           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3

        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Hi I did a quick search in the bugtracker system but was unable to find my
problem. I installed wine 1.0-rc3 in Xubuntu 8.04. I followed steps as shown on
http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . However when I want to Browse my C
drive I get the following error " Failed to open URL "~/.wine/drive_c". " and "
The URL "~/.wine/drive_c" is not supported. ". In " /home/myname/.wine/ I have
following permissions: drwxrwxrwx  4 myname myname   4096 2008-06-04 18:56
drive_c ". Is this something Xubuntu specific or are there similar bugs
reported in Kubuntu, EDUbuntu (and perhaps Ubuntu). I will go ahead and google
as well.

~/.wine isn't created until you run a wine application. Try running:
$ wineboot

And see if it works then.

Hi. I get the same error. Cannot use wine because of this error. Can install
applications but can't browse them after install.

I imagine all XUbunutu users are having this problem which is why I'm surprised
at the severity rating at LOW??? Anyway until such time as this bug is fixed
here is a temporary solution that you will need to do every time wine updates.
A simple but inperfect solution:

Code:

sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/wine-browsedrive.desktop

change line:

Code:

Exec=xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c

to

Code:

Exec=xdg-open /home/your_user_name/.wine/drive_c

Wait about one minute for changes to take effect.

Don't forget to change your_user_name to your user name

Actually this is not Wine problem at all. Please contact your distro. Wine does
not create any links for it's "c: drive" on the desktop. This is your distro's
addition. And if it does not work you need to contact them instead.

Closing invalid - not Wine bug.
