@Zephirus2 heya o/
it still works for me yep, although i've not tested it widely (only really on arch linux and nixos), so i'm not surprised it doesn't always work
what distro are you using?
what else is logged before or after that error?
i'm not familiar with the internals of wine itself so that error on it's own doesn't mean much to me unfortunately
hey thank you for the guide it's super useful! :)
do you know how i could give musicbee the permission to write files though?
i am no developer so i don't know if it is related to your installation at all but every time i try to edit tags/love a track/send to volume analysis etc. it simply gives me the error Access denied. Ensure that your windows account has permissions to write to the directory and file. when i should have full rights in the music folder?
sorry it seems like. an easy enough fix and maybe i'm missing something super obvious but i can't figure it out and searching the web doesn't return much so i was wondering if you ran into this issue as well
@924e50c0 that's definitely an odd issue, with those permissions, anything should be able to read from/write to those files
can you try running something like WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/MusicBee/ wine ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/MusicBee/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe, and test with notepad to see if you're able to edit anything?
i've not seen that at all myself - the only thing i can see from those screenshots that's different to my setup is that i'm loading the music from the same drive, instead of something on /mnt (i don't see why that would cause any issues, but i'll test it myself in a bit)
couldn't edit anything with notepad either, even with the default wineprefix actually
i just moved some files in the same drive as my linux install and they can be edited that way. it's apparently just the drive on /mnt where wine can only read files when i should have full permissions
Hello- I'm on EndeavourOS (fork of Arch). I have winetricks 20250102-1 from multilib and wine 10.13-1 from extra. When I try to run the script as is, I get warnings:
warning: You appear to be using Wine's new wow64 mode. Note that this is EXPERIMENTAL and not yet fully supported. If reporting an issue, be sure to mention this.
warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.
When I then try to run ./.local/share/wineprefixes/MusicBee/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/MusicBee/launch.sh, as is in the .desktop entry, I get:
0138:err:environ:init_peb starting L"Z:\\home\\laura\\.local\\share\\wineprefixes\\MusicBee\\drive_c\\Program Files (x86)\\MusicBee\\MusicBee.exe" in experimental wow64 mode

0138:fixme:mscoree:parse_supported_runtime sku=L".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" not implemented
0138:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed
Based on this blog post, I considered adding export WINEARCH="win32" alongside the other exports in the script, but then I get the following error when running it:
warning: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't figure out if wow64 mode is newer than the script, or if I maybe have some unusual wine config. This is my first time using wine.
@laurapigeon sorry for taking a bit to reply, was busy moving countries!
I know about the wow64 warnings, they're fine and should just be ignored; arch switched to supporting only it a couple months ago and I updated the script then to get it to work again. I completely forgot to update the blog post though, which is why it mentions win32 still (updated now)
I've tested it specifically on endeavour os now too and it seems to work for me there. Given it mentions it, can you try installing the wine-mono package and see if you're still getting the same result?
uhm! hey a couple of suggestions/fixes and a couple questions.
we fink you should add winetricks --unattended windowmanagerdecorated=n so that MusicBee will launch with its own window decorations. This is important because, by default, the menubar is part of the titlebar, which the desktop environment replaces wif its own. You can't access the settings wifout the menubar.
Also, we had to add an export to line 44 because otherwise the program was launching wif the default wineprefix and not the one set by the install script.
uhm ! we'd also like to change DPI but haven't figured out what command to use? we managed to do it by invoking the winecfg GUI, but. would like to have it all done in the script.
got it working wif wine reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000090 /f
also also uhm ! the icon isn't working? we had to change the icon name to 693A_MusicBee.0
@Fluffies-System thank yous for this! i really appreciate it
my girlfriend had encountered the same issue with the menubar but we weren't able to find out why, and it's never been an issue for me - added it now, also added the export
for the icon, it seems like wine doesn't consistently name icons - i've updated the script to automatically find the right icon now
for the DPI stuff, i'd had the same issue - i don't think it can be done automatically, as i can't find any easy way to get the dpi across X11/wayland and kde/gnome/etc, so instead i've just added a note after finishing for how to set the DPI
just wanted to say yay >w< fluffies did a help. fang you fur writing this script bytheway!
Hi! Does this still work for you? I'm getting this error..
