quezak Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 As the FAQ says, µTorrent works very well on Linux under wine. Or at least 1.8.2 does. When I open the 1.8.5, it normally installs, but after clicking the "Finish" button nothing happens. µTorrent's process is listed as "sleeping" and nothing appears on the screen. When I kill the process and start µTorrent, it shows the installation again. Any clues how to make the new version work?(I'm using wine 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Upgrade to Wine 1.1.33.http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.1.33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quezak Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Just updated to wine 1.1.33, but same problem occurs. The only difference I saw is that when running uT second time, the installation was in Polish (on first run, and on wine 1.0.1, installation was always downloading Polish translation but was in English). I also must correct one thing - the installation window disappears after clicking the "Install" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Installer was no good in 1.8.4 and it seems 1.8.5 as well, use /noinstall switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donach Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm having the same problem trying to run utorrent under wine. What does "use /noinstall switch." mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quezak Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 it means, that you should type in console:wine utorrent.exe /noinstallwith this option the command starts utorrent bypassing the installation, works perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donach Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I've typed that into terminal & it says wine: cannot find 'utorrent.exe/noinstall' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 put a space after the .exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 is your "pwd" the same as your utorrent.exe location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donach Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 the directory the terminals working in is donach@donach-laptop. The utorrent.exe downloaded from the internet to the desktop. I've never used wine before, in fact I'm still a linux newbie. what should i change the directory to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 you either change to the directory your utorrent exe is in or you specify the full path in your command line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donach Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 so is that the desktop? or is it where wine has put it, and if so where would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quezak Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 when the console says "donach@donach-laptop:~$" it means that you are in ~, wchich means your home directory, which means /home/donach. Basic commans are: ls - list the current directory, pwd - print current path, cd - change directory ("cd .." means go one directory up). So if you downloaded utorrent.exe to the desktop, you should probably write "cd Desktop" or something like that (it depends on the linux distribution, remember that names are case sensitive). When you are in the directory with utorrent.exe, type the command I wrote in previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donach Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 thanks, thats worked, i might move it to the home directory just to miss out the change directory step each time, but that 1 less reason to ever boot into windows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
