Hello!

I have debian and cedega gives "error=21".

What should i do?

Thank you for help!

Have you googled for this error message?
(I got a little over 1000 results!)

Some of the results are posts on this site.

Yes but not Debian??

Could you give some Debian link here?

In the meantime...

which version of cedega?
which game is causing the problem?
and are you able to play any other games using cedega?
is the game installed globally (in the system) or locally (in your user area) ?
do you have wine installed as well?

there's a forum at transgaming.org (cedega homesite), have you looked there?

okay... My problem is the Debian. I haven't found any debian error explanations or something. People are talking about FC and so on..

My cedega is 4.2-1. Game is call of duty and every game gives same problem (i have tried other games too):

/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega//winex/bin/wine: can't exec 'CoDUOSP.exe': error=21
(sorry my bad english)

Just found this while searching...

I found the answer. This is from another forum:

Exec shield is incompatible with Wine. To disable it:

In /etc/sysctl.conf add:
kernel.exec-shield = 0

Then run (as root):
sysctl -p

Just as matter of interest...

have you posted to the Ubuntu forums about this problem?

Are you trying to run the game from a windows fat32 partition or from your linux filesystem?

If from windows partition, you must use the parameter 'auto' instead of 'vfat'.

For example:

mount -t auto /dev/hda5 /mnt/temp

This fixed my error 21 problem, but I'm using Suse, not Debian, so it might not work for you.

Hei THANK YOU!! Some games works but! Now problem is this:

"Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"."

Any ideas to solve THIS??

It must be something about display driver? Or video card??

I have Geforce 2 MX/MX 400.

Again, I had the same with Suse. I got this error when I was trying to run cedega (+ the program) as root. Try to run it as a normal user.

I've installed all the games with cedega as user. This means they get installed into the Transgaming Drive folder. Makes adding maps and extra bits and so on a whole heap easier.
If you invoke the game exe from the command line don't forget to add \ to allow for spaces in the command string.
EG; cedega /home/me/Transgaming_Drive/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/war3.exe


I've had an awesome gaming experience with Mandrake 10 (Warcraft3 and GTA:Vice City both play perfectly) and nothing but headaches and no sound with Ubuntu.
I set up mandrake for a friend who had an ATI grfx card and the grfx were AWFUL.
Nvidia is the way to go. IMHO
