First, P.O.L is excellent and thank you to all those involved in it's developement. I started on Wine for a few things I need to get away from then found this front end and love it. I try not to use anything from the Windowz side of things if there is an alternate available. I have recently decided to do the syncronized X-mas light thing and after much resaerch have settled on the free program Vixen 3. Found here: http://www.vixenlights.com/downloads/

I managed to get 2.1 working w/o a hitch but it is pretty much self contained. I got 3.1 working in Wine some-what but kept getting a parsing error before it launched. I installed it in P.O.L. and when I launch it I get,

"Another instance is already running; please close that one before trying to start another."

I top in a terminal and can see it's running but there is no GUI. I'll kill it and try again with the same result. Restart the machine, same result. I uninstall everything but Vixen 3.1 same result. If I watch the resources when launching they don't go up in usage at all before the message. 

I am running Linux Mint Qiana (17)  Cinnamon on an old Dell latitude D610 with 2 GB ram. (Runs like a Champ) Dual booted with Win XP all up to date (as it will get)
Play on Linux 4.2.5 (Ubuntu)
Vixen 3.1  32-bit needs net. framework 4.0 
Vixen 2.1 uses net.framework 2.0
In Wine I have it set as Win XP

Min system requirements for 3.1 are:

  • Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. (XP is no longer supported or tested by the development team)
  • 32 bit version of Vixen 3
  • Dual Core processor.  Intel Core 2 Duo or newer
  • 2 GB RAM or more
  • 1024 x 768 (XGA) or greater video monitor

 

I know I don't meet the requirements per se but I was hoping someone could look at the log anyways.

 

Thank you for all your time and input.
