Hi, I am running POL 3.8.12 on Ubuntu 10.04.

I just tried the DVD installation for Starcraft 2, and it installed a different version of wine (1.3.11). During the SC2 installation and subsequent upgrade process, SC2 needs the wine-gecko package to display HTML, but the correct wine-gecko is not installed. Wine constantly asks if the gecko package should be downloaded and installed, but it always fails.

How to reproduce:

- Make sure /usr/share/wine/gecko/wine_gecko-1.1.0-x86.cab is not present
- Make sure wine 1.3.11 is not installed
- Run SC2 installation using DVD
- Result: wine constantly pops up window requesting gecko download

Workaround: download wine_gecko-1.1.0-x86.cab manually prior to installation

Please add gecko installation to SC2 installation script to solve this issue.

PoL installer updated :
- Added gecko dependency
- Updated wine version to 1.3.17
- Added game effects fix for ATI/AMD graphic cards users
- Added performance tweak

Hi again! I tried to verify the new version, but I am having trouble getting it to work.

1. wine 1.3.17 is downloaded and that seem to work

2.
The gecko fix does not appear to work. I remove everything from /usr/share/wine/gecko to force a geck download. The download is made, but is not installed in that directory. If it is downloaded to a different location, then wine I don't think wine find it, because after a while wine wanted to download it once more.

3. Immediately when the installation starts copying files to the HDD, I receive a "file not found" error and the installation is aborted. This is currently a stopper. I have tried ejecting the DVD so that it is reset, but it does not help.

Thank you for your efftort!

For the gecko issue, perhaps this is the problem?

chaplin:~$ ls .PlayOnLinux/ressources/
vcrun2005 wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab

wine 1.3.17 requires gecko 1.2.0:

wine-1.3.16 - current: wine_gecko-1.2.0-x86.msi, wine_gecko-1.2.0-x86_64.msi

Tha latest wine supported in POL_Install_gecko is 1.1.26, otherwise it falls back to 1.0.0:


wine-1.1.1[56789]*|wine-1.1.2[0123456]*)
GECKO_DIR="$WINDIR"
GECKO_VERSION=0.9.1
GECKO_SHA1SUM=9a49fc691740596517e381b47096a4bdf19a87d8
;;
*)
GECKO_DIR="$WINDIR/system32"
GECKO_VERSION=1.0.0
GECKO_ARCH=-x86
GECKO_SHA1SUM=afa22c52bca4ca77dcb9edb3c9936eb23793de01
;;

And for the copy problem, I think this is the problem:


94 cp -r "/media/PlayOnLinux/*" "$POL_USER_ROOT/tmp/SC2_WoL/"

The line number may be a few lines off, I forgot to backup the script before editing. Problem is that "*" is not subjected to glob expansion since it's in quotes (").

I think that bash correctly handles expansion of * so removing the quotes work:


94 cp -r /media/PlayOnLinux/* "$POL_USER_ROOT/tmp/SC2_WoL/"

This code will not copy files starting with a full stop (.* files), but I guess that doesn't matter in this case.

Also, this command:


88 POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "Installer Tome 1.MPQE"

seems to generate a "find -iname "${CDROM}/$1", but that won't work:


find: varning: Unix-filnamn innehåller normalt sett inte snedstreck (även om sökvägar gör det). Det betyder att "-iname "/media/PlayOnLinux/Installer Tome 1.MPQE"" antagligen kommer alltid att bli falsk på detta system.

Translated:

find: warning: Unix filenams normally don't contain slashes (even if paths does). This means that "-iname "/media/PlayOnLinux/Installer Tome 1.MPQE"" probably will always be false on this system.

But that is a POL problem and not a problem for this installation script, I guess.

Thx for reporting, all should be fixed now.

Just to let you know - I reinstalled SC2 and it worked like a charm :-D. Many thanks!
