Replying to Wine Problem!

However I don't really know why you're wanting to use dreamweaver, but you could try the alternative for Linux which is Nvu (n-view) which maybe what you want http://www.nvu.com/index.html

i don't like nvu, i think macromedia dreamweaver is more powerful than nvu, i tried it before and i have it installed already always as a backup editor but never used it, i prefer to use a text editor than using nvu, may be because my first view of it, after i finished the design then i preview it, everything were mixed.
about KMyMoney, i will try to use it then i'll put a feedback here.

post your error messages.
there are 1,000,001 things that could be the problem.
error messages give vital clues, simply stating that it isnt working could mean anything.
In your last posts, you said dreamweaver wasnt working with wine, when infact the actual problem was your Xorg configureation.

root@php:/home/sting# kate /etc/apache/httpd.conf
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

kate: cannot connect to X server :0

This also another sample error i get when i try to run Kate "text editor" from terminal as a root, what do you think i should do to configure X server?
Thanks.

I couldn't track down my dreamweaver CD (haven't used it in years), so plans to install it may not go, unless I copy my installation from my Windows partition over and work from that.

An alternative to MS Money, might be KMyMoney http://kmymoney2.sou...index-home.html but I might be wrong, as I have not used MS Money before so don't know if it's equivalent or not.

It runs natively on Linux, so it'd have better performance than running it from WINE.

CodeWeaver's CrossOver is a WINE based package, that helps dramatically with running Windows programs under Linux, it however is not free.

I'm still thinking you should try winetools, I'm not sure what packaging Ubuntu uses though it's based off Debian so they may have a .deb package you can install it with, or just use the tar.gz file (which I think it also contains the compiled binaries so no need for compiling). Here's the link to winetools http://www.von-thadd...chim/WineTools/

I think you'll need to install the MSI package, then try the Dreamweaver setup installation using WINE although, I haven't seen anyone saying they've had any success in doing so. I'm not sure how old these are, but WINE might be able to run it now, I'm not sure.

Since I can't find any success on it, I may attempt to install it, since I do have Dreamweaver MX which I could try to install, but I won't start that till the weekends.

it solved the problem that i used the user i use in graphical mode, not the root user, now it runs notepad, but still can't install macromedia dreamweaver and can't ofcourse use the windows installed copy, i read some where that it needs a crossover office to be used under wine, do you know about that stuff??, also about winetool mastercomputers told me about, how can i set it up?, i can't find it any where even.
Thanks for helping

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

your X server is rejecting the clients connection attempts.

Mastercomputers is correct, Run wine as the same user as you are graphically loged into.

alternatile use xhost to turn off this rather redundant security feature. the exact command is

xhost -

doing this will allow other users on your network to connect to your X server, (which is very bad, as they could remotly log keystrokes, or spy on you.

make sure port 6000 is firewalled if X is listening for incomming connections.

use netstat to test if X is listening on your network.

netstat -lpn

look for X listening on tcp port 6000.

odd, try to reinstall wine.

Unless you have been randomly deleting binaries, i dont see how this could help.

It's not a WINE problem, it's a problem with X Server and possibly User Authentification.

Just a side note, make sure hostname is set too. (didn't see it in the bash line)

Now depending on how you started X, which user was it? Do you correctly revert back to previous users, e.g. if you su to root, then su to your user, that is not correct, you should exit from root which takes you back to your user. That may solve the problem.

If not, you could try xhost, I suggest doing man xhost for more information on using this command.

Mate, as i said before it's not the first time i face this problem, i always install Wine and it does the same every time, it's not an installation issue, i'm sure.

to test the wine install, run "wine notepad" (or maybe "wine notepad.exe" )
If wine can run windows notepad, then wine is installed correctly.
Wine is great, but its not finished.
It doesnt yet fully support all win32 APIs

EDIT:
Ohh, and the best thing to try, is native linux versions or applications.
I dont know if there are any windows versions of DreamWeaver, but there are some good money aplications.
how would the linux accounting application GNUCash http://www.gnucash.org/ work for you ?
Would this be a suitable replacement ?

i tried to do that, the problem as i said in Wine installation or configuration, no error message when trying to run it, just it doesn't open its console, i think it's a graphical issue, anyway this is an error message it gave when i tried to run notepad :
/home/sting# wine notepad.exe
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!

Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
though i'm running on graphical mode not text mode, and i know that it's not fully supported but macromedia dreamweaver is one of the supported applications, i just read also that money can run by wine, that's all about this problem, lately i reinstalled my system due to a problem and still Wine doesn't run "not a linux installation problem", still i'm so confused with it.

and about GNUcash, it's so weak application still comparing to Microsoft Money, though i don't like all microsoft products but still this one is the best even comparing to Quicken, i tried cash so much times before, never could like it, also i have a lot of money files already, GNUcash couldn't convert them, i can't do 2 years work again
