|
|
Hello,
I need a second hand GoPro H2 with a WiFi bacpac but the previous owner lost WiFi password (he didn't used it for a while).
As per the documentation, I need to reset it using GoPro Studio which is unfortunately m$ only.
I installed Wine, installed GPS w/o trouble or error message. But I'm not able to launch it
Any tips ? Or where can I fiend some log message to troubleshoot ?
Thanks
Laurent |

Teegrins, destroyedlolo!
First of all, launch the application via a terminal to see if you get some helpful messages there (one usually does).
As a side-note, often things do not like to work if the working directory is not set, so it's best to 'cd' into where the executable lives, for example (assuming default prefix path):
Code: | $ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Imaginary/
$ wine application.exe |
Often the output from there is enough, but if you are interested or need to learn more advanced techniques, here's a link to the Wine FAQ entry concerning debug traces:
From thereon, one can find their way to even more in-depth guides, but let us start with the basic terminal output. _________________ Kindest of regardses. |

Hum ...
Code: | laurent@PiV ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GoPro/Tools $ wine GoPro\ Studio.exe
The entry point method could not be loaded

As per information I found here, it's may be due to the fact m$-VB runtime is missing ... but I think it's only a configuration problem as I think it has been done by GPS installer, no ? |

I can't really tell anything for certain, but I might guess that requires a dotNet installation (i.e., you may or may not be able to get it to run with Wine mono).
For that, I would recommend using winetricks.
I might also suggest you try running it in a 32-bit prefix, which is likely needed for when you install dotNet. For how to create one, I once wrote a quick guide at our wikki. Though I've been meaning to improve upon it a lot, it should give out the basics. The WineHQ of course contains the info as well, as do many other fair sites.
Here a link to the article I speak of: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wine
From the GoPro website, I discerned that it requires QuickTime as well. You may or may not have much luck with that... (I really can't remember when I tried anything QuickTime related via Wine, but I have a bad feeling about it just from thinking of it.) _________________ Kindest of regardses. |

QuickTime is not mandatory : the installer ask you if you want it to be installed or now.
Now, all in all, I think I will give up : I borrowed an m$ PC form my neighbor and configured my GoPro's WiFi and that was the only thing I needed from this soft.
Thanks anyway for your time. |
