Wine 0.9.9

[Teegedeck]

This one seems a winner, after the disappointment of version 0.9.8. VDubMod works again, more reliably than before. Actually it seems rockstable; doesn't crash anymore on AviSynth-errors but outputs the correct warnings. AVI-headers are written correctly, too, for a change.

Other good news: RemoveDust-scripts work for me, now even with SSE-versions of the DLLs.

I've been trying to get it, but the Ubuntu APT-GET server keeps timing out and I can't get a complete package to install. :angry:

Try wine's own server, they have packets for ubuntu (http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb).

Thats what I've been trying. It times out and I can't download the complete package.

This is a very good release actually.
The Wine devs should be finally proud of their work.

Some months ago I wasnt too happy with wine, but at least it worked quite easily for simple stuff.

Now I dare to say its even a GREAT asset!

Yeah I get that all the time too. What I do is go to http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/breezy/ with my browser, download the .deb with wget and do a dpkg -i wine_file_I_downloaded.deb

I cannot really believe that there's only one server that hosts apt-repositories for Ubuntu... How about trying to find a mirror?

Or perhaps there is an Ubuntu version of the Smart Package Manager (http://labix.org/smart) which is bound to replace apt in the long run? It also handles mirrors and can download mirror- and channel-information via http (if anyone offers that information), so you don't have to edit config files.

I have AVISynth installed and DGIndex appears to work, although it makes everything else black when I run it, the desktop can be restored easily.

The problem is VirtualDub. It's fine as long as I don't open anything, but once I open it the emulated Windows desktop goes black and stays black. I have tried a multitude of settings, none of which improve things. I have to kill the terminal that I ran Virtualdub from to close the virtual desktop.

[Teegedeck]

You don't need to run a virtual desktop; as a matter of fact I'm pretty new to Wine and haven't yet discovered that you can run a virtual desktop at all!

Try disabling DirectX support in VDub's preferences.

[Oline 61]

You're right, virtual desktop just makes Wine harder to use.

Thanks, disabling DirectX fixes it.
