Vineyard

vineyard + PinguyOS

Asked by John LaFosse

I'm having issues installing anything in vineyard. I think it is a permissions issue. Previously, wine would not settings so I added the following:
sudo chmod -R u+rw $HOME/.wine

It now works. Is there an application or folder where read and write permissions need changing in order to install codecs, direct3d, etc...?

There are no special folders for codecs, direct3d, etc.
Everything will be placed in $HOME/.wine and $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes if you use prefixes.
Both these folders (as most things in your home folder) should be writeable by your user, like you've already done.

Note that you can change where to store prefixes by changing the WINEPREFIXES environment variable, if you so desire.

Can you help with this problem?
