Multzam, aaa.. i mean, thank you Mr Marius! ;-) Really needed this and saved me from a google search.

What kind of version of Ubuntu is that ? i really like the theme.

Thanks in advance.

It's Ubuntu 7.10 with the Moomex theme (you can download it from Softpedia).

Amazing. i really love to read softpedia because all you guys effort to make thing more simple. i love this tutorial and many others. reviews are wonderful.

thank all you guys for this amazing url.

Is it possible to make it run on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn? I tried this tutorial but there are unresolved dependencies :(

I think it's possible...

Paste the following line in the terminal window:

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

Thanks. Works fine! Now I will have to make my Wacom tablet work with Photoshop.
It functions well with GIMP.

I install CS2 and i can start and use PS only one. Next time wneh i start PS its say System Error. Crap :(

tha t s very good

my Photoshop CS2 in ubuntu has an error in my first installation its working but i try to open it at the second time it say i have an hardware error... i thought it will help me with this...

How could you make the panel transparent with the Moomex theme?

You need to have the desktop effects enabled, the hold ALT and with your mouse over the panel... scroll the wheel to set the transparency level.

OK, and what about Adobe CS3? I try and I cannot install it on Wine :/

CS3 doesn't work! Only CS2!

Maybe CS3 will work someday.... and when that day will come, I will make another tutorial :)

Thanks....

thaking you sir

Hi ya. great idea, but i don't even get to the install.

i just get the following errors (verbatum) upon the "open with wine" stage :

.AUTOPLAYmain.ini
MAIN_FILE_VERSION
PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT
PRODUCT_REGISTRY_KEY

That's it. it's all rather criptic

any solutions would be helpful

P.S. running latest version of Ubuntu 7.10, and Wine, as of 12 march 08

cheers

Just open up a terminal session, browse to the CD drive, and run "wine Setup.exe" -- I have no idea why, but I got the same errors you did when trying to run through the GUI. If you run it through the command line it works fine.

Not that Setup.exe guys.... the one from the "Adobe Photoshop CS2" folder...

Photoshop CS2 CD -> Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder -> wine setup.exe

My installer is a packaged Creative Suite 2. Will it be able to run under this set-up?

Sounds like great news, but does this work with the rest of the Creative Suite 2? I also need to run Illustrator and InDesign.

fnx dude it really helped me with this, blss xxx

hi

i installed wine but internet explorer is not working and iam not able install photo shop.

.AUTOPLAYmain.ini
MAIN_FILE_VERSION
PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT
PRODUCT_REGISTRY_KEY

hi

i follwed ur instructions but the internet explorer says html rendering is temporarily disabled.and trying install photoshop it say a error accured .like stop all applications running,or empty your temp folder

Hi,

you need to run the setup.exe file from the Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder.... Go into that folder and run the setup.exe from there!!!

Thanks, I get the 4 errors people are getting without navigating through navigator. Then when I try install I get as far as selecting my language then the adobe logo comes and disapears, thats it! Any help here?

Hi,

Just wanted to say I've got it working now. HUGE thank you to softpedia and Wine! Photoshop was the one and only reason I booted windows up!

For those who are interested when I did the install I didn't have any other program open this time. Especially firefox, I have a feeling that firefox was the reason my install didn't work properly.

Ok, it works great, but the clone tool, it does not work, because it will be?

I have Ubuntu 8.04, after install i got errors but fix them through the link: http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem

It works great, but "Save for web" doesn't work for me!
any idea on how to fix it?!

Running ubuntu ultimate 1.8 Gamers edition based on hardy haron 8.04 release. Needless to say the install worked perfect under wine and I have in fact successfully completed the updates which seemed to install fine... I have also tested that my save for web feature was working and it is.

Image Ready, and Bridge also updated, tested and functioning correctly.

Best of Luck to all !

Hi, I was able to install Photoshop CS2 properly. But when I try to run the program, I can't seem to get the shortcut keys to work. Even the CTRL functions, like CTRL- , CTRL-R, etc.

Does the same thing happen to you guys?

Regards,

hi, i tried to install cs2 on my ubuntu but i got this error after running photoshop:

Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry but this error is unrecoverable.


can you help me? :)

Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry but this error is unrecoverable.

I got the same error
who knows what to do?

I can't even start the setup. Once I go to Photoshop dir and start the installation, I get nothing, as if I didn't do anything...

You also need to install the Times32 font from http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/times32.exe . It is required to run Photoshop correctly. If you don't install the font you will get a error message each time you run Photoshop, and it will abort.

Afterdownloading that Times32 font, Photoshop CS2 now opens without the harware error. However, I do have some program errors left over from my CS2 installation that I have tried to fix using both remove and repair options, entering via the Wine "Remove Programs" utility, but the Adobe remove/repair program quits in the middle without removing.

Any suggestions on how to remove CS2 entirely now, and start all over again, now that I know how to do it cleanly?

Thanks

Just wanted to give a big thank you, I am running 8.10 Intrepid and already had wine 1.0.1 installed. I just copied all the .ttf fonts from my windows partition and everything works great. I had been running Photoshop 7.0 because I thought that was the latest version supported. Is really nice to have CS2 running.

This is the ONLY thing that will make or break my Linux switch.
I want to get rid of windows but I photoshop is my lively hood.

I am not a programmer and there's a lot of risk, time and patience involved in this by the looks of the comments. If these people get their issues with this install resolved, I'm sold. I'll be back to check for updates!

I got it working on the newest stable version of Ubuntu (Intrepid)! I had to copy all of my fonts over from windows, plus that times32 font thing to get it to work right.

I STILL HAVE A CLONE TOOL / HEALING BRUSH ISSUE. They bring up an error saying I didn't define the area. This seems to be the last remaining glitch in the Ubuntu Photoshop front.

Hi, I have the same error. It did run on my first atempt, but after, this error appeared.

"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry but this error is unrecoverable."

Please help..

I have the same issue, no reply fix?

Hi i got the same error , but first time when i install photoshop cs2 it got started. but next time same error

Regads

I had the same issue, it went away after i installed photoshop 7. Weird but seems like i have to have both versions isntalled. Try it, my wacom bamboo fun worked out of the box on ubuntu 9.04 too! well the pressure and eraser part, thats all i care about at the moment!

Actually, I just went into my windows install and copied all the fonts in c:windowsfonts over to the wine fonts folder and everything is running smooth now

Got it to work, thanks a bunch! I'm having trouble reading a lot of the menu items though, looks like some fonts need troubleshooting. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04, gonna try installing photoshop 7 I'll report my results.

And you guys getting the "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error" people, I was getting the same one until I googled 'tahoma filetype:ttf' as instructed in the tutorial and the times32.exe font family someone posted above. See if that works

I have installed photoshop cs2 on ubuntu 9.04 and the first time it was ok but than it said " error in system not .....

Just copy fonts of your window font folder in to wine fonts folder :) ...

Can instal in ubuntu 9.04 another adobe programs like Indesign cs3 or cs4?
If can, how?

Hi, this is great news, going to try the install. Is it necessary to copy the entire windoz fonts copy required or just those two fonts, Tahoma and Times32?

Running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on a Dell Precision 380.

Hi,

Just those two... :)
