A example of error that apears when I try to install something: "The file ‘/home/John/Downloads/Plants vs. Zombies Game of The Year Edition.exe’ is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." What did I do wrong? Tell me the exact steps to install software in Ubuntu with wine.
I am using centos on my vps and i want to use ubuntu on my new laptop, but i want to install some adobe cs4 software on it, like photoshop, flash, dreamweaver…I know that i can do it using wine, and i know how because they have good tutorials, but i already have virtualbox installed on my xp so i wounder if i can use it, and if yes, is it better ti use wine or virtualbox?
I tried to use gimp 2 months ago on xp and didn’t really like it so if i can use photoshop i will, and another thing lets say that the alternative of photoshop is gimp, dreamweaver has no real alternative, and adobe flash has no alternative at all, so i have to use wine or virtualbox anyway
I am working an engineering internship where we were taught SAP and use it regularly.
The computers we use are old, and are set up so that 4 (four) users can use one tower.
That being said, if one of these other idiots has a lot of windows open or has 15 tabs of Face Book open in their browser, it slows the system down considerably.
Since some of the transactions are specific to the company, I can’t just install a new version of SAP on my laptop, but rather I feel that I need to "Pirate" the software installed on the computer I use, then transfer the data onto Linux (Ubuntu) and install it using wine so that I get the exact same setup.
This ONE computer the FOUR of us use is almost always at 80% load, and uses about 2.5Gb of memory out of the 3Gb available. I’m sick and tired of telling people to log off Face Book so that I can do my work.
I’m going to ask the IT team for help, or if they will give me a version to use during my internship here.
Regardless of what they say, if this is possible, I would like to know how to do it even if it’s just for the fun of knowing it, whether I use it or not.
Thanks for any help.
Basically I want to steal software from windows and install it on linux.
I know it’s illegal which is why I won’t do it on the company computer without permission,
But I will do this on my computer at home with the software I HAVE paid for.
Any info, and/or helpful google searches would be great.
I know that VM software runs on top of an OS and creates a "fake" computer, which can run a different OS. What I want to know is the practical differences between the two, would it be faster or slower, would it have full hardware access or not, would windows drivers work the same within the VM.
I want as much info/advice as you can give. I have a new computer (high spec gaming), running Ubuntu, although I can use whatever distribution is best. I need windows to play games on.
I have a Cyborg R.A.T 9 mouse, which works okay in linux, but i do not have the configuration software working. For drivers and stuff would it be best to go for: Instillation on a separate HDD, a VM (please say which is best) or a compatibility layer like Wine, I am worried that the RAT 9 Drivers might not work on a compatibility layer.
I know what the difference is in terms of what they are, what i want to know is the difference in how they act, and how they are used.
I’m just put Ubuntu on my computer and I liked it at first but now I really don’t because windows programs aren’t compatible with it. I know there’s Wine for Ubuntu but I really don’t know how to use it. Will all windows programs work for it?, like itunes. Can someone with Ubuntu please go on my computer using the remote software that comes with Ubuntu, i don’t know how that works to so if you want to your going to have to help me with that. I’m really looking for someone that will go on my computer probably someone experienced with Ubuntu?

For example, Ubuntu needs a program called Wine to install Windows-based software. So is there another Linux OS that can install them right away? And if so, whats the lowest Linux OS memory usage?
I want to install some of my windows based music software on my laptop and I’m gonna try another version of linux. I’m currently running Mandriva on this one and Ubuntu on another. Ubuntu doesn’t work well with my software and Mandriva doesn’t like my cd player unless I’m running Mandriva from it. Can I use Playonlinux and Wine on Slackware?
I have a Medion PC with an Intel Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz processor, FYI.
Right, last night my computer was lagging so I held down the power button for 3-4 seconds until it forced a shutdown. I’m sure this is the root of my problems, but I had done it before without consequence, so the fact that this might happen never occurred to me. Anyway, today, when I switched it on I got BSoD. Now, I know you’ll want all the details of the error message, but I can’t give them to you for reasons I will explain soon. All I remember, or at least think, (I might have forgotten) is that part of the error code was 0xDE and that part of the big all caps with underscores error message was BOOT. Now the reason I can’t give explicit details of the error message is that now even it wont appear. I tried booting in all of the possible modes, , safe mode, last known good configuration, etc but to no avail. After that, and henceforth, when I try to boot from any of the aforementioned options, a white segmented line appears below all the options and then fills up to be just a white bar, at which point everything freezes and I have to force it off by holding down the power button.
I do not have access to the windows xp CD btw, and I’m not willing to fiddle about with my computer’s internals.
Just so you know, I know I’m pretty much screwed, but I’m looking for someone to prove me wrong, cos I really don’t want to use Ubuntu as my main operating system. Software support for Ubuntu is nowhere near windows, and Wine isn’t all that spectacular so I’m kind of desperate. Please help.
I personally think that the linux OSes, need to develop their WINE more.
Contact hardware manufactures and software developers to ask them to make a Linux version or to have it open source (hardware manufacturers only)
Make it that the main Linux OS, have a universal installing program. Right now its .rpm for fedora and .deb for ubuntu and Debian.
