First of all, I want to thank Poell for inviting me to Joost.

First Try ( XP ) :

Nadownload ko na yung Joost under XP and hindi siya gumana, hindi ko din alam kung bakit. And wala akong balak alamin kung bakit. hehehe siguro dahil sa XP ko siya ginamit.

Second Try ( Kubuntu ) :

I try to install it in Wine and the installation didn’t seem to work properly, as not all files extracted. What I am going to try and do is extract it on a Windows XP machine, and then copy the files in my Kubuntu. And then I tried to run Joost under wine, but no luck. This is what my terminal looks like:

Dahil sa kagustuhan kong mapagana ang Joost at dahil may kaultukan pa din ako sa utak. Humanap at gumawa ako ng paraan. Ayun naisip kong tumingin mismo sa wine kung meron ba silang patch para dito. At meron nga at ito ang nakita ko.

Download you wine source here. Extract it and you need to apply the following patches:

• ntdll: use NtQueryAttributesFile in RtlDoesFileExists_U
• ntdll: NtAreMappedFilesTheSame semi stub
• ntdll: call NtAreMappedFilesTheSame to guard against duplicated loading of the same dll
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Select an onscreen context based on the thread by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Create multithreading contexts for swapchains by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: When multithreading, call glFinish after drawing by Stefan Dösinger
• [PATCH] WineD3D: Select offscreen contexts for new threads by Stefan Dösinger
• dsound: zero out parameters even in case of a error

And compile

cd tools
./wineinstall


In your wine configuration Tick virtual desktop with the size of 800×600, else the picture is shifted to the bottom.
Cd into the Joost directory then run wine xulrunner/tvprunner.exe application.ini

Then after that kuha ka ng boy bawang /or wonderboy (recommended) habang nanonood.

Dell + Ubuntu Updates :

According to Eweek’s Interview with Mark Shuttleworth “Dell will not include open-source software such as Wine, which lets users run Windows programs on Linux, with the PCs it plans to bundle with Ubuntu Linux“.

As for wine user, it is very easy to install in [*]Ubuntu, so that will not be a problem for any users of these Dell laptops to get it installed.
