Running Wine
« on: September 15, 2009, 06:49:00 PM »

several different wines in mydsl but I have only been able to get one version to run correctly. I don't remember which one it was.

Might want to try to compile this and see if you can build it. This would be a much better way to run windows. It is open sourced and it is suppose to be compatible with all x86 hardware. The xbox has the system requirements on hardware only a 400mg or better processor needed.


http://www.virtualbox.org/


I am going to try to get this running with the openmosix patch on dsl for clustering and the 32/64k patch to support fatx up to 1tb.

openmosix is open sourced too. If these two things could be ported to xbmc we could run 720p or better streamed without upscaling or run as a pc while running xbmc. Each xbox on a network would act as 1 in a scene and each xbox would be able to use the resources of the entire network and have a combined computing power of the network total. We will gain power by swap as well but lose some power due to network latency. Basically you can upgrade easy with this method for a long time before latency will kill you. Every xbox added is going to gain you an additional 733mhz and 64mgs to 128mgs of computing power. You would be able to run any operating system via xbox with no problem. You would be able to do anything you wanted with the xbox it would work just like a super computer.

Virtualbox runs flawless on my shitty pc's. Its only downfall I have seen is it eats the host systems resources up. But if your running it you won't be using the host anyway. This would not matter with the openmosix patch the xbox or pc would be so strong it would run the host or guest at close to native speeds.

wine works good for me on DSL, but i dont use it for anything really.  i tried to run utorrent with it, but utorrent just causes the system to hang after i select which path to save torrents to.  

wine is a little useless on the box, imho.

i downloaded it straight via the DSL file downloader.

There was the answer. Get up and try the 3 different versions on wine in the mydsl. And find which one works. We are not here to hold your hand or do it for you. I already told you what you needed to know. Figure it out. But my guess is that was not easy enough for you to do. But wine is useless as already stated on the xbox. It runs very little and does so buggy. Thats why I made the suggestion to try virtualbox. Any linux on xbox is going to take time and effort this is not windows so if you don't want to put in the effort then you are better off sticking to windows on the pc. We work off of the 2.4 kernel which is dead to most the linux world.


Plus if you searched the forum the answer is in a post. I know that for certain because I was involved in it. I also know the writer of the latest builds of xdsl spoke about it a number of times in different posts. So it is listed more than once in this forum. This is not a support forum so there is no reason to act shitty because noone will spoon feed you your answers. Nobody hardly answers questions in this forum anymore because most relevant questions have been answered. They just require you to search for them. This is how I learned.

Google and search engine are your friends if you use them you get the answers much quicker than posting 9 times out of 10.

Before you lie and say you searched I found this on the forum search tool in 30 seconds under the second heading using (wine xdsl) as search words.

There is your spoon fed answer.

Spoon fed answer? You are wasting your time writing all of this. I can get wine to load, thats apparent, I'm talking about the text, when loading a wine program..
