Hello when i try to run WoW with cedega i always get this error:
drpepper@Palsson ~ $ cedega /home/drpepper/WoW/WoW.exe
F1 2007-12-02 22:00:30,923 WARNING Optical drive detection: dbus is either not running or is not installed.
Does anyone know what i need to do to fix it ?

Try:
to see if dbus is placed in any runlevel. If it doesn't try as root:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/dbus start
rc-update add dbus default |
Good luck. |

do you need the drive to play? it's safe to ignore it.

try different engine versions? it could be possible that the one you are using doesn't work with wow...
edit: perhaps check the wow thread, there might be extra settings you need.

You could try wine to play it. Just add -opengl to the command and it will probably run fine, maybe even better than with cedega. Wine has surpassed Cedega for many games by now so you should give it a go . It's free, too. Just emerge wine and try "wine /home/drpepper/WoW/WoW.exe -opengl" or "wine Z:\\home\\drpepper\\WoW\\WoW.exe -opengl"

AFAIK, only cedega v6 are affected
Use cedega v5 which don't use DBUS or wine as previously suggested.
btw, do you have the X use flag enabled? |

I think he should just use Wine, for three simple reasons:
1. Wine is free
2. It integrates better into a linux desktop
3. If it works it usually has better performance, afaik |
