I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Wine 1.7.51. I installed Adobe Photoshop CS and whenever I try to run Photoshop it gets to "initializing tools" and then freezes and I have to do the xkill command to close. Frustrated, I tried installing Adobe Photoshop CS2 and the exact same issue came up: I launch the program, it gets to "initializing tools" and then freezes and crashes.
I tried following these instructions and they don't work. So I uninstalled and tried these instructions and it didn't work either.
The only thing I can think of is that Photoshop simply doesn't work with Wine 1.7.51, but I don't know. It's really frustrating following these instructions to the letter and watching it work for everyone except me.
If no one can solve this issue I think I'm going to install Windows 7 and Photoshop on an external HD, but before I do I thought I'd take one last crack at this. I must have wasted over 12 hours in the past few weeks trying to get photoshop to run on ubuntu.
