Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Cannot see 'tick boxes' and other contents when installed programmes using Wine. Is there any other Post 302462877 by dday on Friday 15th of October 2010 08:33:02 AM

I had problems with some programs under Wine. According to their documentation, you can substitute native DLLs for some of the generic Wine DLL's if they are available. That may help on somethings.

I went back to Office 2003 for some Powerpoint presentations that we do at church. I just couldn't get OO to do them right without screwing the fonts up. 2002 PP runs perfectly under Wine.

As far as your other productivity stuff... Linux alternatives are better. Your choice of calendar, mail, photo editors, music creation and burning software.
And for you gamers, there are a TON of cool, very entertaining choices in every genre.

NAME
winetricks - manage virtual windows environments using wine SYNOPSIS
winetricks [options] [verb ... ] DESCRIPTION
winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine. It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps with appropriate workarounds for the current version of wine. It can be used via gui or commandline. The commandline mode is intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier wine frontends and in automated regression testing. winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog. OPTIONS
--force Don't check whether packages were already installed --gui Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline -k, --keep_isos Cache isos (allows later installation without disc) --no-clean Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging) --no-isolate Don't install each app or game in its own bottle -q, --unattended Don't ask any questions, just install automatically -r, --ddrescue Retry hard when caching scratched discs --showbroken Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine -v, --verbose Echo all commands as they are executed -h, --help Display this message and exit -V, --version Display version and exit Commands: list list categories apps list list verbs in category 'applications' benchmarks list list verbs in category 'benchmarks' dlls list list verbs in category 'dlls' games list list verbs in category 'games' settings list list verbs in category 'settings' list-cached list cached-and-ready-to-install verbs list-download list verbs which download automatically list-manual-download list verbs which download with some help from the user list-installed list already-installed verbs prefix=foobar select WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/foobar EXAMPLES
To see list of available packages to install: winetricks list-download To install a package: winetricks 7zip ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

WINE If set, this specifies which wine binary to use by default XDG_CACHE_HOME If set, this is path to system's user data cache (default: $HOME/.cache) W_CACHE path to Winetricks' user data cache (default: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks} AUTHORS
