So new kernel out. With all the problem that can give. I have refrained from installing it during the week as I did not want to much interruption during normal workdays. But now on a Sunday I feel i can afford the time to do it.

So first of all i start installing the updates and the kernel. I’m a bit chicken and not going to install wine yet.

The upgrade works as it should. Still no built in support for the network cards so I have to compile and install that module again. Not a big deal.

And then i have to install/configure vmware modules also. Still not a big problem. And now all things is working as it should. Sort of.

Testing palm

Next step is to se if the new kernel has solved the problem with my palm – and guess what – it has not. Dam. But not a big deal as I can use the palm xfer programs to get my work done and its working – even if its a bit cumbersome.

So onto the big issue – Wine

Installing wine 1.1.12

When wine 1.1.10 came out I started to get some problem. The EVE online game had problems when starting or when warping into some new area. I could get it to work better is I remembers to not do anything, not move the mouse, pan or zoom or anything when warping in but its hard to remember this all time.

So I backed down to the 1.1.9 version that worked perfectly for me. But its kind of annoying to always have that reminder that there is new things to install all the time.

So this week the 1.1.12 version came out so I decided to test that.

Removed the lock on the install and let the system upgare wine. And the the big test – startup eve and run and test it.

And I can gladly now report that it works like a charm.
