[b]**NOTE: THIS PROGRAM HAS A KNOWN BUG WITH UNITY (REGULAR UBUNTU'S DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT). THIS APP HAS BEEN TESTED WORKING WITH KDE, XFCE, CINNAMON, AND MATE. IF YOU ARE NOT USING ONE OF THESE, AND HAVE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:
[I]RIGHT-CLICK DOESNT WORK
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS DONT WORK[/I]

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE ANY CLUE ON HOW TO FIX. UNITY, CANONICAL'S INVENTION, IS SOMEHOW CAUSING IT NOT TO WORK. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS, PLEASE POST THEM HERE.[/B]
Here is the updated version of this script, running VERY VERY well, with no errors or glitches. I have installed in multiple times on my system to make sure it works well. Enjoy!!

Hopefully this one will get approved. :D Teehee.

I also finally have Reason 5 working, menu's and all, so I will probably work on that script this week and get it posted.

Hi DJYoshaBYD,

(Added "code" tag to your message to improve readability and benefit from line numbers)

Some (maybe not exhaustive) remarks about the code:

- use POL_Wine_PrefixCreate "Wineversion" instead of manipulating POL_WINEVERSION directly

- define PREFIX="AbletonLive822" to avoid duplication and make it easier to spot virtual drive name

- is the "sleep 5; POL_Wine_reboot" actually required? Use of "sleep" in automation is usually a bad code smell

- As written, "POL_SetupWindow_InstallMethod "LOCAL,CD"" is unnecessary (you're not making any use of $INSTALL_METHOD) (http://www.playonmac.com/en/dev-documentation-7.html)

- Use eval_gettext consistently and use standard messages whenever possible to avoid duplicate work by translation team (http://www.playonmac.com/en/dev-documentation-10.html): "Please select the setup file to run.", "Please wait while $TITLE is installed.",...

- Improvement: it's recommended to create the virtual drive as late as possible; So I'd move lines 20 to 42 after line 47

Yeah. this is my first one. Lol. Just getting into this project. Ill make those corrections and re-post.

The sleep and reboot code I just thought was needed for install c++ and stuff, so since Its not, I can take it out.

Thanks again for checking this out. Ill get this taken care of.

(there has been an issue with your paste, reformatting as well as I could
Ronin DUSETTE Tuesday 15 January 2013 at 4:18
Ronin DUSETTE

Yeah. I noticed that earlier. It was fine, and then it would change after I saved it. I did it a couple of times, and it worked, but I guess something must be wrong. Perhaps on my side. Chrome just had an update yesterday, and its been somewhat buggy.

PS- Thanks for helping with the reformatting, as well as the tips. I looked through a bunch of other scripts to get a feel for how they are written.

Hi,

I validated the script in the repository with a few changes (that you can check in the history of changes).
I'm tempted to remove the version number from $PREFIX, unless you plan to support the installation of several versions in parallel.

To add an icon to the installer, I need at least a 22x22 PNG icon;
Your screenshots have disappared;By the way, if you want to submit some again, those must be screenshots of the working program, not of the full desktop, and not of the installation.

Regards,
Pierre.

Excellent. The version number can be removed, as I have tested the script on a few recent versions of ableton 8, and they are all functional. No one would really run two different versions of that program. Not for any reason that I can see.

Ill get you the icon here in a few. Ill make a list of this and get it posted by the end of the day.

sawweeeeeeet.

Also, if you want, you can remove the version number from $PREFIX. Unless you would rather me do it? Its up to you. :D

Thanks! Its fun to be a part of something like this.

top.jpg was roughly square, but larger than 64x64 pixels.
That should be ok now.

Ronin DUSETTE

Oh ok. Hmm. Thats odd that it was off. Oh well. I must I have lost track after doing like 10 of them. Friggin Gimp. lol. Its kind of fun, though, because I have to hunt down images, and make them. Like, the left.jpg. Those are actually fun to be creative with.

Yes, I sometimes spend an awful lot of time doing those too ;)
The format (150x356) is very tall, it's often a challenge to find something that would fit, and I almost always end up with a composition of my own... :D

Hey,
I just installed Ableton 8.2.1 (I had to change a few things in your script like the POL Shortcut).  It looks like it installed successfully, but the program does not response to the computer keyboard.  Do I need install something else to get the keyboard to work?  Thanks

UPDATE:  I Configured Wine to emulate a virtual desktop and I am now able to use my keyboard in Ableton.  However, I am no longer able to use the right mouse button.
