Where's Wine?

[marshcaptain]

I got rid of Wine because it was going sketchy and now I need it again to use software but after installing it the menu icon has gone. Where is it!? I can use the Windows Launcher to install exe files but no way am I going to open up any programs. Picture links bellow. UNR if you need to know.

Help please and a big thanks.

Not sure how to add/edit menu entries, though someone here may know. As it is a Gnome/gtk thing (as opposed to Kubuntu's KDE), knowledge here on UNR may be a little on the sparse side.

Yeah...the Ubuntu forums is buggy and loads slowly. This is the only place where my posts would get answered. Any help will do.

As claydoh says, more a Gnome thing...

Re: Where's Wine?

no idea about the automatic menus, but renaming .wine folder in your home directory could be an approach ... maybe this will initialize wine and cause it to create menu entries again, at next boot (but it means you have to install all your windows software again)

as a workaround, can manually start WINE programs with command
wine [FullProgramPath]
(most of the programs will be typically stored under .wine/drive_c/Program Files)

once you managed to run the .exe from the command line, you can add a menu entry using the default KDE menu editor
