--- Comment #6 from Hendrik Knackstedt hendrik.knackstedt@t-online.de 2012-05-14 14:00:22 CDT --- Hey!
I created an ISO using following command:
sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=TS3.iso
It was about 6 GB but had a different md5sum than yours.
Nevertheless, I finally got it working!
It was a really simple thing: You have to be root when you start the game on Ubuntu!
I suppose Ubuntu mounts CDs/DVDs as root and ISOs can also ONLY be mounted as root so running
chown -R root:root ~/.sims (My wineprefix)
I switched my Wineprefix over to be owned by root.
Now I started the game from this prefix and it recognized the CD/DVD!
I can now play with minor problems (probably only configuration things).
We should probably add a comment to AppDB adressing this problem since the average user (like me) might not think about something like this.
Thanks to all who helped solving this problem! You're awesome!
