BlackberryBlend on Ubuntu 14.10

Asked by pantonysr

Blackberry Blend may be useful. It seems to converge my powerful Blackberry z30 with a laptop and allow me combine the best of each device. However, I use Ubuntu 14.10 on an old HP laptop. It works beautifully for my purposes, which are very limited since I do 90% of my computing on my powerful Blackberry z30.

The Problem is that I don't know how to run Blackberry Blend on Ubuntu 14.10. When I played around with Wine for the first time, it went swimmingly until the following error:

Microsoft .NET Framework required for Blackberry 10 Desktop Software setup. Setup Failed. One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file:

Here are some sites about how to run Microsoft .NET Framework on Ubuntu (Linux).

Thank you kindly for your suggestions.

 It is true that one may use a Blackberry z30 as a USB drive, and, in fact keep up to 64 or 128 Gigabytes of files on the Blackberry. However, to bring BBM and Blackberry functions to Ubuntu, Blackberry Blend on Wine seemed logical. Too bad it doesn't work. Still I'm working my way through Blackberry's announcements today, which may cause me to buy a cheap, light and powerful Microsoft computer. Then I can dual boot.

Assuming Windows will always be buggy, then Wine itself will likely be buggy. Can't wait for Ubuntu "convergence".

Wine is not buggy per-se. It is trying to accommodate applications trying to use a proprietary OS and it's system calls using a best effort endeavour by the Wine team.

Maybe if Blackberry supported more than just Windows and Mac, you would be fine..... This is the fault of Blackberry, not Ubuntu or Wine. If you contact Blackberry and express an interest in a native application for Linux it will help it get made as they will see a demand. Most people just take to bitching on forums which doesn't achieve a great deal.

My perspective is user experience. I simply bought a new computer by Asus for less than $300. I installed Ubuntu in addition to Windows. Ubuntu runs Firefox very fast. Windows runs BlackBerry Blend very effectively. I did not pursue wine any further for the reasons stated. This is dictated on a blackberry smartphone.

Can you help with this problem?
