Its homepage can be found at. • If you are running the latest release of Wine which is v1.6, you can get further assistance on the #winehq channel on irc.freenode.net. First, • please consider if you really need to run the specific Windows program because in most cases, its equivalent can be provided by an program. Also, consider using instead of Wine if you need a complete Windows installation. Installing Wine Ubuntu versions of Wine (Recommended) • open the software center • Type wine and install 'wine' Newer versions of Wine (Not Recommended) If you are using 9.10 (Karmic) or 10.04 (Lucid), the provides the newest development versions of Wine. Add the following to Software Sources: • ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa Note, however, that these are development packages (ie beta software), and may suffer from regressions and other problems not present in the stable version of Wine included with Ubuntu 10.04. You should avoid using them unless the current stable version of Wine does not support or is incompatible with the application you wish to use. If you are using an older version of Wine and want support from WineHQ, you will need to upgrade to the latest development version first. If you do this, however, please file associated Wine bugs at winehq's rather than in. ![]() Initial Setup Before using Wine, it is necessary to create the fake C: drive where your Windows applications will be installed. To do this, enter the following command into the terminal: You may find the terminal by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal winecfg You also have the option of configuring Wine via the Configure Wine option in the Applications-> Wine menu. This will create a hidden folder (.wine) in your home directory containing the fake C: drive as well as registry files similar to those used in Windows. Once this directory is created, the Wine Configuration Window will appear. This window will allow you to customize a variety of settings for Wine, including which Windows Version that is emulated, drive mappings, DLL overrides, as well as application specific settings. Probably the logic board/power supply. I have the 27-inch ACD with issue as well, brought it to Apple years ago and the Genius wasn't willing to repair it for me. Unlike other Mac issues, you can't delay dealing with a misbehaving display; it must be addressed immediately. If you are lucky, the glitch is just a glitch, temporary in nature and not necessarily an indication of continuing troubles to come. Click the Ok button to close the window. Installing Windows Applications With Wine To install Windows applications using Wine, follow these instructions: • Download the Windows application from any source (e.g. Download the.EXE (executable). • Place it in a convenient directory (e.g. The desktop, or home folder). • Open the terminal, and cd into the directory where the.EXE is located. • Type wine the-name-of-the-application.extension (e.g. Wine realplayer_installer.exe). This will start the.EXE using Wine. ![]() If it is an installer, it should then run as it would in Windows. If the application asks for a directory to install the application to, select put it under C: Program Files. The My Passport drive is USB or Firewire bus and does not require a separate power supply. A Power Booster Cable (Not currently available for My Passports using the USB Micro connection) may be needed if you are using any of the following: A laptop computer that has limited bus power. My passport for mac, how do i install it in a lenovo. I have files backed up on an external WD My Passport drive. I want to transfer them to a new computer. What do I need to do. The external drive is currently connected to my old PC which has Win XP Home Edition. The new computer will have Win 7 installed. I have a WD 'my passport' external hard drive. I got a new ThinkPad (Lenovo T450), and when I plug in the hard drive, the light comes on and the drive makes a 'whirring' sound. But the drive is not showing in My Computer. Cannot detect WD passport portable drive in X230. My WD passport protable drive does appear in the devices and printers panel, but it doesn't show up in Computer panel. I suggest you to install the drivers supplied by the manufacturer any disc or USB which came along with the WD passport drive. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties. Select Compatibility tab. To start/run Windows programs using Wine After installing an application using the directions above, those applications can be started and used by entering wine programname.exe (e.g. Wine realplayer.exe). When done, close the application as one would normally. You must run the installed executable, which will by default be in the virtual Windows drive created by Wine, at ~/.wine/drive_c. Generally programs will install themselves somewhere under Program Files inside the virtual Windows drive, following Windows conventions. You can also use the Wine file browser, by running winefile in a terminal. Clicking the C: button in the toolbar will open a window where you can browse the virtual Windows drive created in.wine. Doubleclicking an executable in the Wine file browser will run it in Wine. Instead of having to always enter the terminal or use the Wine file browser, you may also create a desktop icon, and start a Wine application using that icon. To do this, right click on the desktop and select 'Create a launcher.' If you wish, select an icon from the list of available icons (or browse to an icon you would like to use), fill out other information that is requested (Name, generic name, etc.). For the command, type in wine the-location-of-the-program.exe (e.g.
