WINE shortcut not working

Hi,

I recently moved from gnome3 to xfce, and i can say i'm really happy !!!!

I've only one problem, when i install a windows app with wine, .desktop is created, whisper menu is refreshed with menu entry/icon, but if i run the application it does nothing...

I tried to create a .desktop file, with this inside :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Worms WMD
Exec=/home/unknown/Scripts/wine/Worms_WMD.sh
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
Path=/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD
Icon=E8AB_Worms W
StartupWMClass=worms w.m.d.exe
Comment=
Terminal=true

And here the Worms_WMD.sh :

#!/bin/sh
env WINEPREFIX="/home/unknown/.wine32" WINEARCH=win32 wine "$HOME/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD/Worms W.M.D.exe"

But nothing too...i'm totally lost...

I i run the Worms_WMD.sh from terminal worms run perfectly fine !

Can you help me please

Re: WINE shortcut not working

Hello and welcome.

Path=/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD

First thing I would try is to encapsulate the above in quotes:

Path="/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD"

...the shell doesn't respond well to spaces.

If it still doesn't work, do the same for "StartupWMClass".

Depending on the distro that you use, check your ~/.xsession-errors file for errors after you try to run the game.

Re: WINE shortcut not working

Hi,

I tried to quote one by one and the two, not help.

Here is the log after i run the menu entry :

Le répertoire de travail « "/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD" » n’existe pas. Il ne sera pas utilisé à la réouverture de « exo-open ».Le répertoire de travail « "/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD" » n’existe pas. Il ne sera pas utilisé à la réouverture de « exo-open ».

Basically, if you don't speak french, he saying the folder ""/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD" doesn't exist...

What's the hell is this...if i cd into the folder it open fine, my sh script prove it.

Re: WINE shortcut not working

Can you post back the edited contents of your .desktop file? It should be:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Worms WMD
Exec=/home/unknown/Scripts/wine/Worms_WMD.sh
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
Path="/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD"
Icon=E8AB_Worms W
StartupWMClass=worms w.m.d.exe
Comment=
Terminal=true

Also, what does the following return:

ls "/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD"

If it still doesn't work, try removing the whole "PATH=" line.

Re: WINE shortcut not working

Here is the new .desktop :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Worms WMD
Exec=/home/unknown/Scripts/wine/Worms_WMD.sh
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
Path="/home/unknown/.wine32/drive_c/Jeux/Worms WMD"
Icon=E8AB_Worms W.M.D.0
StartupWMClass="worms w.m.d.exe"
Comment=
Terminal=true

I tried to remove Path, not working more...

And if i do ls ... :

What does ~/.xsession-errors say after you remove the PATH= line?
