Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2003 11:43 am Post subject: How to run KazaaLite 2.1b3 kpp edition! |
|
|
Here is how I got it working with some help from the wine app db...
1. emerge wine, set it's version to Win98, and configure your drives...
2. Unzip this file into your Windows/System/ directory. http://web.bvu.edu/students/murrant/system_dlls.zip
2. Download newest version of klite from http://kazaalite.tk.
4. Install K++ 2.10 by entering command "wine klitekpp210b3e.exe". Do not use the user configuration tool, it crashes (use the config in kazaa).
5. Add the following lines to ~/.wine/config
Code: | [AppDefaults\\KazaaLite.kpp\\DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin, native, so"
;"shdoclc" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shlwapi" = "native"
"commctrl" = "native"
;"comdlg32" = "native" |
6. Unzip this into the kazaa install directory http://web.bvu.edu/students/murrant/kazaa_dlls.zip
7. Now you should be able to run K++ by entering command "wine kpp.exe".
If you get crashes, try uncommenting some of the dll overides...
Some people have gotten this error.
Code: | Usage:
kpp.exe <filename> [command_line]
filename = (Required) name/pathof file to load
[command_line] = (Optional) Command line to pass to <filename> |
If you get this error when trying to run kpp, run "wine kpp.exe KazaaLite.kpp" once to fix it.

Yeh, this latest realease of Wine (which also works great on glibc 2.3.2) has definetly made it much easier to run Wine. I used the instructions above, with a few more native DLLs and it works perfectly, even has anti-aliased truetype fonts =) |

WHOA.
I thought I'd never see the day that Kazaa Lite would run in Wine without a native install. Sure, DLLs are cheating a bit, but... it's Kazaa Lite! WHOOPEE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Is it slow as all hell for the rest of you guys? It takes like 3 seconds to draw the screen for me... it's like I'm running it in VNC on a slow connection.

It seems wine-04112003 is in general a lot slower than 03182003. Anybody notice the same thing? I'm using the same wine .config file.

OMG, it works, I have been having problems with this ever since I switched to gentoo. BTW, this seems to work best for me using 1.7.2 Code: | [AppDefaults\\Kazaa.exe\\DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin, native, so"
"commctrl" = "native"
"shdoclc" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shlwapi" = "native"
"ole32" = "native"
"oleaut32" = "native"
;"comdlg32" = "native"
"comctl32" = "native" | Not really sure if the ole ones are nessessary, but the commctl32 really helps some graphical problems. |

Heh heh... sweet... too bad IE6 SP1 wouldn't install... something about a privileged instruction in 16-bit code. Oh, well. |

|
|
For me, the graphics of the buttons at the top are a bit fscked, but that doesn't matter. What does though is that all downloads fail - instantly.
I thought it might be a NAT firewall issue, no- it works from my mums windows machine....
I thought it might be an ICMP issue, no - it still fails as root.
As soon as i press download, by the time I look in transfers it says failed. And if I do 'more sources' it goes throught the motions of searching, then every user's download thing goes "Connecting....." then "Failed"
poo.

Weird... I'm finding things and downloading them just fine... try doing something extremely popular like pr0n vids to make sure there really are sources.

Hmm... well, I trade one program for another: while K-Lite now works, when I run WinMX, it says "Command Failed". This is a WinMX error, not a Wine error. WinMX runs fine, but cannot connect. I added
[AppDefaults\\WinMX.exe\\DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin"
to my wine config, but no luck. |

It works! Thanks for this incredible howto.
Just a question:
This is my first attempt at wine...does wine really use that much CPU power? My Athlon-XP 1900 is pegged at >65% (according to gkrellm). I also have to agree that it is slow to redraw the screen whenever you move/resize Kazaa.
Anyway I can't complain. At least it works. |

20020318 was much faster than the latest build... and K-Lite 2.x is known to take huge amounts of CPU power in Wine, anyway. |

Nice!!! This is truley great I was getting annoyed at Limewire. I have a dislike for most non internet Java apps.
Just copied all my fonts from a WinXP install over to wine's font directory and it made them all nice and pretty
Just wondering, could those be copied over to one of linux's font directories and used?
The only problem with this is that the pictures at the top bar seem to be misplaced, half of the previous buttons image is in the next one, and they're all like that until you click one, then only that one is fixed. Oh well, just a minor annoyance |

Sure... I made a /usr/winfonts directory, copied all my Win2K fonts there, and then added it as a font dir in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Run fc-cache as root, and you're all set.
Note, you still have to put them in Wine's font folder for them to work in Wine. |

Well, the icons are messed up and I have managed to crash the gui...
CPU utilization is very high, unless you minimize it to the system tray, then it is very low.
Also it has never crashed, when I am not fiddling with it...
So I just start it up find the files I want. then hit the "x" which minimizes it to the system tray.
Also SpeedUp does work, but it's tray icon does not. If you need to change settings look in you system.reg file... |

For the graphics screw up, add ""commcrtl" = "native"" to the config like I posted earlier (make sure to put commctrl.dll in ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System) and that should take care of it.
As for the failing thing, I don't think it's a firewall issue, because you are able to connect to the network, and at least connect to the other user. I would try checking the permissions on the share directory. Make sure it is writeable by you. |

yeah my buttons are messed up in both GetRight and Kazaa with wine...getright looks fine in winex though...guess its just something they broke...
btw, what are you all talking about Kazaa not working in linux? it has worked under wine for 2 years. its just the kpp version that didnt work.. but kazaa lite has always worked. |

Yeah, I meant the KPP builds.
And if you want kliteconfig to run, you need to get msvbvm60.dll from http://www.drd.dyndns.org/index2.html and put it into your windows\system dir. kliteconfig then works with slight graphical glitches, and crashes on exit. |
