.net 2.0 in Linux?

[Adub]

Hey guys,
I just decided to get a little cozy with penguins using Ubuntu before I take the next step to Sabayon.

so my question is, how do I get .net 2.0 programs running in linux? I suppose Wine is involved, and something called mono, but I can't find a decent how-to anywhere on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ex. program: FLV Extract.

[Sharktooth]

Install the very latest mono with the related libs (expecially the windows forms...) and the latest wine.
Do the usual wine setup and run your proggy using wine and voila'...

I am not quite sure what the usual wine setup is, but I installed the latest version of Windows Mono using wine, and when I type the parameter:
Edit: I read most of the wiki on configuring wine, but I am still not sure how to fix this.

I even tried loading gdiplus.dll in the libraries override section but it didn't do anything.
wine FLVextract.exe

I get this:

ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
wine: Call from 0x7b843f50 to unimplemented function gdiplus.dll.GdipCreateFontFamilyFromName, aborting

I don't think you need Wine for FLV Extract. Try Mono, but use the Linux version instead of the Windows version. I'm not sure that it will work though, sometimes I've had to work around bugs or things that aren't implemented in Mono to get my programs running. If it doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can do something about it.

[mc2man]

drop your .exe somewhere (desktop) then right click and select open with other app. in custom command paste
'/usr/bin/mono'
after that "open with mono" is added to right click options

[Adub]

Okay, I tried using the linux version of mono using the command:

mono FLVextract.exe

and I got this:

When I try running mono with this command:

mono program FLVextract.exe

I get "cannot open assembly program".

I tried adding the "/usr/bin/mono" line to the "Open with Application" command, but when I select to open with mono, nothing happens.

[mc2man]

with the .exe on desktop try in terminal
mono /home/doug/Desktop/FLVExtract.exe
change the name

sorry didn't see you tried that - I think
what ver. of ubuntu

edit
go back to right click, open with other and browse to mono - usr/bin/mono. select and then open
don't know why pasting it in doesn't work

[Adub]

Hey it worked!!

Weird. I tried typing it in the "Open with Application" commandline before, with the exact same path, and it didn't work. But if I browsed to it with the browse button and clicked the executable then it workes flawlessly.

Why wasn't I able to run it from the commandline? It was just be kind of nice to now for future use.

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibon.

[mc2man]

From the terminal prompt you need mono<space></path to/file
doug@doug-laptop:~$ mono /home/doug/Desktop/FLVExtract.exe
if you stuck a setup.exe in drive_c, then for example
doug@doug-laptop:~$ wine /home/doug/.wine/drive_c/SetupImgBurn_2.3.0.0.exe


as far as the custom command box I never could figure that out
for example if I copy and paste this
'usr/bin/mono' #typed
it won't work(cannot find) and if I copy and paste this (from this thread)
'/usr/bin/mono' #c&p from browsed
it works (obviously just the command)

[Adub]

Interesting. when i use the mono command now, everything works. As you can see from my last posts, it wasn't working. I don't know what changed, but I am glad it's working now.

Thanks alot for your help mc2man. Being a linux noob sucks. And shit starts working as soon as I post here for some odd reason.

[Sharktooth]

@mc2man: usr/bin/mono obviously wont work unless you're on / ...
however, for newbies, dont forget to use the autocomplete (TAB key) in the terminal... it saves you a lot of time and will prevent typos...

"Being a linux noob sucks."

Hah dont worry... that kind of thing you will learn quickly.
