Today's PlayOnLinux update to 4.0.1 has a serious problem. All shortcuts no longer work. Message:

/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: line 45: ./playonlinux-bash: No such file or directory

Also, when I ran PlayOnLinux itself, it thought I had not run it ever before and created a new "virtual drive".

If I try to use the Detour plugin to restore the shortcut, it complains, "drive_c folder does not exist".

Please, how can I fix the shortcuts? I badly need access to my programs!

Thank you.

Hi,
First, detour plugin no longer work with PoLv4 and it's not needed anymore because you can regenerate shortcuts at any time.

Try to completely remove PoLv4 then reinstall it, your current installation has probably goe wrong and you miss some utils.

This point is normal, POL 4 was run for the first time

You must run POL 4 and wait for few seconds. Then, try to run one of your program in PlayOnLinux's list.

If you can't see any program, go to configure window, and restore them with "Make a shortcut from this virtual drive"

If you can see your program, and if they work, you can use "Shortcut" button in the toolbar

Got a similar situation here:

- fresh wine installation 1.3
- fresh playonlinux installation 4.0.1
- fresh installation office 2007 in pol

Installation was successful. Unfotunately no shortcuts were created. Clicking Shortcut brings no solution to that problem (no window appears).
So I tried Configuration / focus on prefix Office 2007 / Make new shortcut from this firtual drive / searched for winword.exe and excel.exe, selected them and created shortcuts.
Now I have them in my shortcutlist in the main window. But as soon as I try to execute them I get an error message: Invalid error - received internal parameters (translated this error message into english... so... not sure if it is even near to the english message ;) )

Thx for your help!

Normally, it's fixed in git version for 4.0.2

Ah, great (and thx for your fast responses, btw... if there'd be some kind of internet wub you'd get one :P )
May I ask you what kind of error it is and when 4.0.2 will be released?
Thx!

It was a cd missing in bash file. Can you test it for me please ? I want to be sure that this bug is solved.

1 - Edit /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux

Just before the lines :

shift
NAME="$1"
shift
./playonlinux-bash ....,

add cd "$(dirname "$0")"

The file should be like this

For office 2007 problem, set wine-1.2-rc1 wine version for Office virtual drive

First, detour plugin no longer work with PoLv4 and it's not needed anymore because you can regenerate shortcuts at any time.

Does that mean I should delete the detour plugin?

Try to completely remove PoLv4 then reinstall it, your current installation has probably goe wrong and you miss some utils.

I have done that. Nothing changed.

You must run POL 4 and wait for few seconds. Then, try to run one of your program in PlayOnLinux's list.

Still the same error.

If you can't see any program, go to configure window, and restore them with "Make a shortcut from this virtual drive"

I have done that, and the new shortcut is identical to the old shortcut.

In the past, upgrading POL has always been flawless; the new POL just carried on from where the last one left off.

This time, the new POL thought it had not been run before (none of the other upgrades has done this).

But it gets weirder...

Publisher:
From the automatically-generated menu shortcut, it gives that error. However, from POL's screen, it runs.

Quicken:
From the automatically-generated menu shortcut, it gives that error. From POL's screen, nothing happens.

So, I'm getting inconsistent results as well as the error.

Yep, automatically-generated menu shortcut are broken ! The git version is fixed

Pol did'nt thought it had not been run before, if it was the case, it would have been reinstalled microsoft fonts. POL just need to run "first wizard" to make a wineprefix called "default", it's a new feature that's prevent POL to modify .wine folder if the WINEPREFIX is not specified. Don't worry, all is okay :)

You can read my latest post for the fix

It was a cd missing in bash file...

I've tried this. The error has changed:

And then it hangs!

Click on configure button on quicken

Wineversion is set to "usr" isn't it ? Put another one ;)

Yes, it is!

I have changed it to "System".

Now, I get a better result.

1. The following messages display:
[POL_Wine_AutoSetVersionEnv] Message: Reading version :
[POL_Wine_AutoSetVersionEnv] Message: wineprefix : /home/paddy/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Quicken
[POL_Wine_AutoSetVersionEnv] Message: POL_WINEVERSION is not set

2. It runs! :D

3. When I close the program, in the terminal it still hangs. Even Ctrl-C does not stop the session. The processes playonlinux and playonlinux-bas are still sitting in the background.

So, it is much better -- thank you! But the process doesn't die; something is still wrong.

(By the way, the "Preview" button under this post doesn't work, so I cannot preview to check that I have put the codes correctly.)

Oh... the processes have died now. It seems they just take a long time.

It works.

Thank you!

EDIT: No, I was mistaken -- I was looking at the wrong screen. Sorry. They are still hanging.

Edited by PaddyLandau

Ok, I know where does the problem come from !

4.0.2 is out in 5 minutes to correct all that mistake

Yay! Works here too with 4.02 after setting wine-version to System.
Awesome programm, awesome support, I rlly rlly rlly feel like to have to donate now ;)

It was a pleasure Scyth ;)

(In three week, I'll be unavailable for nine months again. And after that, I'll have plenty of time for POL, so if you have something to ask, don't hesitate)

I have just installed POL 4.0.2, and everything works again!

Thank you, Tinou.

Playonlinux 4.2.1 - same problem,
tomas@tomas-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y550P:~$ playonlinux
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: řádek 70: /home/tomas/bin/uname: binární soubor nelze spustit
This script must be run on a linux system
.... I used it without problems for few weeks. I will try to reinstall it and will refer.

Oh sry I didn't realise, in my case the playonlinux now doesn't even run.
