I've been trying to run a windows program with wine using optirun.
However when i do:
sudo optirun wine PROGRAM_NAME.exe
I get the following output:
wine:/home/USERNAME/.wine is not owned by you
Why won't it run?
Thank you.
The sudo
is causing it to run as root
, not as fawkes5
. Instead run optirun wine PROGRAM_NAME.exe
. If you need sudo
to run optirun
then follow this guide to give yourself permission to run it without sudo. Specifically you should run:
$ sudo groupadd bumblebee
$ sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USER
then log out and back in.
If you still cant get it to run, I have run it fine using crossover. The free trial is available in Software Center or you can buy it from codeweavers.com Please note: Bumblebee is NOT officially supported by codeweavers, but IT does run!
