Note that ALL of those applications are the same binaries in the two Debians, and I can still run the latter two by rebooting into the older system. There is not a single diagnostic or clue either to the console or in /var/log. Under Debian 8 (jessie), all of Memorymap, Internet Explorer, the Kindle app and Adobe Digit Editions work under Debian 10 (buster), they all run but only the first two can connect to the Internet. I have an almost identical issue, and created a new post, which is awaiting moderation. Search is effectively disabled, for some reason, and I missed this. In summary, this is all turning out to be quite painful, and if a similarly flippant "response" is posted I'm probably going to just give up.ĭamn. But certainly "man winetricks" makes it sound like it should've put them somewhere obvious! I must confess to also being puzzled as to exactly what "winetricks" actually does, since after exiting I cannot find any of the programs I installed with it in "~/.wine" or using "wine explorer.exe". Nevertheless, I also installed the BNN Nook reader with winetricks and I can't log in to my BNN account either the error message says "the system is unavailable at this time" although once again there does appear to be a connection because if I mistype my password it instead tells me it's wrong!

But there MUST be network connectivity within the wine program space because otherwise winetricks would not have been able to download and install anything! Trying to test my connection from the wineconsole cmd with "ping" produces the cryptic error "fixme:ping:main this command currently just sleeps based on -n parameter" which, according to a posting from 2.5 years ago, is a bug in wine. This is according to the "Help -> Check for Problems" popup (which also says I haven't got secure storage or the dictionary downloads, though that's secondary).
#Kindle 1.17 cannot register update
Second, I cannot update to the latest version from within the Kindle program because it apparently thinks it is not connected to the internet.

This makes it impossible to install the latest version directly, so winetricks was the only option even though it installs an older version. I am having this exact same problem, and the response above is not helpful.įirst, like quietforest I found the Kindle-Installer downloaded from Amazon "unpacked" itself but then exited without actually doing the install.
