Do I need to install what Leawo asks to install?
Sorry.
It asks to install the JRE.
Since dnf shows that I have the openjdk, and Fedora docs says that
openjdk includes the JRE, do I need to have Leawo install JRE?
I have Openjdk installed as well but I got that message and I did
what it asked, but I found the install didn't actually didn't happen.
The jre installer was downloaded to a folder on Wine's Drive C so I
issued a wine command to install the jre under wine which
subsequently removed the message. One thing I did find as a test, was
that if I ignored the message it still played the movie anyway.
I also got the same JRE message when I ran the program under Windows
11 but under Windows 11 the install process actually happened.
I had no other use for the OpenJDK, so I uninstalled it.
In wine, I accepted Leawo's "offer" to install Java. A blank window
was showing for a while. Otherwise, it seems to have installed Java
just fine.
I tried to play the one blu-ray movie that I have that does play in
Fedora's VLC. When I click the movie title under Leawo's "Play"
button, there's a few seconds delay, then the player disappears
(crashes).
Trying a blu-ray movie that does not play in Fedora's VLC gives the
same result.
I submitted a "bug" to Leawo, but the response does not look
promising. I'll be trying what was suggested later this evening.
I'm finding wine difficult. Text is almost unreadably small. I
haven't found a way to change that. About the only thing I've gotten
from wine so far is a "hangover".
When I did the download under Wine I got the blank window as well but
even after that download/install the message was still produced. What I
don't remember was whether I passed the wine location of the jre
installer into wine to actually install it, or whether I passed in the
location of the jre on my Windows 11 locations, but when I did the run I
got a blank window and lots of lines written to konsole during the
install but the empty window never disappeared, I had to close it
manually for the konsole interface to indicate the process was finished.
Two of Blueray movies I have are "Independence Day" and "John Carter"
both of which, apart from what I think is the buffering, play quite
happily, when neither of them will play in VLC under both Fedora and
Windows 11 (there seems to potentially be a lot of fiddling to try to
get them to work).
With a 4K monitor and desktop running at 4K I found the wine text very
difficult to work with as well (my experience is wine is not the only
application that suffers from that issue). What I haven't tried as yet
is to run "Control Panel" under wine to access the Display configuration
to do what I do under Fedora (at least KDE, I haven't found the same
functionality under Gnome) and Windows 11 and set the Desktop scaling to
150% to make the text readable.
