Trouble loading Windows Drivers into Ubuntu Old Fri Mar 11, 2011 10:36:14 AM #150282 Perm Link
The auto-run feature is not working when I try and install my drivers for my new camera. Ubuntu sees the CD but neither Archive Manager or Document Viewer can open files or folders on the disk. I am trying to learn Shotwell but it is not as simple or maybe I'm complicating the instructions from their web-site. I would like to install the Olympus Drivers and program though. Are there any App's or work-around's for this??

You can try a Windows program through WINE, but drivers and such made for Windows generally won't work in Linux.

That's not always the case as there are some wrapper libraries that allow this for things such as wireless cards.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Thx Aron; yea I got some good advise why not to trouble with Wine via Launch pad; so I dwnlded and installed "digiKam" via Ubuntu. Looks like a lot more options and features than shotwell but is only supported through April 2012 at this time. Thanks again, I misspoke I should have said the software that came with the camera.
