Running on Linux/WINE - RPM Poker

COKE_MAN · 05-04-2011, 01:14 PM

Has anybody managed to get this running on Linux or Wine? I am trying to get a couple a friends set up on RPM and they are stuck in Linux land. I am trying all kinds of workarounds, but I am working remote and blind. So, I thought I would check if anyone has managed it here first.

No luck so far. I really would love to get this working in Linux.

none here.. crashes at connecting. native linux clinet PLEASE!

I have so far at least got the client to load, but there is no text. All the images and textboxes are there though. This is in Wine 1.1.42 on Debian Squeeze. I am suspecting that the tahoma font is not installed in the wine windows\fonts directory, so once I get that in there, I'll know. This is a fairly common issue on wine, so fingers crossed.

As far as crashing on load, I had that problem too and it appeared to be that gecko was not installed for wine. Try running: wine iexplore.exe www,google,com and see it that connects. If it stops and asks you for gecko, you can either install it at the prompt or go find a version on your own. Be warned though that if you have ever ran wine as root, you will probably not be able to install gecko here. I had to completely remove wine and then try and find a version of it that would run on squeeze (don't want to try and walk my friends through compiling the latest when I can't see what they are doing

) Anyway, try to get gecko installed and see if you can at least load the client.

Checking the WINE app db, the only Merge skin I could find was for Carbon Poker. The one post is very old, has scant information, and is probably worthless. I couldn't find anything for RPM. If anyone figures out how to get it working, a report there could help others trying to do it.

Another option might be a VM, like virtual-box. Just a thought.

I have run Stars, and occasionally Tilt, for a long time under WINE. Stars has been about 100% for the last year or so. Just over a month ago, coincidentally, I bought a Windows laptop so that I could use a HUD. RPM turned out to be a good safety net after the crack down. Good luck getting it up and running.

Is this the same error everyone is getting?

Code:

I'm starting it up like:

Code:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine/" wine "C:\Program Files\RPMPoker\client.exe"

I'd rather not run windows at all.. i'm currently using the Virtual box method.. I loathe windows.

As do I. The first thing I did with the new lappy was squeeze the Windows partition and set up Arch Linux for dual boot. The only thing I use MS crapware for is poker. I've been running Linux on all my machines for 15 years now. Unfortunately, as you guys are aware of, some things just won't run on it.

yea, i'm going home tonight to put a native windows on a machine so I can multi-table.. 3gb ram just isnt enough for Ubuntu, Windows, HEM, and anything more then 6 ish tables.

uncooper · 01-07-2012, 08:13 PM

Has anyone made any progress with this?

ZomBParadox · 01-09-2012, 07:11 AM

As I'm getting more into programming, and I have 1 Linux laptop now, and will have linux added to my desktop shortly, I'm starting to investigate playing on RPM on Linux as well. It seems the above info will give me a good homework project to work on, along with new TableNinja and TOI programs.
And let's not forget how big the mobile market will be soon!

Maybe I'll have some servicable apps and programs by the time we are legal for interstate/country again.

I have gotten this working as of today as well! finally! Wine 1.4-RC1 Lock poker installs updates plays!

Basic question for those Linux types who run Lock / Carbon / RPM Under Linux / Wine

Can you also run HEM / PT3 under linux, and get it to work with above poker clients?

Seems like it would be very, very tricksy.

has anyone got Carbon Poker to run on linux without a virtual box yet?? if so, please details how??
