August 15, 2012 at 11:55 pm #978Has anyone had any luck running Common Grounds using WINE? or the Mono runtime?

I have a box set up, but have never thought to test it. A couple of people have told me they were able to run it in ‘wine’.
Will see for myself and report my findings.

– Installed Wine 1.4
– Right-clicked CommonGroundsSetup.exe, selected ‘load with wine’ (something like that), if you don’t, it will think the exe is an archive and not do anything
– Do not select ‘run Common Grounds when finished’, as it will fail to load files.
– Find the application called something like ‘browse folders in wine’, the icon looks like a folder with a wine glass on the lower right-hand side
– locate Common Grounds’ exe (program-files -> fupoco -> etc) and *RIGHT-CLICK* again to ‘open with wine’.
– It runs, but very slowly. I was using a Pentium 4 3GHz with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Maybe the memory was under-par, as it was skipping the ‘now loading’ screens, struggling.
Hope that helps 🙂
