Here's some stats about the computer I'm running Play on Linux with: OS: stretch 64bit CPU: Intel® Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz × 2 RAM: 2.0 GiB Graphics: Intel® 945G (built-in video on the motherboard) I think I have located the driver for this video card but I'm not sure how to install it. I tried to install it as a regular program, but the setup program says that my computer does not meet the requirements to install it.
How do you install drivers into Play on Linux? https://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/intel/laptops-desktops/945g/917 I just added i386 to dpkg and installed wine32. This seemed to resolve a lot of problems. I successfully got the installer for a windows app to run. However it did not install correctly... I'm trying to install Spotify client. I installed "mono-complete" and "mono-complete:i386" but the installer still could not find mono. So I had the play on Linux installer install mono. *It complained that I do not have "wine-gecko" installed. *I cannot seem to resolve this. Spotify says that it could not find WINHTTP.dll and won't run. However, I did successfully manually install and run this software with default wine... although it doesn't require a lot of stuff to run. (It will run in DOS apparently) It's an audio spectrum analyzer. https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/Audio-SpectrumView.shtml Also, on the play on Linux main window, the capture plugin gives me this error: 01/25/19 09:03:52 - [main] Fatal: Please install alsa-base However, alsa-base is not available in stretch. The attached log file is for Spotify. It doesn't say it in the file, but I am getting an error message that it cannot find WINHTTP.dll.
