Getting this output: http://pastebin.com/PzQULCtx
Trying to run program called Chess Position Trainer with Wine on my Mac. I have tried VMs but they make the program run way too slow. A friend suggested Wine but I'm having trouble getting to running. I made a prefix with WineBottler to create the app. When I click on the .exe it bounces on my dock for a bit and then closes. When I try to run it through my terminal it gives me that above output. Tried googling this issue but not gleaning anything from my search. Any ideas?
You need to find the location of the Wine installation by running the program directly, one of the optional File paths is the location of the Wine or for mac you should be using the new version WineBottler which is now trademarked for Mac OS X and included Wine and Winebottler. Once you run the program directly your .exe will be in the system files in the same way Windows would store the files under Wine-1.7/Program Files. You might want to reinstall so that you have an easily accessible folder. Make sure to delete all Wine Folders first if you do so. Right now I'm trying to get serial bus and internet functionality within my applications and the new version includes a list of optional services called winetricks that can be applied from the menu, but right now I'm staring at a seemingly hung DOT NET 3.5 SP1 which I'm probably going to let run all day because if it's installing service packs, I've seen those take weeks on old Windows computers.

I have an odd situation here — I need to get a copy of Rosetta (the translation program that let's x86 software run on Apple silicon Macs) onto a Mac that can't connect to the internet (yet). I'm hoping someone knows how to download a .zip of it that I can use a hard drive to port to the internet-less computer.
Kind of a long story, but I recently reformatted an Apple Silicon Mac and used migration assistant to clone a copy of my work setup onto it, only the profiles in this employeer build require activation via the corporate network before you can connect to the internet. Normally this is done via the VPN client that comes pre-installed on their machines, only, I can't run that VPN client because it's x86 and the computer is Apple Silicon... but I can't install Rosetta in order to run it either because I can't connect to the internet.
Thus I need to download Rosetta on another computer, put it on a hard drive, and open it on the first computer. Just can't seem to find a file-copy of Rosetta anywhere is the problem.
Install Rosetta on an Apple Silicon Mac with internet:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
Run the following script to find the installation folder:
grep "RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg" /var/log/install.log
The installation folder path will be something like:
/var/folders/f5/_hdu19hcuin1ckjnqkjcndwkcnadskjnckjqwn/T/OAHSoftwareUpdate/RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg
Go to the installation folder, copy the RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg file and install it on the Mac that is offline.

I just installed Virtual BOX to run linux labs. I am running into the issue, when I download Ubuntu or Kali .ISO or .OVA file extensions these files appear as if they were PDF files - so VM does not recognize them. Any suggestions towards correcting this scenario is appreciated.
View of a .OVA download
I am not sure about .ova files but you can try downloading the Ubuntu ISO file from here.
Also, are you correctly using the ISO file in Virtual box by going to the VM -> Settings -> Storage and then clicking on the disk icon besides controller, that should open the file explorer and give you the option to add the ISO file.
Sorry I can't use comments just yet, (which is where I think this should be) however, if you're using windows 10, there's Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short. Its extremely simple to install and may be able to accomplish your needs. Lots of great features if you have the latest dev build of windows 10 like reading ext4 filesystem's and making them available to windows.
As for the original issue, I'm not sure I 100% understand what you mean by opening them as PDFs, but it sounds like maybe its a matter of changing the default program for those file extensions in your windows settings. Have you tried right click->open with on the files in question ?
Had not seen the picture at first... Yes this is a default program issue. You can do as I suggested with right click, or go to settings->Apps->default Apps->choose default apps by file type

A friend of mine is showing me how to use the shell (on my mac) and I used ls -a to look at all of the files in my home directory and there are a few that I'm wondering if they're garbage.
The ones that seem non-native to the computer (I'm running Mountain Lion)
.cups
.drjava
.nbprofiler
.netbeans
.profile
I googled netbeans (and "cups" unsuccessfully) and it seems like netbeans is an IDE, but I never installed it and it's not on my computer. I'm just curious if some of these files are garbage that piggybacked here on other downloads. Thanks for any knowledge you guys might have of this!
All of the files that you mentioned are part of Mac OS X already. Cups is to manage printers, netbeans is an IDE, drjava is for writing java applications, nbprofiler is to uncover memory leaks, and .profile can be used to set up aliases that act as shortcuts to commands. It is an optional file which tells the system which commands to run when the user whose profile file it is logs in. Hope this helped!

I am very new to using a Unix environment. I have started development on MAC OS X. Where ever I go I see references to the /usr/local/ directory for installing software, but I don't see that folder by default on my Mac. Should I create this folder in order to do any development?
OSX hides various parts of the system (including /usr/local) from the Finder. So you won't see this folder while in a Finder window, if that's what you mean when you say you can't see it.
You should look into using a package manager to install software, rather than trying to do it all yourself. Two popular options for OSX are Homebrew and MacPorts. Most likely before you use either of those, you will need to install Xcode through the App Store and then install the Command Line Tools (go to Preferences and then Downloads in Xcode).
Open up a terminal and "cd /usr/local". It should be there. The main idea of this directory is that you can install programs there and they will be "integrated" with the rest of the system, in the sense that the default command search path includes /usr/local/bin, the library path includes /usr/local/lib and so on. But you're by no means required to use this directory. Instead, while developing it might be better to use a subdirectory in your personal /home (or /Users) directory.

in Virtualbox it is possible to set up several instances of the same OS. Now I want to install Windows XP two or three times, because I need to check all my webwork on different Windows settings and IEs. Therefore I need to purchase one working license for the XP. But If I want to run three XPs (NOT simultaneously), do I need to have three licenses?
Thanks for your help...
To keep your boss happy (not spending more money than needed) and the Microsoft company happy you may want to consider installing their VHD's:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef
You can load these with Virtualbox. In so doing no licence violations will have been committed.
I’ve tried to install a fully working Windows OS over the VM. It actually did work, but I was looking for something easier and slicker. I did find the Wine app in addition to the Winebottler app. These two work together perfectly for my needs: Installing IE 6, 7 and 8 for testing purposes. However I’ve had some issues installing IE6, but I think I will work it out soon. Use Wine to install Windows apps without having to run a full Windows partition. You just have to download the Winebottler, its image contains Wine already. You just have to Update Wine after running it the first time.
Thanks for your reply Mathew. I think your solution is also worth thinking about!
