Hello Sam, for a virtual machine you need to have a windows copy, install it, could be you have to install drivers, like for a printer. Wine I just start and it works, usually 🙂. Even if David can't resolve this error there is a workaround, paste de driver again, problem solved. Less work and easier to work with because everything else stays the same, like an excel sheet and/or a drawing program at the side......
Maybe you have tried that already, but setting correct locale solves most problems with hornresp and wine - at least it did for me, I have never had issues that I see here - but last time I tried was over a year ago.
No I didn't if you mean to put them as the USA regional settings because I can not have more things open like excel or my drawing program because the , changes into an .
I put that into an sh script that sets it just for running Hornresp with Wine: LC_ALL="c" wine start 'C:\Hornresp\hornresp.exe'
I googled that somewhere long time ago - I do not even remember why it is like that but it works.

I have been using Linux for more them 4 years now, and I set my system locale for Portuguese that also use commas (,) but hornresp working only with dot (.)
In the past I had a small issue with wine/hornresp changing some variable names back to a recorded file, it was need for me to double click in the variable until back to the correct names.
I can try to help doing test also if needed. Long time here not running simulations
I use the version: Manjaro Plasma Stable.
pelanj a script, interesting, let's start google! Thanks for the tip! Lordsansui, great stuff you are doing with the website with the free plans! I know the Brazilian system, (casado com uma Bahiana) and yes it did cause problems years ago but I thought it was solved by David? That's what I do know to solve the PH system not changing, double click but the driver data changing is new to me or I never noticed before, could be. I can only solve that by pasting the driver form the database. If you want to simulate get the record and try. I'm using KDE plasma by the way, Manjaro is great also.
Good choice. Minas Gerais here.
Linux for me currently has just two viable options: Manjaro or OpenSUSE tumbleweed (Waiting for Slowroll release), I can't live without BTRFS and snapshot installed by default.
It's to see some people liking the tool and it integrates very well with hornresp.
Thank you 😉
1 of the good thing with Linux, lots of different distributions, something for everybody.
pelanj and David, what the script does is changing the regional settings, I don't want that but to my surprise it does solve the problem with the driver data changing while saving. So David, the regional settings are the problem, maybe you should do something like the late Chris Strahm did with Leap and LMS? You had to change the regional settings to the US or the program wouldn't start..
I think it is LC_ALL="c" wine C:\Hornresp\hornresp.exe (without the start)
It works because LC_ALL=c (quotes not needed) sets the local just for the application which is executed on that line. It does not change anything in your system. You don't even need a script you just have to remember it.
Other options you might want try LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8. My system is fully en_US.UTF-8, but I won't recommend that for Europeans as I have a hell of a time to get decent ISO dates in about every other application.
If you get an error message you might have to install the locale: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
It's actually variable values, not variable names, that are being incorrectly interpreted by Wine/Linux (which seemingly cannot distinguish between upper and lower case characters). For example, the single-character value highlighted in red in the screenprint below should be 'A' not 'a'.
If you are using 'Netherlands' as your location then to avoid potential problems with Wine/Linux changing values you should use a comma (,) as the decimal separator, rather than a period (.)
The reason the difference occurred is because I used the supplied test record, which contained data previously corrupted by Wine/Linux. This means that the discrepancy is indeed due to yet another Windows - Wine incompatibility problem.
If things are working correctly the results should be identical.
Thanks for the explanation. I did not know what it really did, I copied that command from somewhere and it worked🙂
Hi David, yes that seems to be the only way, pity because it is annoying not being able to use the . on my numeric pad... Thanks and looking forward to the workaround solving the PH records in wine.
Hi jinkels, thanks for the explanation and the example although I have to ad the ' to make it work, like this: LC_ALL="c" wine 'C:\Hornresp\hornresp.exe' Nice that I can use other programs at the same time without the comma not working. A small annoyance is typing values in Hornresp but OK, a small price to pay 😉!
My bad. The quotes around the "c" are not needed. And yes, single quotes around 'C:\Hornresp\hornresp.exe' are mandatory. I use the entire path /home/jlinkels/.wine/drive_c/Hornresp/hornresp.exe. which allowed without quotes. Nevertheless I was wrong.
If it is possible for you to use the following settings then pressing the . key on the numeric pad will enter a comma rather than a period.
Format - Dutch (Netherlands)
Location - Netherlands
Keyboard - Dutch (Netherlands) - United States-International
I wouldn't call it wrong, you forgot a small detail! Looking at what pelanj wrote and your post and combining them helped me a lot, thanks guys!
Thanks David, I didn't look but probably in windows this will work. Having a US international keyboard layout I have to ad in Linux in the keyboard configuration options: Legacy key with comma to make it work, if I don't do that it will be a point, US layout. That's why I'm happy with jlinkels and pelanj help, I only have to pay attention in Hornresp now.
Any way to get this sim to show the particle velocity at the vent rather than at the driver?
