[SOLVED] Linux mint isn't detected as ubuntu?

[Fred]

PengytheDuckwin,

I have never worked with this kernel so I have no clue about the problems you might encounter, though I am pretty sure there will be some. More to your question, it shouldn't be too difficult to just modify the script to accept Mint as Ubuntu.

(PS. Please don't say "just install wine from repos" unless you KNOW it'll work with the UnifiedKernel)

No, I wouldn't say that..
--the purpose of that kernel/project is to allow a windows user to keep using windows software while providing a Linux compatible kernel to do so..

It might work, but if it was that easy, presumably the developers of the LUK, would have been able to enable that option or provide some advice on how to do it..

• The Linux Unified Kernel is a free, open-source computer operating system kernel project intended to expand the Linux Kernel to be binary-compatible with application software and device drivers not only made for Microsoft Windows but also made for Linux OS. This will enable the Windows application running on the Linux operating system highly effectively.
  Through the Linux Unified Kernel, we hoped the one who habituates to use Windows OS can continue their operation customs on Linux OS, so that third party software user purchased could be unconcerned with the platform of operating system.

--Their next kernel release using 2.6.30 is expected on 25Aug2009

• Linux Unified Kernel(Longene) 0.2.4-1 will be released on 25th August, 2009. The kernel attached in Longene is updated to 2.6.30 which provides dozens of new features, such as EXT4 file system.

Or should I just put it off until things are less "experimental" with the UK.

Well, you could wait for their next release, this week approximately they say; that is 25Aug2009, which would use Linux kernel 2.6.30; probably getting a little better performance..

As to how they assemble their system LUK; I don't know and don't expect them to ever explain their process..

It's a really simple fix, just run this is a terminal:

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Ubuntu\*9\.04/s/Ubuntu\*9\.04/LinuxMint\ 7/'   path/to/install-wine-deps.sh
