Jon,

If you can't get it to run under Wine, you could always try installing
Windows in a Virtual Machine, using Virtualbox or VMWare, and then running
Sage on that.

Regards,

Gus

last time i looked, wine had sage listed as not working at all. The wife
uses it, and won't try linux because  as i  couldn't get it to work, so
if there is a way to get it going that would be great.

All I can think of off the top of my head is making sure that things 
like Compiz are turned off and maybe try another version of Wine (if you 
install PlayOnLinux, it will allow you to install multiple copies of 
Wine which you can try).

[ubuntu-uk] Sage Line 500 Client & Wine

2010-04-22 Thread Jon Farmer
Hi

I have installed the Sage Line 500 client under Wine and it installs
and starts up without a issue.

However I have noticed that it does not refresh the current view
correctly. For instance if I am viewing the transactions of a
particular customer and I chose F6 to page forward the list does not
refresh properly (it leaves the entries of the previous page visible).
If you however move to a item and drill down into it goes to the item
that should be at that location on that page. So it seems like it is a
client issue with redrawing the screen.

Anyone have any ideas? Being able to get this to work would be great
as it is a must have application for my employer.

Regards

Jon
