 Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 12:42 am Post subject: Wine add explorer start menu kde |
 |
|
I've installed wine, got iexplore to work but now i want to add it to my kde startmenu but i can't get it... If i start I can start the browser by moving to the exe but how do i add a shotcut? The spaces like program files seem to block my path. I'm lost
I do not want to use iexplore but probably have to because my school uses a ie-only content manager for this module so.... I will protest and try to get around the ie but just in case....

I think this should do the trick:
| Code: | | wine "C:\Program Files\to\ie" |
if not try:
| Code: | | wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ |
Let me know if it doesn't work. |

| Excellent! Btw, what version of wine are you using? I think it might be outdated. |

app-emulation/wine-0.9.8-r1 must be the laters stable one. Got winetools with it so maybe that changes things.
It works but I have flickering video and flash... Dunno what's the problem.

| I think it might be something with that version of wine. I had, what sounds like, the same problem with Half Life 2. I'm using the latest version 0.9.20 and I haven't had that problem in Half Life 2. I actually just got HL 2 working today. Hooray! |

I couldn't get wine 9.20 to work. No iexplore would start. I got a window, it asked me to install the gecko engine> ok > and after a progressbar it just stayed blank. Dit u use winetools to configure wine or else how did you configure it?
And another question it wine tried to make links to /usr/bin but it couldn't cause i was running winetools as user (like you should) but what are the permissions for usr bin? shouldn't users have write acces to it?

So did the Gecko engine finish installing?
I configure Wine using winecfg then cd to the directory with the executable and run wine name.exe.
Here are the permissions I have set for /usr/bin:
| Code: | ls -l /usr/ | grep bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 118784 2006-09-05 19:00 bin |
If my understanding of the file tree is correct, /usr/bin is where any user on a system(including root) accesses programs. You would not want a user to have write access because if a user gets a virus and/or is a malicious sneak, said user could wreak havok on the entire system. |

If the engine finished I don't know, did't get the idea it did. Thought so about the permissions thanks for the reasurance ,had the same probs with azureus update, it wanted to write to a bin but couldn't. Remaines the question why people write software that need to run as user but want to write to a secured folder... I went back to the old wine but I might give it another try without winetools. Thanks for the info.
