noob ? i know... wine config file

[mazikowski]

I installed wine 0.9.12 in FC4 using yum.

Where would I locate my wine configuration file? I am trying to add the WoW memory override to it but do not know where it is / what it's called. I found winecfg but I don't know if that is the one i need to append or not.

I need to add this:

;; App default settings
;; World of Warcraft settings
[AppDefaults\\WoW.exe\\memory]
"MemoryLayoutOverride" = "0x10000000"

try at prompt..
[user]$ su
password: (root-password here)

[root]$ rpm -qa | grep wine

ans see if you can identify the 'config' file in lists there
use gedit to open said file
backit-up (save as something else)
save as (original name again)

make the mod (paste your text on at the end)

There is a sample in the source documentation/samples/config
then try wine app again.

I used the rpm -qa | grep wine command but it just returned the .fc4 file name, no other files at all.

I was talking to someone that said it was in ~/.wine/WoW but I dont have that. is it because i am running it from a non-writeable windows partition?

Well apparently the config file is not used anymore - not present.

see: http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wineuser-guide

To configure your wine, use
[root]$ winecfg

(it saves the settings in the registry)

wine runs as a service so check--

[root]$ service wine restart
and
[root]$ chkconfig wine --list
wine 0-off 1-off 2-on 3-on 4-on 5-on 6-off

reboot system!

[mazikowski]

my system says neither 'service' or 'chkconfig' are valid commands

[jmazikowski@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# service wine restart
bash: service: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# services wine restart
bash: services: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# chkconfig wine -list
bash: chkconfig: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]#

[tom-tjtech]

[jmazikowski@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# service wine restart
bash: service: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# services wine restart
bash: services: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]# chkconfig wine -list
bash: chkconfig: command not found
[root@localhost jmazikowski]#

Try
[root]$ su -
and not su itself

ok, got that done rebooted system, don't see any changes, what was supposed to happen?

[tom-tjtech]

Rebooting and test 'wine' again to check it runs OK
that is it is persists on reboot, thats the chkconfig thing.

try
[root]$ wine --help

if you get something then wine is at least running OK.
And thats about as far as I can help you as I don't really know how to use
wine very much!
As far as I can see you have to do the config thru the winecfg or regedit
Maybe someone else with experience of wine could help here???
