PSD installation on Ubuntu

[RicardoMonteiro]

Hi

I've seen many messages about using psd in linux. I'm trying to use psd in Ubuntu linux using wine, but it doesn't work. Have anybody a guide to help me? I'm starting with linux env and wine.

Tks
Ricardo

You'll need to download Oracle Instant Client and unzip it into your wine directory (~/.wine ?)
Start "wine regedit" and enter a "New String value" in
My compurer-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-System-CurrentControlSet-Control-Session Manager-Environment
Change it's name to ORACLE_HOME and set the value to something like c:\oracle\instanclient. (Of course this should reflect your real installation directory in wine)

As soon as your oracle connections are working, you have to install with something like "wine plsqldev.exe". The icon is usually not working out of the box, so create a shortcut with "wine c:\\plsqldev.exe" and start plsqldev using that icon.
As soon as plsd shows up goto preferences->appearence
and uncheck "faded disabled buttons" and restart plsd. Check now. wether your oracle connections are working (tnsnames.ora issues such as the TNS_ADMIN environment varible settings may arise here)
Of course nothing described here is - by good reasons - supported in any way by Allround Automations and a few things will not work (like macro recording). But I'm using it already for more than a year and - with some exceptions - I don't need to start some vmware box for everyday usage.

Even macro editing seems to work now at a first glance when you add "EDITORMACRO" to your icon's command line. See also:

Hi Dezsoe Kados,

First of all, thank you for your reply.

I think that I'm doing something wrong. I set ORACLE_HOME to /home/ricardo/.wine/instanclient_10_2. I created the icon as you said. When I started psd, the screen of login appeared. I filled it. Then I received an error: Could not locate OCI.DLL file. I have two partitions and in one of them I use Ubuntu.I installed instantclient (for linux) in the directory of wine as you said. Where are my mistakes?

Regards,
Ricardo

You need to install the instant client for the WINDOWS platform in the wine directory! This should solve your problem.

Hi Dezsoe Kados,

Thank you for your help. It's working fine. Only reports didn't work, because uses OLE.

Hi,

Has anyone had plsqldev display issues using wine on linux when using multiple instances of plsqldev. On Windows, I use plsqldev all the time and typically have numerous instances open at the same time connected to different schemas and databases.

I recently switched from winxp to opensuse 11.1 x86-64, installed plsqldev 7.1.5 using wine following tips on wine website. Things work fine until I open more than one instance of plsqldev and then do a few minimize/maximize operations. When I try to maximize an instance of plsqldev by clicking on the panel taskbar, the display gets messed up (its either transparent or resized into this small box with resizing not helping). This is a major issue for me.

Thanks much,
Nick
