I am coming to the conclusion that Ubuntu is not an operating system,
it is a hobby. I am about at my wits end with trying to run
applications from windows on Wine. As you have found out, they seem to
work and do to an extent but not all the way. So what good is it?
If you ask at the Ubuntu Forums they just tell you to quit being lazy
and figure it out.
In my case I've got this camera plugged in. The device manager can see
it and when I turn the power off and on I can see it come and go in
the device manager. It is correctly labeled as to manufacturer. But
when I try to access it from my windows software under wine, forget it.

I wanted to do Linux to pursue my hobby, but this has turned into a
hobby all by itself
