johnallen Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 There used to be a thread on this that disappeared recently. I am running Ubuntu 7.10, and BBO seems to install (using Wine) but fails when I try to run it. Does anyone have it working (other than on the Eee)?

keylime Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 There was recently a Wine update so that may help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix_Ru Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello all. I'm using Fedora 8 i386 + wine 0.9.52 and i have following problem: If i run BBO under WinXP compatibility - i didn't see even players in lobby.If i run under Win98 - i see players, but no stars etc... i can enter table, but no suits available - only red crosses. The problem is probably in HTML rendering... I haven't copied dll's from Windows or something like that - just plain Wine install and BBO. Can somebody help?

Gerardo Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Red crosses, etc: Get the symbol.ttf file from Windows, put it where wine can pick it up. that's all you need. In new installations, you see only friends in lobby, unless you change the configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnallen Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thank you everyone. BBO under Wine works reasonably well under Ubuntu 7.10 following these steps to install: 0. Install Wine using the Synaptic Package Manager.1. Do "wine bbo_setup.exe"2. Copy Symbol font "symbol.ttf" to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts Then: 1. The launcher on the desktop should work. If not, run "wine NetBridgeVu.exe".2. When BBO starts, you are told that the Gecko installer should be run. After it is run, BBO works as far as I've tested it. However, the "Back" button is off the screen, so the only way to leave a table is to get out of BBO. Does anyone know how to see the back button and other controls at the bottom of the BBO window?

Gerardo Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'll assume your monitor has a 1024x768 resolution.Either CTRL-W (so BBO doesn't take full screen), or autohide the GNOME top and bottom panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
