Wine not working

English Games

Hi,

I’ve tried to make Wine work on my machine, however, I could not manage to do it. It just simply does nothing at all. Not even configuration is working. When I start something in terminal, it gives the error message that I don’t own that directory, and it gives me for everywhere. I tried to change the owner with chown to kry, then to root, but the problem remained. However, if I start it with sudo, it almost works. But then the X server refuses connection (side note: the PulseAudio also refuses connection to everything, but I can at least use alsa…), and I haven’t managed to fix this. On the other hand, I have a Virtualbox machine, where I have an oS installed with KDE (I use LXDE), and there wine works normally. Could it be the LXDE causing some problem? Thanks for the help in advance.

How did you install from what source??

Using sudo you become root so that means you have incorrect permissions set maybe due to how you installed it :open_mouth:

It was from Wine Repo. Now I’ve changed it to 13.2-oss repo, but still not working, not even after a new chown kry /home/kry/.wine.

Is it possible, that it’s not working, because my /home/kry is in NTFS?

Linux has no idea about NTFS permissions so this is likely the problem. You should reformat your home directory to something native to Linux (ext4, BTRFS, etc.)

In fact, I’m surprised you’re not getting permissions errors all over the place.
