PokerTracker

Hi,

I'vd installed Pokertracker with wine and linux, but it doesn't work.

I tried a komplete new installation, reinstallation P-SQL and the beta 9.4.

every time it hangs at the same point:


"unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT3 DB"

Could it be, that it doesn't work with linux?

You'll need to make sure that you configure PostgreSQL to listen on hosts that are not just localhost - due to the way wine interacts with the system it's like you're on a LAN. The setting you want to change is to set listen_addresses = '*' in the postgresql.conf file. Make sure the line isn't started with a # or that will comment out the change. Restart the PostgreSQL server and you should be able to connect to it via your IP local IP address then (which you can find via ifconfig if you need).

One note though: Last I heard Wine didn't support the alpha transparency model that we use, and as such the HUD would not function properly. It's possible this support has been added recently, but you'll definitely want to make sure you're using the latest version of Wine - and if you see a large grey box when trying to use the HUD, that means it hasn't been implemented as of yet.

I can't find that file. Could it be, that this config-file isn't created at my system?

If postgres was installed then you should have that file - did you do a full search for it?

yes, I did.

As user and as root, too. Beginning at /

With the full name and with "post*.conf", too.

So It must be, that there is a problem by installing.

I deleted it again and installing new. My console says this:

Starting PT gives that to my console:

It seems to be a problem with the password. But I didn't change the default. So I don't uinderstand, what is to be change.

After reinstalling you were able to find the postgresql.conf file? In the same directory should be a pg_hba.conf file - add a line at the end specifying your local network's D class as an acceptable entry using CIDR notation (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 for a 192.168.1.x LAN IP) and set it to trust rather than md5 and restart the PostgreSQL server and see if that works better for you.

not found.

not found, too.

In which directory it should be?

What distribution are you using? I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and for me it's in /etc/postgresql/[version]/main/.
