run exe on opensuse - Wine

Wine is an open-source implementation of Windows API for Linux. This enables you to run your favorite Windows programs on Linux.

Wine makes Linux "pose" as Windows. Unlike VMWare, Xen and others which pretend to be a computer, on which you then run the real Microsoft Windows as you would on a physical machine, Wine instead just pretends to be Windows, by offering applications the Windows API and functions they use, and mapping them to the corresponding Linux API.

Given that Wine pretends to be Windows, and Windows is complex and convoluted, this posing works only to a certain degree, and varies a lot depending on which Windows application you use, which functions it uses and how complete the Wine implementation is. You can check the Wine Application Database for other people's experiences with your application. Both regular office apps and games are supported by the standard Open-Source Wine shipped with openSUSE. There are also some non-free versions of Wine which support other applications.

Use

Of course, Wine needs to be installed, see Repositories below.

To use the Windows program, first Linux needs to have access to it. The preferred (more reliable and secure) way is to install it from the Windows program's installation CD, by running the setup.exe with Wine, i.e. when openSUSE recognizes the inserted CD and opens it in Konqueror, you just click on setup.exe.

By default, the emulated drive C: will be a directory on the Linux partition, and you can install your program there. You don't need to have Microsoft Windows installed nor to access any possibly existing Windows partition.

Afterwards, you start the program via one of the ways listed below.

From Konqueror

You should be able to just click on a Windows .exe file in your file manager (e.g. Konqueror). That should start the program in Wine (TODO verify common file managers).

CDs that you insert should appear under /media/, and the C: drive in Wine is mapped by default to ~/.wine/drive_c/ - paste that in your Konqueror address bar and make a bookmark.

From shell

If you open a terminal (e.g. Konsole), you can also type wine "/media/dvd/setup.exe" or wine "/media/c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe", where the italics part is the path to the program you want to start, and it depends on your system and your application. The quotes are needed if you have spaces in the pathname.

From start menu

If you want to have an entry for the program in your start / KDE / SuSE menu, you can open the menu folder where want to place it, then click the right mouse button for the context menu, and select "Edit menu". You should see an application "KDE menu editor" opening. Click File | New element..., enter a name and description for it, and enter as "command" the same command as described under "From shell" above. Test the command in a shell first before adding it to the menu.

Commercial Wine versions

You can just install the Open-Source Wine for SuSE - see below. There are also two commercial products based to a large part on Wine: Crossover Office and Cedega. Both have made changes to Wine to improve the execution of some specific applications on which they concentrate. You should check their list of supported applications.

Crossover Office (from CodeWeavers) supports use of some office software like MS Office and Adobe Photoshop on Linux. See the Compatibility list.

Cedega (from TransGaming) can be used to play certain supported Windows based games on Linux. See the Cedega Games Database. Note that both Cedega and Open-Source Wine support playing DirectX and OpenGL games, but the gaming related codebases are very different since they forked some years ago.

Repositories

Up to date Wine RPMs are available from:

SUSE Linux ES 9 & Novell Linux Desktop 9

Above URLs provide both "YUM" and old style "YAST" repositories and can be added by the YAST Installation Sources module, rug, zypper or smart.

On AMD64 and EM64T systems the i586 packages are supposed to be used, since a 32bit WINE version is required to run Win32 binaries at this time.

Following packages are available:

• wine: Builds of the biweekly WINE beta releases. This is the recommended version for most users.
• wine-snapshot: Daily builds of the current WINE GIT state. Only for the experienced user, can potentially be broken!

[edit]

Configuration

Wine is configured by typing winecfg on the command line. This will map all drives for wine and create a .wine on your home folder the first time it's run and then open the Wine configuration dialog. It's recommended that you eject all removable drives before running winecfg as these may confuse the installation.

The file user.reg inside the .wine folder controls wine's appearance.

Here is a "How to" by minio that shows how to make wine look more like the GTK industrial theme: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55286

Sometimes, an application can depend on a Windows font that is not directly available by wine; it will then use to alphabetically the first font available, which might be some obscure fixed-space font, hebrew font or something. Try to cp /usr/share/wine/fonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ in case you hit this problem.

installation PHP on OpenSuse

One of the many popular combinations in Linux is the LAMP setup. LAMP to expand is Linux Apache MySQL PHP. Most of the websites running on the internet these days or LAMP servers where

Linux is your flavor opensource operating system (openSUSE for us :-))
Apache2 is the master webserver on the planet
MySQL is your favorite opensource database
PHP is the popular web programming language

The easiest way to get the LAMP server installed would be to install LAMP from the YaST GUI as follows:

1. Computers - YaST - Install Software - Set filter to “Patterns” then select and accept “Web and LAMP” under Server functions. But, this installs things we don’t need from LAMP perpesctive like DNS, Perl modules etc.

I prefer the manual option to setup a LAMP Server.

So without wasting much of time, lets proceed to get LAMP up and running on your openSUSE in no time. I’m using openSUSE 11.0 but the procedure should equally work on earlier 10.3 and other 10.2 versions.

Install & Configure Apache2 Webserver

Install Apache webserver

opensuse11:~ # yast2 –install apache2

This should install apache webserver. To check try the following command:

opensuse11:~ # rcapache2 status
Checking for httpd2: unused

That tells you, the Apache webserver is installed but just not started yet.

To test if the webserver serves pages, add a file index.html into /srv/www/htdocs/ directory. This is the default web root directory for apache on your system.

opensuse11:~ # cd /srv/www/htdocs
opensuse11:~ # vi index.html

and enter some text say “Welcome to openSUSE 11.0”

Start Apache2 Webserver

Now start the Apache 2 webserver so we can check if it works OK.

opensuse11:~ # rcapache2 start
Starting httpd2 (prefork) done

Now, open a web browser like Firefox and go to http://localhost and you should see the ext you entered (here “Welcome to openSUSE 11.0″)

Let’s proceed to install PHP5

Install PHP5

opensuse11:~ # yast2 –install php5 php5-mysql apache2-mod_php5

This should install PHP5, PHP5-MySQL module and the Apache2 PHP5 module.

For Apache2 to enable the PHP5 module, restart for changes to take effect.

opensuse11:~ # rcapache2 restart
Syntax OK
Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate) done
Starting httpd2 (prefork) done

Install & configure MySQL

opensuse11:~ # yast2 –install mysql mysql-tools

This should install MySQL Database Server and options mysql-tools (for administration) on your openSUSE. To check the installation, run the following command:

opensuse11:~ # rcmysql status
Checking for service MySQL: unused

The above indicates that the MySQL Server is installed but not started yet.

Start MySQL Server

opensuse11:~ # rcmysql start
Starting service MySQL done

By default there is no root password set for MySQL and it is important to set the password for the ROOT account.

Set Root Password

opensuse11:~ # mysqladmin -u root -p rootpassword

This should set the root password as “rootpassword”. Set the password to something more appropriate.

To check if Root password is set and the MySQL Client can logon to the MySQL Server try the following:

opensuse11:~ # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.0.51a SUSE MySQL RPM

Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.

mysql> show databases;
+——————–+
| Database |
+——————–+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| test |
+——————–+
3 rows in set (0.04 sec)

mysql>

In the above, I used mysql client to logon as root, entered the password and list the databases. That completes the installation of LAMP on openSUSE 11.0

To administer MySQL database, the easiest and the popular tool is phpMyAdmin, given that we have discussed PHP5, apache2 setup here which are required for phpMyAdmin, it makes sense to look at quickly setting up and configure phpMyAdmin

Install phpMyAdmin

opensuse11:~ # yast2 –install phpMyAdmin

This installs phpMyAdmin and setup a website at /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin directory. Change directory and use the sample config file to quickly setup phpMyAdmin.

opensuse11:~ # cd /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin
opensuse11:~ # cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php

Edit the file and look for

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘mysqladmin’;

Enter a value for blowfish secret (I’ve set it to mysqladmin here)

Thats done and has the default configs on it. Logon to phpMyAdmin from http://localhost/phpMyAdmin with the MySQL root username and password.

Counter Strike on openSUSE 11.0

Salah satu hal yang membuat saya kadang menggunakan laptop isteri yang memiliki dual boot openSUSE dengan Windows adalah karena bisa menggunakan games online counter-strike. Game lama sebenarnya, tapi saya kerap memainkannya karena memang cukup menyenangkan.

Saya pernah sebentar testing wine untuk mencoba menjalankannya. Gagal dan saya tidak berlanjut mencari tahu bug dan solusinya. Lagi nggak ada waktu

Setelah kemarin ada kesempatan melakukan download CrossOver Office (versi komersil dari wine) secara legal sebagai bagian dari promo lame-duck, saya berkesempatan melakukan download CrossOver Office for Games dan melakukan ujicoba Counter Strike. Ternyata, berhasil )

Berikut adalah langkah-langkahnya :

1. Instalasi CrossOver Games dengan melakukan eksekusi file sh dengan perintah sh install-crossover-games-7.1.2.sh. Ikuti wizardnya


2. Buka menu CrossOver Games | Install Windows Software
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Install Counter Strike
4. Run melalui menu yang ada di desktop

Bicara Kematian

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...
Alhamdulillahirabbil alamin, segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan yang Awal dan Yang Akhir.
Sang Pengatur Kehidupan kita, kapan kita mati dan kapan kita hidup.
malam ini sembari kutak katik keyboard, saya temukan sebuah filem dari youtube sebagai berikut :

kematian itu tidak mengenal waktu dan tempat. Mengerikan....!!! Sebuah episode berakhirnya kehidupan seorang hamba Allah,dan menentukan kehidupan Nyata di akherat sana. Apakah akan berakhir dengan Suul Khotimah (Mati dan Keadaan Jelek) dan Khusnul Khotimah ( Mati Dalam Keadaan Baik ). Sebuah pilihan yang HARUS di pilih dan kita tidak bisa mengelak....

Kematian, tidak bisa kita jemput dan kita tidak bisa lari dari nya.

Entah dalam kondisi seperti apa kita ketika di panggil oleh sang malaikat Izrail. Hanya Allah yang Maha Tahu. Bayangkan ...! apa yang terjadi jika kita di panggil di waktu2 kita yang telah lewat dan dalam kondisi sedang berbuat maksiat? Naudzubillah. Segala Puji Bagi Allah Sampai saat ini kita masih di beri umur oleh-Nya untuk memperbaiki kesalahan2 kita. Alhamdulillah ya ALlah.

Semoga tulisan iniyang kita baca bisa menjadi bahan renungan semua, jadikan sisa umur kita umur yang berkualitas di hadapan-Nya dan Menolong kita ketika di hari pengadilan nanti.
Amin Ya Allah, jadikanlah sisa umur kami umur yang berkah dan barokah dan matikanlah kami dalam keadaan Khusnul Khotimah. Amin
