Does anyone know if FTM 2010 will work under Wine , if so I may ditch windows as that is all that stops me currently from !linux
-
@carlplage: there are other geneaology programs out there you know... winehq says it doesn't though
-
@carlplage: I know, all those extra things that aren't part of the standard means you can't switch programs without loosing half your data..
-
@xoke Yes there are but very few have all the features that I use in FTM, that is why I still use it. Gramps is the closest but no cigar
-
@xoke exactly have used ftm over the years and converted my data as its grown and upgraded FTM
-
@xoke I was pretty sure that Wine didn't support it, didn't when I got it in February as tried then shame really because FTM= no linux :(
-
@carlplage A little research suggests it may well work under CrossOver, but that'd cost money, just to run something you already paid for.
-
@carlplage: virtualbox maybe?
-
@psquid Not prepared to spend out more money for a chance of running, might look more at gramps and see what I would lose in conversion
-
@carlplage: the wife is the same way though. It's vendor lock-in and it sucks :(
-
@xoke laptop too slow for virtualbox
-
@xoke it's the only program now that keeps me on windows and I'm not committed to any company to stay with them that much LOL
-
@ikaruga2099: Not ANY app! I Still can't play Oblivion in Virtualbox! !ubuntu !virtualbox
-
@penquincoder Really why not? CPU not fast enough? No 3D acceleration?
-
@ikaruga2099: CPU is fast enough, and 3D Accel is on in VirtualBox. Getting 'NiXAdapaterDesc::GetDeviceCaps() Failed' error when launching.
-
@penquincoder Umm. U sure the problem is #virtualbox? Quick google search says Obvolivion/drivers r 2 blame. Ex: http://tinyurl.com/3yk9xmv
-
@ikaruga2099: Thanks for the advice, but I've updated Host and Guest drivers, windows updates for guest, and numerous guides. Same error
