Disable wine integration

Question

I installed winamp 5.6 under wine in ubuntu. Now I have a winamp icon in the desktop, winamp menu entries under the wine menu in the "Application" menu, but worse of all: in nautilus some files (*.mp3 files) are associated with winamp.

This seems to be because ubuntu is trying to "better integrate wine". Here are some specs which all seem to be outdated:

• https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterIntegratedWineSpec
• https://wiki.ubuntu.com/karmic-wine-integration
• https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WineIntegration
• https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BestIntegratedWine

How can I disable this integration?

• File associations should never be set outside of wine.
• Menu entries should never be created outside of wine.
• Icons should never be created outside of wine.
• Basically what goes in wine should stay in wine.

Using ubuntu lucid.

Answer 1

My guess is that you would need to remove (purge) wine from the ubuntu repositories and download wine from winehq

You could try the ubuntu-wine ppa

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

See How to correctly remove items from Wine Programs menu?

For your other items, you would need to file a bug report against wine on launchpad.
