Description Kristoffer Grundström 2012-06-07 11:00:23 CEST

Description of problem: I wanted to try Spotify using wine64 & I therefor downloaded the latest exe-file & tried to run it. Then I saw a popup-window telling me that I need to run the installation as normal user instead of as administrator. The thing is, I DIDN'T run this file as an administrator.

Here's the output from terminal-window:

[kristoffer@localhost Skrivbord]$ wine Spotify\ Installer.exe
Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.
http://www.freetype.org
fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken QueryInformationToken( ..., TokenElevationType, ...) semi-stub

I HAVE installed the devel-package for freetype after that, but still the same issue.

I'm not using any Testing-medias.

Kernel-version is: 3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2

I ran chmod a+x Spotify\ Installer.exe and then I ran chown kristoffer Spotify\ Installer.exe, but still the same problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4

How reproducible: Everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install wine64.
2. Open Firefox and visit spotify.com.
3. Download the exe-file.
4. Run the exe-file.
5. Voila! An error-window pops up telling you to install Spotify using a normal user-account.

Still see this.

[kristoffer@localhost Skrivbord]$ wine Spotify\ Installer.exe

rpm -qa | grep freetype ?

I found a temporary solution to this issue.

When you get the popup that tells you to run it as a normal user even if you do, don't try as root. Instead go to ~/ & delete the hidden dir named .wine & then rerun the installer as normal user again.

At least that worked for me.

Closing this as RESOLVED FIXED.

Should you still experience further issues running the installer, please feel free to reopen this bug with new info.
