> As in my example I have some machines with Linux, how to use MLO? I'm running MLO through wine on my Linux Mint 13 (based on ubuntu 12) machine and it runs AWESOME. Everything I've tried so far works, seamlessly and fast, just like on my Windows machine, and looks great. It was easy to install too.
Based on this link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8236, I chose to install the latest wine (1.5.16). Also, note the above link refers to MLO version "3.6.2.1625-beta7", but I'm using MLO 3.6.2 which I downloaded from http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/index.htm. Here are the steps I used: a) Installed the latest wine from their repository, following guidelines from here: http://www.ivegotavirus.com/how-to-fix-wine-in-linux-mint-13-maya/ (see also https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa as a reference). i. add their repository. Software Manager > tab "Other software" > Add... deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu precise main ii. sudo apt-get update iii. sudo apt-get install wine1.5 <-- actually I ran "wine" throught the GUI interface instead, but this should work. b) No need to run wineconfig (Wine > Configure Wine), but I ran it since I needed to use the Storage tab to set up an external drive. I did not need to change any of the default settings. I did not need to run winetricks either. It all just runs out of the box. c) Download MLO version 3.6.2 which I downloaded from http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/index.htm. This is important. There was a specific fix for a bug in 3.6.1 that affected wine. I downloaded the setup.exe file to my external drive, but you probably will want to use the "c:" drive, by default located at "/home/yourusername/.wine/dosdevices/c:" (Start > Wine > Browse C: Drive ). Make sure the setup.exe file is executable (chmod +x or right-click file > Properties > Permissions ... check "Allow executing file as program"). Right-click on it and select "Open with ... Wine Windows Program Loader". Alternatively, you probably can do something on the command line such as "wine mlo-setup-file ", but I did not to that. Warning: If you are going to do that, I had read plenty of warnings to not install wine as root. So even though sudo runs a command as you, though w/root privileges, I suspect you do not want to install it using sudo. But I'm not sure about that. You may need root privileges to run it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if, after opening setup.exe through the GUI by right-clicking as I described above, it asked me for the root password. That's it. There's now an MLO icon on my desktop and I just double-click that. A big THANK YOU to the developers for making this work. Prior to version 3.6.2 I was running MLO on my linux machine using VirtualBox, which also ran great, but it was just a little bit more cumbersome than having it run under wine. So far, I have not found a single problem, though I'm not trying to exhaustively test the application. I'm just using the features I need and so far, perfect.
