Have been using Pinguy for only a few days. I had Ubuntu, but had to give it up and go back to microshaft about a year ago. Now I am back. I had some problems (read: don't like unity too much) with ubuntu, so decided to give Pinguy or Zorin a shot. Pinguy won.
I like the system, but am having a few issues that are causing me heartburn. Some of them are, I'm sure, software (or user), like Acidrip ripping dvds with subs, even though no subs is marked, and separate folder checked. But there are a couple that I am hoping someone can help with.
Wine 1.5.26 does not work. Not with any program. DVDFab works, but will not read dvd, and wine config says failed to connect to mount manager. Same error with 1.4 and 1.5. (1.4 from WineHQ site, 1.5 from WineHQ AND software center)Even a known solid program such as esword does not run. But crossover does not work either. I click on the icon, and...nothing (except the crossover nag screen about registering) Sorry...can't be paying my $$ if I cannot get the product to work. Because neither works, I am wondering if there is something wrong with my install of Pinguy (when I installed, it was smooth, with absolutely NO problems. Surprisingly so.
I run Dell Inspiron 1420. Dual boot, Vista and now Pinguy 12.04. If I can get wine and/or crossover operating, I will be a happy person. Your help appreciated.
Thanks
