Hi,

I upgraded to 4.0.6 today and a script I have made has stopped working. It generates these kinds or errors (in Swedish):

mkdir: kan inte skapa katalog "/plugins": Åtkomst nekas
/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/plugins.lib: rad 128: cd: /plugins: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
mkdir: kan inte skapa katalog "/configurations": Åtkomst nekas
/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/setupwindow.lib: rad 41: /configurations/guis/20854: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/setupwindow.lib: rad 42: /configurations/guis/index_: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
These are errors due to that the REPERTOIRE variable is not set. When I downgrade to the old version for Ubuntu Natty, 3.8.8, then the script works again. Has there been a change in the handling of the REPERTOIRE variable in 4.x versions? Currently my script does at the very beginning:

# This variable must be initialized before PlayOnLinux
myscript=`realpath "$0"`

[ -z "$PLAYONLINUX" ] && exit
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"

export PREFIX="${REPERTOIRE}/wineprefix"

What do I need to do to fix this?

PlayOnLinux Console : echo $REPERTOIRE

It works for me

Ok, now I realize. I am executing my script from the command line. And I guess in 3.x, the REPERTOIRE variable is setup in the initial source ($PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources), while in 4.0.6 it's already assumed to be in the environment? Could that be it? If not, where is the REPERTOIRE variable set?

In PlayOnLinux 4.0, all environement vars are set by python. Consequently, you can't run a script from outside

You must use playonlinux-bash tool, or run your script from PlayOnLinux console

Thanks.
