This was asked in a thread a while back but with no luck…
I have already successfully moved my MS-SQL server to a Debian server which is working great thanks to Microsoft’s new found love for Linux.
I would love to be able to run my POS terminals on Linux, but to do so I would need to get SambaPOS running under WINE.
Using Ubuntu 18.04 I have added 32-bit wine and thanks to winetricks I have successfully installed the .NET Framework 4.6.2
I have also been able to install SambaPOS 5 but unfortunately it does not seem to run correctly…
If I launch without a connection string to my SQL server (should use a text file DB because LocalDB is not installed) then everything works fine. I am presented with the login screen, but when I login with “1234” there is no menu displayed and right-clicking does not give the orange bottom menu:
If I launch with a connection string to my SQL server (should use a text file DB because LocalDB is not installed) then I never get to the point where the login screen is displayed since the DB fails to connect. If anyone has any experience of running .NET SQL clients in WINE I would love to know if you have nay tips.
