[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.
$ uname -a
Linux pr0scarch 2.6.36-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 10 20:32:37 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
$ wine --version
wine-1.3.10
$ cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam"
$ WINEDEBUG=warn+all wine ./Steam
Due to a measly scrollback of "only" 5000, I didn't get all of the log, but I think this is 99% of it and that it might contain relevant info: http://www.resiiign.com/~coconut/steam.log
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Thanks cebru, that was the problem.
Now I just need to tweak things so that games work well. CS 1.6 is flawless so far.
Thank you again!

Thunderbird running under Win 8.1 with Defender does not download attachments and offline content.

Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with Windows Defender is not downloading attachments from my roadrunner email account. It does so when running under Ubuntu 12.04 though. On Windows no attachments are shown. Also on Windows there is content that is not shown, I know so as there is an empty box. Then there is no option to download offline content. How may I use Thunderbird to read my email if it won't display properly? I trust the source of these emails as they are from the legal department of my former employer. I asking for the content to be resent does not work either. Please help me.
Thank you;
Below is information on my Win 8.1 configuration.

[SOLVED] Steam failing to install

Hey guys, my first post here though I've been using Arch and lurking here for over a year now. I haven't ever found the need to post since usually I'm able to resolve all issues with the magic of the Search function, however this problem has stumped me. I've been trying to install Steam for the first time, and always run into this error after the initial install when trying to launch Steam:

This is followed by a popup window from Steam:
This happens no matter what I use to install Steam. ie. I've tried using wine, winetricks, playonlinux, and all of these run into the same problem. I have tried reinstalling wine (after removing winetricks and playonlinux) and deleting the .wine directory multiple times. I have installed the required fonts (as far as I know), have all of the optional wine dependencies and wine_gecko installed. I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious, but I just can't see it. I initially followed the instructions on the wiki to install Steam, and after those failed I've been Googling and trying out everything I find but to no avail.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Will PSE 5 run under Win 7 64-bit?

Running Windows 7 64-bit on notebook would like to run Photoshop Elements there I have it running on desktop computer under Windows XP. Will PSE 5 run on the notebook?

I just noticed that my reply to you was in reply to your answer to a question I posted Dec 3, 2013.
I thought your repley was to a similar question I posted this week. Since my notebook had a short life the same question has come-up again.
Today I decided to upgrade PSE 5 installed on a Dell, Latitude E6400 notebook running Windows 7 32-bit. I am waiting for approval to download PSE 13. I wonder if this upgarde will work. When I start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears but when I click Organize the Organizer doesn't load. I can enter the Editer. I printed SysInfo and noticed it thinks the OS is Vista not Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit which is what I'm running.
What do think?
I also have a desktop computer on which I would like to run PSE. It has a 64-bit CPU, and Win 7 Home Premium installed. When I Start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears, but that is as far as I can go. Neither the Organizer nor Editer will load. I thought I might run PSE 5 inside a Win XP virtual environment.
What do you think I sould?

Opengl games to be run under wine?

Hi all, does anybody has a list of opengl games made for windows?
I'm asking because it seems that they run very well in wine with little or no overhead, while dx games suffer from a good 25% penalty.
I tried Unigine in opengl, and it confirms that.

[SOLVED] mplabx fails to run...

Hi guys,
First post, noob to Arch and looking for some guidance.
I've installed mplabx from the AUR, but it doesn't run....
I followed the wiki step by step, downloading the tar-ball, issuing makepkg and finally pacman -U.
Although the first time my pc crashed partway through makepkg, I re-ran makepkg with the '-f' flag as advised in terminal, the process completed and then I used pacman to install.
After the install, terminal reported that before running mplab I must agree to the LICENSE, I had no idea how to do that so I searched these forums, the only post I could find that
seemed remotely applicable suggested opening the license agreement in a text editor and scrollling through it to the end,which I did ( not sure if there was a bit of leg pulling going on there:-p )
Anyway mplab simply refuses to run.....
log files show this:-

OK, a simple reboot has sorted the problem.....
Does java run as a daemon? How would I find out if this is the case?
Marking this as 'solved'....

DAQ program compiled under Win2k won't run under Win 95.

When I compile a LabView 5.1.1 vi program that uses lvdaq.dll on my Windows 2000 workstation, that same program will not run on a Windows 95 notebook computer. Error code 21 (external subroutine could not be found) is reported for all standard DAQ vi's calling functions within lvdaq.dll even though the dll can be found in the program directory, the system directory, the vi.lib\daq directory, and via the system path. The same program compiled on a Windows 95 workstation runs on the Windows 95 notebook computer just fine. Why is lvdaq.dll not found when the program is compiled under Windows 2000? Do I need the same version of NI-DAQ on both computers?

Larry;
If you are doing NI-DAQ function calls on your VI you need to match the NI-DAQ version on both machines, otherwise, depending on what functions you are calling and what are the NI-DAQ versions, you might get some errors. Just for future reference, this procedure is good for NI-VISA (if you are using VISA VIs) and NI-488.2 (if you are using GPIB boards) as well.

olive wrote:I have installed spotify and it works. I see that there is a warning about libgcc_s.so.1. Is this file installed (owned by gcc-libs). If there is still a problem move spotify.exe launch it with a fresh WINEPREFIX.
Checked out gcc-libs using pacman -Ss gcc-libs and it showed a lib32-gcc-libs on the list of packages.
So installed it and spotify now runs fine,
Thanks

Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam driver fails to start under Win 7

Recently purchased a Sat Pro A300 and immediately upgraded from Vista Bus to Win7 Pro.
Didn't try to use webcam before upgrade.
Post-upgrade, after downloading and installing Chicony webcam software from Toshiba, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft driver v 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/06 (very pre-Win7!).
Have tried unistalling/reinstalling camera assistant software with and without first uninstalling camera in Device Manager, but same error message comes back every time. I'd much appreciate some suggestions re a fix.

Hi
In your case I would try to install the latest webcam driver from Toshiba. Install this driver and try it again. Make also sure that latest BIOS version is installed for your notebook.
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs on Vista. You should try it with factory settings. So you can identify if its a hardware or software problem.

Version 6.0 running under Win 7 - non-alphabetic characters typed appear as something other than what I typed -- É for question mark for example.

Forward slash appears as lower case e-acute é, question mark as upper-case É. Some, not all shifted numerals also map differently. Shift-3 for instance is forward slash instead of hash symbol.
I played around with character sets - various unicode and western sets - this resolved the problem in an earlier FF version, even after I`d reverted to what I started out with ( I can`t even remember what the default is now.) It was also suggested elsewhere in this forum that the problem could be resolved using the Region and Language settings in Windows Control Panel. This is obviously wrong, because the keyboard is working fine in other applications. It was also suggested I try to resolve by activating the language toolbar in the taskbar, but the option doesn`t even show up so I assume it was never installed.
My judgement this problem is definitely not OS, but Firefox.

See:
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.<br />
Windows remembers that setting per application.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

FFMPEG screencast is not working for WoW under Wine (AMD Catalyst)

Hi all. I'm trying to record game video using ffmpeg, but each time when I actually switch my focus to the game window, the picture freezes. Here is the example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4kfKpgcTAE This is World of Warcraft running under wine. I use AMD Catalyst beta-driver from the unofficial repository (mentioned here) on x64 system (lib32-catalyst-utils also installed).
I tried this:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 30 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -acodec flac -vcodec ffvhuff test.mkv (from wiki)
and some variations I found over the Internet:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 30 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -acodec flac -vcodec ffvhuff test.mkv
None of them worked.
I guess it's due to driver, because when I tried recordMyDesktop tool a few days ago with xf86-video-ati driver it recorded wideo. But when I switched to proprietary drider, both ffmpeg and recordMyDesktop are not working. I'm not going to change video driver because it's performance in video-games, so I'm wondering if there is any solution to my problem (except windowed-mode!).
Thanks.

Hi,
I had similar problems when trying to record OpenGL games with FFMpeg CLI. I use the catalyst-test drivers for my AMD HD 6870.
You could try downloading SimpleScreenRecorder via yaourt; get both, including the lib32-simplescreenrecorder.
There will be some conflicts, but choosing to replace some files hasn't caused any problems.
Make sure you have both lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins installed (pacman).
Once everything is in set, open SSR (SimpleScreenRecorder); set audio input to:
- Record Microphone
- Backend: PulseAudio
- Source: Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
I chose to output as MKV ; H.264 ; MP3 @128
Select Start Recording and fire up WoW. I was able to playback the game-play video (full screen 1920x1080) with audio.
You may need different settings from what I have, notably the audio, but it should record in full screen mode.
Good luck !

Does Photoshop Elements 13 run under Windows XP?

After going thru hell with Support on the serial number issue, I find out that PS Elements 13 doesn't run under Win XP? Is this correct? Please don't tell me to upgrade, I KNOW.

That's correct. Elements 13 will not run on Windows XP.
Photoshop Elements 13 requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.

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.

Hearthstone under wine

Hi
Is there anyone, who has Hearthstone running under wine 1.7.18 or 1.7.19? I have to keep wine 1.7.17, last version under which it runs for me. Under *.18, *.19 I can launch game, no crashes, I just got "Your game timed out ..." ..
So, does it work for anyone?
Thanks

Version .19 and .20 are both busted for me, so I'd stick with .17 for now. If you need a newer wine, and you don't mind building it yourself, there's a (reported) fix in the bug report:

Cannot run Source games under Wine

Hello, I remember when I used ubuntu I had the ability to run Source games (although they looked... weird, I couldn't place my finger on it) under wine, however I have yet to get any source games to run. When I try to run them the text comes out all messed up, and the textures are screwed up beyond belief.
Apon trying to launch TF2 from Playonlinux, I get this:

I use FGLRX (the beta version with Xorg 1.9), Gnome, Compiz-Fusion (doesn't work under metacity ether), and Arch Linux AMD64.
I hope that's all the information I need.

i have not tried team fortress, in a few days when the month rolls over and i get my broadband speed back i can try installing it. I have only minor problems running left4dead and halflife2 under the latest wine. but i cannot get the games to run if i install playonlinux. maybe theres something special you got to do to get playonlinux to work but i prefer to not use it.
