Comments: TntMPD 3.0.39 and TntConnect 3.2 r9 Install on Ubuntu 14.04.02 with Unity

Thanks for this post; I was getting various errors just trying to install it via the default WINE, but this worked like a charm to install. However, it throws an error every time I try to open my database:

he database can not be opened on the C:\ drive because it is not in your "My Documents" or "Desktop" directory.

Database = Z:\home\jennybeth\.PlayOnLinux\\wineprefix\TnTMPD\dosdevices\c:\users\jennybeth\Desktop\JennyBeth.mpddb

My Documents = C:\users\jennybeth\My Documents

Desktop = C:\users\jennybeth\Desktop.

This is even though I have Wine configured to link the virtual My Documents to the Documents folder in Linux, under which I have the folder for my mission organization, and then my mpd under the fundraising directory. Just for funsies, I tried moving it to the top level of Documents, and to Desktop, and opening it from there, and I still get the same error. A possible issue might be that the virtual drive C in my file browser shows the actual contents of "My Documents" is my home folder rather than my Documents folder, even though the Wine Configuration folder shows that it links to Documents rather than home. Did I mess up in the installation? Anyone know how to fix it?

The KEY is 32-bit environment! XML Parser will fail to install on 64-bit Wine. But you don't need POL - just "create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system". From the WineHQ Wiki FAQ 7.2:

"At present there are some significant bugs that prevent many 32 bit applications from working in a 64 bit wineprefix. To work around this, you can create a new 32 bit wineprefix using the WINEARCH environment variable. In a terminal, type:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=path_to_wineprefix winecfg

(use the actual path to the wineprefix), then install your 32 bit application(s) to that wineprefix.

"Do not manually create the directory before running that command; Wine must create it. WINEARCH only needs to be set when creating the wineprefix, and the architecture of an existing wineprefix cannot be changed."

Then the installer will be able to download everything it needs.

Thank you. This worked well. I had earlier tried installing using wine, but without using POL, but it failed while trying to install the XLM 6 package.

Frederick,

thanks for the walk-through.  My old install broke for some reason, so I needed to update/re-install.  This was a big help.

Very straight forward and worked great.  Especially like the tip about moving the shortcut so it can be found by unity search.

thanks again
