Help With WIne

Hey so I was trying to install a wine program to customize my mouse and keyboard functionality for a few editing programs to make everything go a lot smoother and It needs windows or mac program to run. The wine was preinstalled but when I tried to run the setup for the keyboard program it said I needed net framework 4 installed. So I tried to download the framework from the Microsoft net site and I got to the last step and it said I have broken packages and it cant be installed

Hi

sorry the late reply. I would like you to refer to the WineHQ forum for further checking.

Hi

as an alternative to Wine failure you might try Oracle Virtual Box

Code:

So with this I would install the Mono and then use that as the net framwork?

Having some issues with installing Mono now. Here is what the terminal output.

Code:

maxthespy@Maxwell-Zorin:~$ sudo apt install mono-devel

What am I doing wrong here?

What functionality are you trying to achieve? Dedicated keyboard functions such as multimedia etc? When I had Sabayon installed on another machine using Solar Powered Logitech Keyboard there was a package that actually mapped a lot of keys. If you are running Core you might like to install the gnome extension within Gnome-Tweak-Tool?

Please refer to the unofficial Manual that I created for more details.

Well I Am mostly trying to run my mouse and keyboard settings as well as run MetaX for movie metadata because I have a huge movie collection that is ever growing and that is the best program that I have found to do it. I couldnt find a good linux alternative for it yet. Let me know if you know of one. Either way I cant get wine to work.

Have you considered Kodi? Can't remember if it is included in Core or standard Lite versions of Zorin but I would have used that as my first choice.

OK, think I have wandered off topic - this is probably your best solution: WinFF - it is in the repositories.

On another thread elswhere someone suggested Kid3 - which is mainly for Audio Metadata editing and embedding images.

Other possibilities are Handbrake?
