I tried launching FML Live and it opens perfectly. I've found a few<br>
ways to open it. First is to download the "setup.exe" from the<br>
website. This worked first try and began downloading the game. The<br>
download took about 10 minutes to complete. (17.6M)<br>
<br>
Second was to download and extract "fml_full_win32.zip", which has its<br>
own "fml_launcher.exe". The launcher seems to do the same thing as the<br>
"setup.exe" by connecting to the Internet and downloading the latest<br>
version.<br>
<br>
Third was running "fml.exe" in the "data/bin/app_2959/" of the<br>
extracted archive. My wine install is not vanilla so results may<br>
vary, however, I noticed that the launcher -- as you stated -- isn't<br>
verbose as to what it is doing. In fact, the launcher doesn't have<br>
ANY output to the wine console. On the contrary, the "fml.exe" was<br>
verbose! Here's my output:<br>
<br>
> tfino@crap:~$ wine '/home/tfino/Desktop/fml/Football Manager Live/data/bin/app_2959/fml.exe'<br>
> fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet<br>
> fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x13dd78,0x13e7d8): stub<br>
<br>
> err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unabled to retrieve URL from string L"\""<br>
> err:winebrowser:wmain Usage: winebrowser URL</blockquote><div><br>hey! It works for me too, with fml.exe, downloading the full client (under my Debian Sid). My output is the next:<br><br>fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet<br>
fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x1321c8,0x132960): stub<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
The "get_url" message in the above console log seems to be in regards<br>
to the "Sign Up" button, which appears to be broken. It depresses,<br>
but doesn't do anything else. I did not sign up for an account so I<br>
cannot confirm functionality. Since the client updates itself, I will<br>
rule out connection issues on my platform.<br>
<br>
Note also that when launching from the "fml.exe" it takes a few<br>
minutes to load and appears unresponsive at first. This seems normal.<br>
What version of the Ubuntu cd did you try? What type of Internet<br>
connection do you have? Please post your success with this method.</blockquote><div><br>Ubuntu 8.10 x86. I have a dsl router, a cisco router (877W), and connected to the router, an access point, it offers dhcp to my client. I tried direct connect using cable, from my laptop to the dsl router, and it doesn't work (using fml_launcher.exe).<br>
I will try ubunt 8.10 again with wine 1.1.12, I will comment with it later.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64. Wine 1.1.12, Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic.<br>
<br>
This application actually works amazingly in Wine for me. I hope my<br>
test helps you out Oliver. If this information is helpful to someone,<br>
please copy it to the AppDB page for FML.<br>
