WINE 10 release - Chat about Zorin - Zorin Forum

Main Post: WINE 10 release - Chat about Zorin - Zorin Forum

Top Comment: Wine 10 has come out with some improvements for anyone interested. I haven't tried it myself as I end up using Proton or Soda for everything, but given that it won't turn up in Zorin for quite a while, I figured I'd mention it for anyone who wants to try it with something that didn't cooperate ...

Windows 10 Dark Theme for PlayOnLinux Wine users

Main Post:

My system is Lubuntu and my system theme is Windows 10 Dark, which you can download here: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-10-Dark/

Now because "Enable GTK3 Theming" is unavailable in PlayOnLinux, I've created this theme so my PlayOnLinux applications matches my system's Windows 10 Dark theme.

Instructions:

Find user.reg file. Assuming you created a PlayOnLinux virtual drive with the name "user", user.reg should be in ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/user or ~/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/user

Open user.reg in a text editor and find the line that says [Control Panel\\Colors] and add these values and save:

Here is the finished result:

As you can see, 7-Zip and Irfanview now matches with PCManFM File Manager.

Top Comment: Nice! It’s strange that it won’t let you check gtk+3 theming since normal wine lets you do that.

My 10 favorite wine glasses

Main Post:

So after 30 years in the wine and spirits business, these are the ten wine glasses I wouldn’t be without. Prejudices: I like elegant, well balanced glasses, that feel good in the hand AND look good on the table. Glass should be very thin, but not excessively so, you don’t want to feel like you might accidentally crush the bowl in your hand. I much prefer gently curved tulip-like bowls to more angular and ‘modern’ designs. I dislike exaggeratedly long stems for both practical and ergonomic reasons. I'm partial to Riedel Sommeliers, Vinum and Veritas, partly no doubt because I've used them for decades. I dislike most of the newer Riedel ranges, especially the Veloce (too angular), the Black Tie (vulgar) the Fatto a Mano (even more vulgar), the Winewings (transparently Josephinenhütte knockoffs), the High Performance (far too much stem) and the O range (not nearly enough stem).

Hope these notes might be useful if you're looking to add to your glass collection. And would of course love to hear your comments/heartfelt agreement/bitter criticism...

Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru -
Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru -
Living history - these are the grandparents of all current varietal specific glasses. The Riedel Sommeliers range was launched under that name in 1973, but these two models were actually developed by Claus Riedel nearly two decades earlier, in 1958 and 1959. Almost comedically large, but they lend a sense of theatre to a tasting or dinner like absolutely nothing else. The Sommeliers range is not everyone’s cup of tea, and they’re expensive - but because each model is generally priced identically regardless of size, these two enormous glasses - big enough to even serve as decanters if you wish - feel like better value.

Riedel Vinum Riesling/Chianti -
The single best everyday workhorse glass. Elegant, perfectly proportioned and surprisingly robust. Perfect for Riesling, Viognier, Chablis, Muscadet, lighter chardonnays and most other whites, perfect for all Loire whites and reds, perfect for Chianti and most lighter reds, perfect for rosé, very good for dessert wines. Pretty good for champagne, pretty good for fortified wines. Fine for Bordeaux and even at a push Burgundy reds - just pour a much smaller portion than usual - and really surprisingly good for fragile and very old reds. Almost nothing shows badly in these glasses. If I had to own just one wine glass, it would be this one. Even works for water.

Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir -
A truly great glass for top Burgundy and New World Pinot, and equally so for Barolo. The design of the bowl of the Conterno Sensory is perhaps fractionally even better, but while wonderful to hold, I find the Sensory looks top heavy and clumsily-proportioned on the table. The Riedels strike the perfect balance between beauty and function. Recommended by Riedel and others for rosé Champagne too, but I personally find them too big and too broad for this.

Riedel Veritas Oaked Chardonnay -
The more open bowl is noticeably more effective for full-bodied white Burgundy than the narrower-mouthed Pinot glass. The Veritas version of this glass is significantly larger and much finer than the Vinum version, which feels thick and clunky in comparison. Curiously, the Veritas model is also thinner and larger than the Sommeliers Montrachet glass, which has a much heavier stem.

Riedel Veritas Syrah -
A simply gorgeous-looking glass, and a great compromise between beauty and practicality. The Vinum version is the exact same design, cheaper, and only a tiny fraction less elegant. Perfect of course for all Rhone reds, for all Southern French reds, and for New World Syrah, but also most definitely for Bordeaux and New World Cabernet and Merlot (I prefer its more tapered and elegant bowl to the Riedel Vinum and Veritas Bordeaux glasses). A must-have glass and, Burgundy aside, the one I drink most of my best reds from. If I had to own just two wine glasses, it would be this and the Vinum Riesling/Chianti.

Riedel Veritas Champagne -
Buy pretty flutes for serving sparkling wine at parties, cheap enough that you won’t mind a couple getting broken each time. But for drinking top Champagnes at the table (and equally, top Franciacorta and Cava), you need a generous tapered tulip bowl, not a flute, and the Veritas Champagne glass does the job perfectly and with great elegance. Also absolutely excellent for Sauternes and other dessert wines (I prefer these over the Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes glasses).

Josephinenhütte #2 -
I adore the Josephinenhütte range - the most interesting glasses of the ‘post-Riedel’ generation I think. They don’t necessarily photograph well, but in the hand, they’re imo more striking and beautiful than Zalto, and simply wonderful to drink from. Expensive and relatively fragile, so usually saved for tasting/drinking with more knowledgable friends. If I had to choose just two from the range of four, it would be the Universal glass #2, and the Champagne glass #4.

Zalto Gravitas Omega -
I’m not a worshipper at the cult of Zalto, but I wouldn’t be without these. More than just a novelty, their design forces you to pay meticulous attention to the wine and the glass not just when you pour, but each and every time you sip, and then, very, very carefully, replace the glass on the table. Not for everyday or even frequent use, but always a showstopper when you do use them.

Riedel Sommeliers Grüner Veltliner -
A luxury glass that no-one ‘needs’, but I think the most sheerly beautiful glass in the whole Sommeliers range. The green stems are the only colored glass in the standard Sommelier lineup. Perfect it goes without saying for Gru-Ve, but also of course an enhanced experience for any white wine you’d usually drink in a Vinum Riesling glass.

Riedel Sommeliers Stone Fruit Eau de Vie -
OK, an 11th glass, but it’s for eau de vie not wine. The unique ‘chimney’ design is both visually striking and very effective, minimizing alcohol and allowing you to focus on the fruit. A Rochelt apricot eau de vie drunk from this glass is one of the greatest tastes in the whole world of spirits.

Glass care: Don’t hand wash anything, don’t hand polish anything, everything goes into the dishwasher, stacked carefully without touching each other. You need a modern dishwasher with a glass-cycle, and good quality dish-tabs. Nothing will break, and they will all come out spotless and sparkling.

Top Comment: Riedel’s biggest accomplishment is convincing people that owning this many different glasses is remotely necessary

Keep Calm , you can still uninstall and get stable release or distro release .This is the price that some of us must 'pay' for using the lastest wine release ;-)

Top Comment: I think the problem is that now 32 and 64 bit wine will drop the different binary names and be just "wine" as executable for both, a similar issue because of the name change happen to Bottles with Kron4ek Wine-Builds and I fix it by just renaming the file (bottles expects "wine64"), (maybe you could just uninstall the 32 bit package, the 64 one should have all the necessary libs for both)

Call me a sentimental old fool if you like, but I still get a little tingle out of seeing a new WINE update. All those long years when it seemed like the project would never really be useful, but Codeweavers just kept on keeping on. And now we are here.

Debugger Found Error in Wine 10.3 - Unable to Run MT5 on Linux

Main Post:

I'm encountering a persistent "a debugger has been found on your system, unload it from memory and restart your program" error while trying to run MetaTrader 5 using Wine on Arch Linux.

Has anyone faced this before or have any suggestions on how to resolve it? Any help would be appreciated!

update: I used Bottles instead and it works perfectly.

Top Comment: Hi. I had same problem, and after finding solution, I come here to tell you how did I make it. And I am happy to share with you. This is how I made it work : I installed 'bottles' app from flatpak. The flatpak insiste users to install and use bottles through flatpak to run always the apps in sandbox. after installing bottle I run MT5 in bottle without problem. EDIT: the name is bottles and read about it in archwiki here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bottles
