Wine is the Windows compatibility layer/setup for Linux, Mono is the GTK compatibility layer for it ...Comment -
I'll do a little research, but I'm still a bit lost. Do you have a "how-to" guide or something?

Install Ubuntu, go into "Ubuntu Software Center" off the start menu, search for and install Wine (the first one not the second beta version).Originally posted by thadchrI'll do a little research, but I'm still a bit lost. Do you have a "how-to" guide or something?
Open a terminal/command window and type/do the following:
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha and hit return (will download a wine config/tweaking script)
chmod+x wiretricks-alpha and hit return (makes it executable)
sh winetricks mono28 and hit return (runs winetricks and installs mono v2.8)
wget http://pokerservices.sbrforum.com/do.../sbr_setup.exe and hit return (DLs the poker client)
wine sbr_setup.exe ( runs/installs SBR Poker into the Wine area within Ubuntu and lets you watch the debug output in the terminal window in case something goes
up )
at this point you'll have a shortcut to SBR Poker on your desktop. right click it, select the permissions tab, and tick ( or untick and retick ) allow execute file as program and click close, and the shortcut should now show the SBR Bull as the icon graphic.
you're now good to go, double click it to run it like you would in Windows, and up it will come, login using your SBRForum username/password combo
I'm not 100% sure it needs Mono v2.8 to work properly but I upgraded Wine and Mono both before I attempted to run it, and it works fine for me, and Mono has a small footprint in terms of disk usage anyway ...
Maybe mods should copy/sticky this someplace for non-Win users ?Comment -
SBR John,
You need to address the issue of posters registering for 2 tourneys per day and if the glitch can't be fixed in the software impose punishments for violators.Comment -
and the supposed priority to non-US timezone participants for the 1pm ones ...Comment -
awesome, to bad im not all that good at poker... but hey I figured I'd tryComment -
Oh my GOD , wait me please

Wow chachi... sounds rather complex. I'm starting to think it might honestly be easier to just get an old shitty Windows computer and use it for nothing but SBR Poker.
Anyway, thanks for the write-up though! I'm a little worried about putting my system on the line with so many strange and seemingly important programs... maybe it's less intense than Im thinking? Either way, I personally appreciate the alternate option, and I'm sure many others will as well if they are looking for an option and do in fact read this.

When did these get capped at 72 compared to 88!??!Comment -
thad its a lot simpler than it probably reads ... after installing Ubuntu were talking 5 mins effort maxComment -
Yeah, why 72? Eager beavers and ghost artists rewarded again.Comment -
So everything is full for today then?Comment -
And people can only play in one per day? 288 spots fill up that quick??
Comment -
And can people signed up for today not register for tomorrow yet?Comment -
I guess you can...?
Things are a bit confusing for me... I'm currently using a friend's computer, who uses a virtualization program to get Windows, and I was able to sign up for a spot in tonight's tourney after one inexplicably opened up. Right before that I'd signed up for tomorrow night's... so now I'm in for both? Is this allowed? And, if I log out will I become unregistered?Comment -
TPowell: nh

8th i think in the 4 PM...stupid fukin play by me.Comment -

sorry stupid question perhaps, but the wording in rules is not 100% clear...
satelite winner is not giving up his slot in main event by playing another satelite, right?Comment -
Good Luck Mates!Comment -
Correct. You're in for the Saturday tournament and you can still play once per day.Originally posted by lukahh
If you happen to win a tournament tomorrow or Friday, the second place person would get a spot instead of first, but you're in regardless.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Yeaaa... We are working hard on it. I was told the problem will be corrected by programming in the next couple of days. OK, I'll ask Bill and Lou to work out the dup guys.Originally posted by pavyracerComment -
Well, it's time to play another tourny in 35m. I'm in, best of luck me.Comment -
not enough spots for everyone who wants to play why did you reduce it from 88 to 72 players?
Comment -
Yeah, little disappointed I can't play tonight after getting the kiddies to bed early. Oh well. Good luck to those who got in.Originally posted by OmgUrMomnot enough spots for everyone who wants to play why did you reduce it from 88 to 72 players?Comment -
I also pass on tonight's tourney, not feeling well, good luck to all tonight!Comment -
Anyone planning on unregistering in the next 11 minutes?Comment -
How/when do when get our sbr points for winning? I placed 4th in the 4pm game but have not received my points. Thanks in advance.Comment -
There are a lot more then 288 SBR Pros. There should definitely be more seats.
What do you think SBRJohn?Comment -
Found them, then gave them right backOriginally posted by NrmlCurvSurfr

There you go, transaction was somehow lost in limbo.Comment -
You could have had iifold's seat in the 10 p.m. tourney since this is his second tourney of the day he has just been on auto-fold for the last 45 minutes.Originally posted by RonPaul2008
Guys joining multiple tournaments a day is very unfair to those who want to play.Comment
