Ubuntu – Turn off wine debugging

11.10wine

How do I make wine not showing any debug messages the default setting? I've found WINEDEBUG=-all wine ./program.exe as a way to turn off debug for the program I'm currently running, but how do I make it the default for everything?

WINEDEBUG is an environment variable that is set for only for the invocation of wine.

What you need to do is make the environment variable permanent, which you can do in your ~/.bashrc.

Open it in your favourite editor and add to the bottom:

export WINEDEBUG=-all

The next new Terminal you open will trigger that setting and wine ./program.exe should inherit it.

Since .bashrc is just a series of shell commands that are run when a Terminal is started, you can just type the same thing into a Terminal as well; but then it will be lost when you close that Terminal.

Ubuntu – Unable to uninstall Wine apps

Wine apps often leave a lot of junk, for example, menu items over .doc files after installing Microsoft Office. To remove it, you have to:

rm .local/share/applications/wine-extension-*

To remove menu entries you have to edit:

usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

And, right click on file you want to remove bad menu entries from, and choose Properties. On the 4th tab you can delete unnecessary entries.

Ubuntu – Kindle for PC via Wine

Ignore those old tutorials; the latest Wine beta works perfectly with Kindle for PC.

Try adding the development repository to your sources and upgrading to 1.3.7. In a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.3

Then download and run the latest version of Kindle for PC. (you don't need to set it to Windows 98 mode)
