64-bit) or 7 (64-bit)
supports only the ThinkPad W510, W520, W701, W530 systems

The management of complex passwords becomes difficult without Fingerprint.
Any ideas?? Thank you.

PSE 7.0 Invalid Serial Number under Win 8.1

Moved from a Dell PC running Win XP SP3 to an HP with an 3.80 GHz AMD 6200 6 core processor, 10 Gb RAM running Win 8.1. Had installed PSE 7.0 four or five years ago on the Dell - it meets my limited needs and I don't really want to upgrade. I re-installed PSE 7.0 (from the Adobe download site) and registered the product on Adobe.com. However, the program refuses to accept the serial number, claiming it is "not valid." Tried Adobe chat and Manoj Kumar confirmed the serial number was valid. However, he then stated that PSE 7.0 is not supported on Win 8.1 and he is consequently unable to assist further. Since the program works fine other than for not accepting a valid serial number, I don't see that Win 8.1 is an issue. Any thoughts? Is it helpful to copy any applicable files from the old computer?

Having searched for similar issues with other PSE users, it is apparent Adobe does not intend to respond - none of the numerous questions on serial numbers have received a response. I found the answer to my question, but the solution will not help anyone who can't locate their original installation disks.
There is an apparent difference in the serial numbers that are issued on-line during product downloads and those that are printed on the box / disk sleeve. I managed to dig up the six year old install disk and initiated setup.The first pop up box requests a serial number and I entered my original number. The installation proceed without incident, other than requesting a file update which I obtained from Adobe downloads. The serial number which was rejected when downloading a copy of PSE 7.0 from Adobe works just fine in the identical disk based install.
And, a note in passing to "Manjo Kumar:" PSE 7.0 runs just fine under Win 8.1. Please stop using the excuse that Win 8.1 is not supported and give users the real answer: "If you download a copy, you need a downloaded serial number. If you originally installed from disk, you need to re-install from disk. A disk based serial number won't work on a download copy."
Short sighted attempt by Adobe to force users to purchase another copy of previously installed software.
