I'm trying to get of working in windows, but one of the thing that is making me hold on to Dual boot Windows/Ubuntu is Sketchup and Skindigo.
My question is, did anyone try and get it to work? I can't even make SU to work well in Wine, even less Skindigo.

Hi, if you get in contact with this chap he should be albe ot help you with regards to getting SU running in wine.

I believe it involves quite a lot of fiddling aobut, and as far as i know he hasnt managed to get plugins working in win yet.[/url]

Thanks for the help! :D

I still very new to linux, so i solved the problem with this tutorial.

This way i don't need to exit ubuntu and go to windows to use SU and Skindigo.

But i´m still waiting for a linux version of SU. :(

Currently working great with SU in Ubuntu.
Quite a lot off information @ the WINEHQ Application site on installing

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=6842

With running Indigo you must first change the line endings in the .rb file from windows to linux :

tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile

It still crashes if you try to open directly out of SU but if you just export scene and open it through Indigo it works like a charm! :D

Camara,
Attached file that I use.
The "tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile " is used in the commnandline to change the line endings.
Open console
change to directory where file is located and then use the tr -d'\r' to make the changes.

I'm also using the windows version of Indigo, can't seem to get the linux version to work :oops: Also new and still learning!

(As i explained earlier Sketchup still crashes on my PC when launching directly, rather export the scene and open through Indigo.
Plugings -> Skindigo -> export scene)

HTH!

Vanaardt, it worked! :D

But, I read this:
