I have installed Ubuntu Feisty.

I have installed the latest Wine (wine-0.9.36).

I have installed the latest MikroTik WinBox (WinBox Loader v2.2.11).

When I run WinBox with Wine, the dialog box open, but as soon as I connect to any MikroTik RouterOS PC, it freezes, and I am forced to quit the application.

What gives? Anybody?

Thanks.

I ran into this same problem on opensuse. I noticed that when I connected to certain version of MT it would freeze. I know version 2.9.42 works, and 2.9.27 does not. Maybe all of the newer versions work, but I have not had time to test this.

Dan.

If you are using latest wine, then only v2.9.40 and newer will work.

i am using Ubuntu Feisty and i have no problems using winbox

i am using wine provided with feisty, currently my wine version is 0.9.33

is 0.9.36 provided by ubuntu?

i dont think it has something to do with winbox version.

i had problems with freezing winbox on same router. it was all ok but when i upgraded wine it started to freeze. now everything is fine again. they made something in wine and no more freezing

find winbox version 2.0 it will run on wine. I'd seen 2.2 not working on wine.
regards

I've had troubles off and on with freezing. If a router continues to freeze I delete the application data for the wine profile, and it usually works after that. Using Feisty with RouterOS 2.9.34/35 and winbox 2.2.10

my winbox started to hang :/
stupid question, where can i find winbox wine data?

Yes, same trouble here

I'm running Kubuntu Fiesty, (and Winbox worked just fine previously in Dapper)

WinBox Loader v2.2.7 and WinBox v2.9.6

I've downgraded Wine to 0.9.30 but WinBox still freezes after login

And what about winbox wine data, where it can be found?
Any ideas?

as said before - upgrade RouterOS please. upgrades are free

I can't just upgrade all MT routers I'm administering.

Maybe now the need of native Linux Winbox has appeared?

What Wine version should I install to make it work again?

Hi All!

I have ubuntu gutsy gibbon with wine 0.9.46 and winbox 2.2.13.
If i connecting to the local mikrotik router with mac address, no problem, works fine,
but if connecting with ip address the local or remote mikrotik router, not work, 'frozen'.

I try copy the winbox.exe in the wine's system32 library, but not work too.

any idea?

thanks

Works great for me. What version of Mikrotik?

I'm using linux and doing lots of mikrotik administration on daily basis and i've noticed that most recent versions of winbox/wine has started freezing up if RouterOS version is below 2.9.40 (2.9.40 itself works fine) .. sometimes it happens that it unfreezes after a few minutes or does not freeze at all, but that's really rare so i'm not relying on it. A while ago it became impossible to connect to 2.8.x too, because winbox just disappears somewhere in the background and i am forced to kill it. I have no idea why that happens, but in such cases i just stick with ssh or use a windows laptop if there is one nearby.. seems much simpler and easier solution than bugging mikrotik support.

I am using wine-0.9.27 with Intrepid / Gusty Its work fine.
I use this package I fix it.
