Wine
Tweaks and Fixes
Copy / Paste
To be able to copy and paste things between Linux and Wine programs I had to add a key to the registry. The easiest way to do that is by making a .reg
file with the following content:
- wine-copypaste.reg
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver] "UsePrimarySelection"="1"
And then adding it with: wine regedit {filename}.reg
Disable Crash Dialogues
When using Lutris I get a lot of anooying 'crash' dialogue, even though no problems seem to actually be occuring. To fix this you can run—
sh winetricks nocrashdialog
—from the terminal to disable them.
You can also do it by editing the Windows registry:
- wine-nocrashdialog.reg
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineDbg] "ShowCrashDialog"=dword:0000000
Fonts
By default support for other character sets can be missing. You can install more fonts via winecfg
, or use your normal package manager.
Wine looks for fonts in:
/usr/share/fonts
(system-wide fonts)/usr/share/wine/fonts
(wine-specific)~/local/.fonts
(user-specific fonts)C:\Windows\Fonts
within your Wine system. Actually somehwere in~/.wine/…
by default
Default Prefix
The default prefix/bottle/what-have-you is located at ~/.wine
. If you don't like things cluttering your home directory you can change this with an environment variable:
Put, say, export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wine/prefix/default
in your .bashrc
file.
