(The installation will make a desktop icon as well as an.ink file on your desktop, I ended up burying that. (Your call, but I went back into the lightroom54 prefix in POL and selected configure wine, then graphics tab, and made sure to uncheck "run as windows emulator", that way Lightroom opens as a window in your Linux desktop, instead of pasted on wine's emulator mock desktop of windows)ġ2. do all those things and enjoy Lightroom 5.7 in wine 1.7.11ġ1. Once all of the necessary items for the virtual Lightroom54 profile are complete, it will open the program and start your license and registration process. (i figured later that perhaps my POL was not updated to the latest version, hence my errors)ġ0. (I was experimenting, but found POL doesn't need all of the codecs POL was insisting on.) It will continue to install codec files individually it thinks it needs.
If you get errors "try again" after 5 or six failed attempts esp. POL will install IE6 and the codec files it needs, just run through installation and accept all and click next when prompted in wine.ĩ. It will install Gecko and Mono, and the versions it knows works in 1.7.11 with the patch file for Lightroom.Ĩ. once the 1.7.11 version is installed, POL will continue the installation of items it needs and its automatic unless you incur errors, as I did later. POL will automatically download wine 1.7.11 to the list of wine installations (i had a wine 1.5.x for a game already in the list, you are merely adding a wine version POL thinks is best to run Lightroom from the patch file in POL Patches)ħ. exe file (I was on 32 bit, i chose the setup32.exe file from my dvd in drive, or where ever you stored your setup file folder, navigate there in POL, if your 64 bit chose that setup64.exe)Ħ. install the patch, it will ask for the location of the. Search "Lightroom" (Adobe lightroom 5.4 patch shows up as the only one in pol list)ĥ. One last ditch effort: Play On Linux (relies on wine and winehq)Ĥ. Adobe Photoshop cs6 installs like a dream on wine without winetricks modification in Quiana. (After all, the photo project requires to upload to picassa as it is and Adobe wants $15 for the plugin but its free on Darktable.) Go figure, two days pulling my hair out and I should have gone with the open source less tools packed program to begin with.
I was just about to give up and install Darktable. (Never got to the serial# entry screen!) After doing the compiling for wine 1.7.33 after a wine update to 1.7.34, the patches on Bugzilla I dl-ed and compiled into wine 1.7.34 came back at me with numerous failures and errors. I still received the Kernel32.dll failure and Lightroom would crash wine. Every time I re-installed 5.7 into wine after installing gecko and mono then doing the winetricks switch to winxp and installing windowscodecs, gdiplus,etc. I tried the recipes in Bugzilla that were mostly for lightroom 5.3 and 5.5. My main desktop elsewhere runs lightroom 5.7 fine being that its windows 7 ultimate. Spending the last 2 days of downtime hours at home on my Linux mint 17 mate (Quiana) laptop (Dell, bios wont update hence windows 7 won't install, refuse to use Vista, sticking with Linux only, on it.) A looming project is hovering over me of a massive photo scan quick edit and upload to picassa for a client.
