I did get the black screen, so I tried to open Quicktime to change the GDI settings as suggested but Quicktime crashed when opened.<BR/><BR/>To fix this issue I had to put the gdiplus.dll file in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and then I was able to open Quicktime without crashing, open the preferences, and set it to use the lesser graphics. After this, iTunes and Quicktime would open just fine and there was no black screen. I pulled the dll from my Windows XP machine, but you can just google for the dll and download it.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, now whenever I opened iTunes I received this error about a registry key being bad:<BR/><BR/>"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."<BR/><BR/>I did some google searches and eventually ran across this article in the Apple knowledge DB:<BR/><BR/>http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976<BR/><BR/>So I went to my Windows box, found the registry key, and exported it (MAKE SURE TO EXPORT IN NT COMPATIBLE MODE...Wine cannot read Unicode registry keys!). Then I copied this to my Ubuntu system, opened regedit in Wine, and imported the key. No more warning messages now. :)<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried burning a CD yet but I was able to sign in to the store without issues. I didn't try downloading music yet, but the store itself seems to work. I didn't plug in my ipod either. I decided not to bother with iTunes under wine because...<BR/><BR/>As for the performance, well itunes seems to be stable under Wine now, but it is HORRIBLY slow. Running in mini mode tends to be slightly better, but if I open a browser or even a terminal window, the audio starts skipping/lagging. So basically you can use it as long as you're not using the system for ANYTHING else at the time. Also, when it changes tracks it may lag a little. It was able to successfully locate music on my Mac, authenticate (when I typed in my password), and play the music in my Mac's library though.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line, performance just isn't up to par yet. Keep a Windows box (or Mac!) around, install a Windows VM, or do something if you really want iTunes. As of right now it's too slow in Wine to be considered reasonable for my tastes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506594681349253427.post-52944190964996629202008-04-15T10:52:00.000+08:002008-04-15T10:52:00.000+08:00I'm currently trying to install the newest iTunes ...I'm currently trying to install the newest iTunes (iTunes 7.6.2.9) on Fedora Core 8.

I'll have to try this when I get home. Currently, I'm trying to get all of my computers to run Linux as it has FREE open source software. (That and my mom almost broke down crying when I told her that the boxes containing $300 to $500 of software were no longer able to be run on today's computers... O.o)<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I wanted to ask you if you had used Banshee yet. It's a media player program that runs natively in Linux and is able to support many different audio codecs as well as iPod integration. This seems to be the closest to a Linux native iTunes I've seen so far, but still lacks the iTunes Music Store. When I get home, I'm going to try out iTunes and Banshee and see if I can pull over iTunes music from the store to sync with my iPod via Banshee.
