I’m just trying to figure out to install programs under Wine.
I followed the instructions on the Wine HQ site and see I saw James Bond Nightfire(anybody got Tomb Raider 3 and especially Legend working?)…so I thought I’d give it a try and it does start the install,but there’s a problem…
…when you try to remove CD(or dvd) #1,you get a device busy error(and sound).
Is there a way to get Linux to pop out DVD(CD)#1,so you can do like the install asks and put in CD#2?
Richard
Type in console:
sudo umount /media/<cdname>
replace the <cdname> with the exact name of the medium.
ps.: use TAB to autocomplete.
or open a console and type
wine eject
eject - The Official Wine Wiki
Had the same problem when I was installing an old game that needed three cd’s to install.
Good Luck,
Ian
Thanks for the commands guys.
I was able to unmount the dvdrom drive and remove Nightfire cd #1,but then the system wouldn’t “mount” CD#2
that is to say during the install process pressing the “ok” button for cd#2 didn’t work.
I guess there’s an art to this which I hope to master yet! lol

The winewiki says the this command works only if you correctly set up you drive in winecfg.
Did you set up any drives in winecfg?
Er…no I guess I didn’t.
On checking,the only listed for drives in winecfg is:
c: …/drive_c
Z: /
What would put for
D: in this case dvd-rom/dvdrw drive(LG 20x GSA-H55N DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Rewriter)
btw: When I open “winnecfg” in a Super User Terminal window,I get this error msg:
fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)
Cheers

You don’t need to start winecfg in a Super User Terminal window. Run like normal user. Insert the DVD and under Devices tab click to add, type/browse the patch what points to the DVD.
Example if your DVD called MEDIA01, your patch should be:
/media/MEDIA01/
.
Good luck.
Thanks for the help!
Wine Install: James Bond Nightfire -perfect!
*Game good
*Sound good
*Video: Good
*Movies - Opening and Inbetween scene -just white screen with sound.
AFAIK,I installed all the codecs in the Opensuse Multimedia tutorial.
Minor annoyance.In any event,who needs Windows with Wine!
Nightfire -full game -installs and plays under WINE!
Great!
Yeah, maybe it’s a codec problem. Take a look to the comments in wine’s appdb, maybe you’ll find a solution.
Good gaming!
Thanks.
Well having said that,I tried to install another program called “Illumina” and it asked to install Quicktime…anyway it works,but the graphics don’t work the greatest sometimes.
Then I tried to install Tomb Raider Legend,but Wine said it wanted the original disc,so that was weird.
Anyway,I guess I’d better not get too overboard,because I keep thinking knowing how flaky windows and its programs can be,that I could crash the system and I don’t want that!
Thanks for yours and Ian’s help!
