I cannot access internet when running on Wine, since 12.04

Asked by Manuel Ordás Fernández

I run a few Windows applications on Wine.
Since I updated to 12.04 LTS those applications cannot access the internet. I have no trouble with apps running directly on Ubuntu.

Wine connections ran properly with Ubuntu 11.10.

Which apps are you running in Wine?

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy wine

Thanks

I run

Spotify._ This one seems to work ok as I can listen the songs

Bwin and Pokerstars applications, which are the ones that do not connect. When I run them on another computer with Windows, I do not have problems connecting (I use the same wireless access)

After running command I get

"No LSB modules are available"

also

"wine:
   Instalados: (ninguno)
   Candidato: 1.4-0ubunto4
   Tabla de versión:

Many thanks

Spotify has a native client

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E
gpg --export 4E9CFF4E |sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify

Check the wine appdb for your other apps. Wine is not a perfect solution, not all apps run. Some won't even install.

PokerStars has a platinum rate...
It worked perfectly until updating to Precise.

I think the starter is the problem:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=PokerStars
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/bb/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/bb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Startmenü/Programme/PokerStars/PokerStars.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/bb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programme/PokerStars
Icon=/home/bb/.local/share/icons/565c_pokerstarsupdate.0.png

If I change to

[Desktop Entry]
Name=PokerStars
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/bb/.wine" wine /home/bb/.wine/drive_c/Programme/PokerStars/PokerStars.exe
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/bb/.wine/drive_c/Programme/PokerStars
Icon=/home/bb/.local/share/icons/565c_pokerstarsupdate.0.png

everything works like a charm again!

Of course this is just a (bad) workaround.
Problem still exists!

Can you help with this problem?
