[SOLVED] hidpi in wine

Hey all,
I have a high (216) dpi screen, and certain windows applications (like LTSpice) that I run through wine. However, they appear VERY small on screen as do all wine windows. Is there any way of configuring wine to increase dpi (or window scale, for that matter)?
Edit:
Now I feel silly. In the graphics tab in winecfg, you can set the dpi. So there you have it. The icons are still small, but text is large enough to get by.

[Solved] WoW and Wine: Run time errors and massive lag.

Ok, so I have a AMD A4 Kabini series APU, and I installed the ati open source drivers and added the correct settings into the

, however when ever I run WoW it becomes extremely laggy and to a point where it is unusable. Heres the output from the point that I start getting errors:

Most of us don't need any /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf , please post it's contents.
The error messages indicate WoW can't find /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/radeonsi_dri.so , the 32-bit multlib version of ati-dri .
$ pkgfile /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/radeonsi_dri.so

Do you have lib32-ati-dri installed ?

[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;
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Arch64.3F
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.

[solved]help about wine-----------hold keys

when i want to hold one of the 'A' to 'Z' keys in wine.
it seems that i keep on hitting the key.
just like this:hold 'A'=AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...........
how can i solve this problem?
thanks very much~~~~~~~
i am sorry,my english is poor,but i am always trying hard to improve it....:P
ah ha!I know what happened!
it is none of the wine's business!!!
i use gnome.so in the "sysytem" option,it can find out a "keyboard"option,then you may know what happen
but its function is too simple, i dont know if i can list something that i want to hold and something not~~~

It's been months since I read about it (I think this site: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/124406 )
Now I see there's also: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10398
And more recent info that Dolby linked to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9448
But it doesn't look very good...
And there is something I forgot to mention in the post above...
When you get a key stuck and you disabled the repeat of this key, then it won't repeat but it will still be stuck and cause other keys to not work. This happens a lot with my multimedia keys so e.g. I press the Next Song button and no other keyboard button works anymore but it also won't go over the entire playlist anymore. To solve this you have to press the same button you pressed again (it won't cause another event) which can be hard to find.

[Solved] Issue installing wine from the official repositories.

I'm trying to install wine, but upon running
$ sudo pacman -S wine
it returns
error: target not found wine
and If I try PlayOnLinux with
$ sudo pacman -S playonlinux
it returns
warning, cannot resolve "wine", a dependency of playonlinux
Wine should still be in the official repositories, and my research has turned up nothing for this issue. Actually I'm not even sure if this is happening to anyone other than me?
Thanks,

[SOLVED]arch32 and wine: winecfg

I've set up a arch32 chroot on arch64, just like described in the wiki.

Last edited by thoughtcrime (2009-07-12 13:30:56)

I can't figure out what you mean. When running winecfg, the program creates a .wine directory including drive_c etc. So there's a "C:\" - but this doesn't have much to do with my problem.

Thanks.
You're going to need a bunch of 32 bit libraries to run 32 bit Wine. Either a chroot or lib32 libraries will work.
I don't know much about cross compilers, so I can't help with your other question. What distro were you running when you did this before?

Out of curiosity, why are you using ImgBurn under wine and not some Linux-native program?
Great! It worked, many thanks.
I always have used Linux-native programs for burning CD/DVDs (Brasero and k3b, I think they are great tools) but last day I downloaded and iso for my videogame console and I burnt it using Brasero but the iso was not working so I thought that maybe there was a problem with Brasero and since a lot of people was recommending to use ImgBurn, I decided to use it. Finally, I discovered that the problem was not in Brasero, iso burnt with ImgBurn (from Win because wine was not detecting my optical drive) was not working so I discovered the iso was being the problem.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is ng?

[SOLVED] Openbox + fullscreen wine = focus problems

Hi everyone,
I've got this problem with Openbox: when i play a game via WINE (such as World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2) in fullscreen, the screen become darker and unresponsive after a few mouse clicks. Then if I alt+tab twice, the wine screen become active again... until i decide to click again.
If I play in non-fullscreen windowed mode, it somehow works (WoW and Hearthstone work but GW2 windows blinks dark for like 1 seconde everytime i click).
If I use only the keyboard, everything's fine.
If I set winecfg to create a virtual desktop, everything's fine too.
If I use any other window managers (i tried with xfce, fluxbox, dwm...) i have no problem so i guess is something with the way Openbox and WINE interract.
Any idea what this could be ?

If anybody can solve this, they win.

I have a 15gb third generation (3g) ipod. Bought in April 2003, fully functional until about april 2006, at which point it stopped turning on all together.
My thought? I made a homemade battery-pack out of an altoids tin, some batteries, and some soldering. It worked really well, providing the right amount of electricity and supplying juice for a good 8 hours---but I thought it may have fried the battery.
So one day, my ipod stopped working. It wouldn't turn on, nothing. I gave up trying to revive it, and stuffed it away for a few months.
But then, last week, I plugged it into my computer and it magically worked--not correctly, but it worked. I managed to download the updater and update the firmware--but then the ipod would only display the apple icon followed by the "connect to charge" icon before turning off.
At the time, I had no idea what was wrong. So I plugged it into the computer, I reset it a thousand times, I went into diagnostic mode, I even opened it up and unplugged and replugged the battery. No dice.
Later I found out here that a firmware update on a 3g must be completed by plugging the ipod into the AC charger. So I got mine back from my friend and did that, still no dice. Even left it charging for a good day and still nothing. Even bought a replacement battery (mine is getting old and unreliable anyway) and still no dice.
Here's what I think happened: somewhere between unplugging the battery and resetting a million times, I disrupted the ipod's ability to finish the firmware update. So I'm unable to access anything--including diskmode--because the ipod simply won't run any firmware at all.
So I'm stuck. Diagnostic mode tells me that everything is a go, but nothing is going anywhere. I'm unable even to get the ipod recognized by a computer in order to format it through windows---at best I can get a bubble to pop up on the computer saying "Device failure"
If you could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time

Hi
First, try this
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
If does not work
Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

[SOLVED] Existing GRUB Win menu entries don't appear

Hi,
Just finished a fresh dual boot (Arch-64/Win7-64), dual HDs installation.
I've installed os-prober prior to installing grub, and indeed a (seemingly) correct menu entry was added (in segment 30-see below).
Yet after reboot, this entry does NOT appear!
I've tried adding a respective entry in the 40-custom, (and ran ' grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' afterwards), yet still the same (menu entry appears in grub.cfg yet does NOT appear after reboot!).
Please advise!
Thanks!
my grub.cfg (note existing grub 30 & 40 segments

[Solved] GRUB2 and Win 8 on raid 0

Hello all,
Currently I have my system set up in the following config, (hd0) and (hd1) set up in raid 0 for my windows 8
install. Separately (hd2) is my arch linux install where I spend most of my time.
I have been choosing what system to boot into from the BIOS but this is cluncky and now I want to load windows 8 from GRUB,
when I run grub-mkconfig GRUB detects windows and creates a menu entry for it, but when I boot up the entry I only get
this.
invalid signature
Well I checked the wiki and there was a fix for the issue but the file that is supposed to be removed is not on my system. So
now I'm at a loss as to what the issue is. Below is my grub.cfg file and my /etc/default/grub, one thing I do notice about
this is that insmod mdraid is not part of the menu entry for windows when the wiki says it should be for raid. Is
there something that I am missing?

Thank you for the reply, it helped alot.
Here is what I did,
I used
# blkid
to figure out the UUID of the drive, OS-Prober was finding the correct UUID but the format was all messed up. The format of the menu entry that you linked to worked just fine, this is what I have added to
/etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Windows 8 Loader" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(/dev/mapper/pdc_fibaedjhfp1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2262C76C62C74371
chainloader +1
Everything is booting just fine, thanks for the help.
