Wine does not work on UBUNTU?
I installed wine on ubuntu through the add/remove applications tool. It installed just fine and is now listed in my applications list. Also, I installed windows data entry test software through wine, and it too installed just fine and is in my applications list under wine. However, when I click on the data entry application in the application list, nothing happens. The computer doesn’t freeze but nothing happens, no error, no blinking working light on the computer, nothing. I would appreciate any help.

Try running it from a prompt and see if it gives any error messages. Then try googling the error messages and see if anyone else has had the same problem.

Programs such as your training CD’s, or Excel, Word, Internet Explorer. Wine has not yet been perfected it does have some problems. But it does give Linux users an opportunity to use some of their must have programs that only operate in Windows.
It doesn’t run everything well.
