--- Comment #6 from Tibault tibault.damman@gmail.com 2009-06-03 11:42:54 --- Created an attachment (id=21518) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21518) Output of wine-1.0.1
As the latest wine crashes before activation I figured I'd get you guys the output of an earlier version. Synaptic only offers wine-1.0.1 from the Ubuntu Jaunty repos as an alternative, so I downgraded to that.
Surprisingly... activation works with this version!
You get a window with textbox, enter the code, press "activate" and the window goes blank. However, if you kill the window and restart the game, it's activated :-)
(noteworthy: after downgrading to wine-1.0.1 wine told me I didn't have the gecko engine installed (it is installed in synaptic though), so it did that for me.)
After this I upgraded to wine-1.1.22 again, but that one still crashes
