Ok I just put a Ubuntu install on a spare laptop and was wondering if anyone has experience running Crome or any other gui honda rom editor on Ubuntu. I could install WINE and see if it will install it like a normal program. Also brings up the fact of trying to use a burn2 on ubuntu as well. Any info would be awesome

Thanks

Install it using wine and test it.
You answered your own question Paco.

I looked into this a while back. The answer I got was that it will work, but logging with it was very laggy being a program running through another program.

So were you using a virtual box or what exactly was your setup?

I never did it. I was going to put ubuntu on my tuning laptop to help speed it up, but logging would be more laggy than running crome with XP on my 15 year old gateway. So I found a super stripped down XP for my laptop and it does alright.

reason i asked is i have just had nothing but problems with crome on windows 7 and i love ubuntu so i installed it rather than windows 7

I'm glad you said that. I was just about to buy a new laptop with windows 7 cause I heard it works. Looks like if I do buy a new one, I will be downgrading to XP

yeah anytime you close the program you have to un install and reinstall the program to a different file folder in order to get your plugins again

well heres the rundown.

Wine will install crome just fine no issues come up

crome starts but doesnt load plugins and cant load a basemap to start.

so thats where i was like hmm ok so where would i go from here.

Xp is the only way it seems. I'm glad I didn't bite the bullet and just buy one when I thought I couldn't fix my old one

You could try with VMware, I never had good luck with Wine other than for Counter Strike....

Vmware is a virtual system like Parallel on MacOSX. You can install the OS you want on any other OS. Windows on linux, Windows on Windows or any combinaison of {Windows, Linux}*

I've use it since 2000 and it's fucking awesome. (it wasnt, but now it is)

Last time I checked it did recognize usb devices that are connected so I don't know why it could't recognize dataloggin or Ostrich.

You can try it for free.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2010, 10:35:52 PM »

i tried ubuntu a couple years ago. it was incredibly fast for a week, after that it was slower than a commodore 64 running windows 7.

MY commodore 64 runs win7 flawlessly. Just run it in compatibility mode for geos in a msdos shell
