--- Comment #3 from André Pirard A.Pirard@ulg.ac.be 2013-05-10 19:09:01 CDT --- "the problem of your distribution" is unclear, especially to the general user. Mint users use Wine distribution, Mint distribution, Ubuntu distribution, Debian distribution, MATE distribution, Cinnamon distribution and I think that Ubuntu users using MATE meet the second problem too. It's usually the job of each software, not system, provider to explain how to install their product.
For the sake of Wine, you should state that Linux Mint users have to use the APT configuration URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu Distribution: <ubuntu> Components: maint or the source.list file line deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu <ubuntu> main where <ubuntu> is the corresponding distribution, for example "precise" for "maya". They're supposed to know the correspondences but it's useful to refer to http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php
Regarding the second problem, I did not analyze it. I'll just say that I've just had to replace "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;" with "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;" in a shortcut for a component program not to block much of the system. Hence, that the problem may occur because of the addition of a Desktop layer to any system.
I'm explaining this for the sake of Wine. If no one cares, I won't fight to death for it. I agree that Linux is a dish of spaghetti and I always claim that it's not the best way to succeed. But I didn't choose that. Nor to emulate Windows on Linux instead of Linux on Windows ;-) I just admire your doing it and I support you.
