Public bug reported: Binary package hint: playonlinux
lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 apt-cache policy playonlinux playonlinux: Installed: 3.6-1 Candidate: 3.6-1 Version table: *** 3.6-1 0 500 http://ftp.crihan.fr karmic/multiverse Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expect, when I type: playonlinux --run "Microsoft Office Word 2007" to get a word window Instead, I get the error message: wine: cannot find '/WINWORD.EXE' Idem for all the programs of the suite. After looking at the different scripts, I found that all scripts in directory $HOME/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed are completely wrong: How can somebody make 3 so big errors in a 8-line script, errors that prevent the program to start: ============================================================================ cd "$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12" docname=${1##*/} docpath=${1%/*} cd "$docpath" wine "/POWERPNT.EXE" "$docname" ============================================================================ 1/ the / in the wine command explains the error message 2/ After removing the /, when giving an argument in the call, the 2nd "cd" command cancels the 1st one, which gives the error: wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\POWERPNT.EXE": Module not found 3/ even after correcting these 2 errors, i.e replacing the last 4 lines by just: wine "POWERPNT.EXE" $1 it works only if the given file is in the same directory as the .EXE to make it to work, the correct script is: ================================================================================ #!/bin/bash PATH="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.1.33/usr/bin/:$PATH" export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007" export WINEDEBUG="-all" EXE="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12" wine "${EXE}/POWERPNT.EXE" $1 ================================================================================ ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Nov 30 11:57:56 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: playonlinux 3.6-1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LC_TIME=fr_FR PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/ksh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic SourcePackage: playonlinux Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686 ** Affects: playonlinux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- programs in "Microsoft Office 2007" don't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
