Solved Wine

[patch]

logged in and installed updates as they were there. Noticed one of the updates referred to wine 32, but didn't pay attention and updated regardless.
I now find Quicken deluxe 98 which ran under wine is not working at all, just shows the mini icon by the cursor bouncing for a while then the icon disappears.
Have not done anything further yet as I need this program and it's data.
Advice welcome.

What Mageia version? And please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep wine
urpmq --list-media active --list-url

I'd suggest you look at the properties of the shortcut which should start Quicken, copy the command that it should run,
enter that in a terminal and post the complete output of that, too.

You missed the other essential part of my post:

I'd suggest you look at the properties of the shortcut which should start Quicken, copy the command that it should run, enter that in a terminal and post the complete output of that, too.

Anyways, you currently only have wine64 installed, which is only intended to run Win64 programs.
See earlier threads, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8865 and viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5082
Best remove the -64 packages and install normal 32bit wine, as root via e.g.

Code: Select all

urpme wine64-gecko wine64
urpmi wine32 wine wine-gecko

[isadora]

received the following warning

Code: Select all

Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)

Could not continue with install - desktop has now changed dramatically. all effects lost.

You're missing the Tainted 32bit Release repo, so you cannot install some mandatory libraries. Please enable it via http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/ ... media.html and try again.
desktop effects are lost because it seems somehow you uninstalled more then just the wine packages I mentioned, seems you also removed some mesa packages.

[patch]

Thanks for your help and advice Doktor, but it seems I have wrecked the installation. (might have been due to lib64kwineffects1?).
I have downloaded and installed mageia5 on a separate hard drive, will copy home folder across as a backup, will then do a re-install on the original drive.

Well, why did you remove it in the first place, never recommended that. Did you run the suggested command?
