Running MT4 in linux

Just did a system update (Debian "Wheezy"), including Wine... and lost sound on MT4 (build 445). Worked fine before that. I installed MT4 from a few other brokers and no sound, so the issue seems to be with updated Wine. Any ideas for the fix?
Are you using Pulse Audio as your sound server? You may need to add "padsp" to the command you use to launch MT4.

just a note for Ubuntu:

for a while I used Ubuntu with Unity and moved recently to: cinnamon.
How to completely remove Unity, and replace it with Cinnamon?

it seems to be so much more responsive.

MT4 also works very well through wine in fedora, but has anyone heard of a native linux MT4 platform either in the works or already in existance? I've been loking for a couple of months so far and found nothing yet.

No never heard of a native one: would also strongly doubt there is any and with MT5 out I do not guess there will be any MT4 native linux in works either.

But maybe someone else knows of any - would be interested too.

I remember reading something many years ago about a linux native version of Metatrader, but it seems MQ just abandoned the idea. It's a shame because Linux is a very good OS for mission critical applications like running EAs and the like. I ran a server on Gentoo linux more than a few years ago and the only time it had a reboot in 5 years was when there was a power cut.

If you have access to a windows machine, you might as well copy all of the fonts over.

Also, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?

I installed slacko puppy 5.7, wine, mt4.., fonts and dll-s..
And now everything works but colors.....
I can't change any color in my mt4 (background, indicator..)....when I open the color section it shows me all the colors, but when I press the desired one it doesn't do anything...
How can I solve this problem..?

I can't reproduce it. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and Mt4-625 and dont have this problem.
However, using Mt5 there is an issue with changing colors in custom indicators.

Hi svengralla,
Yes I read that part....and mt4 should work fine....., but it doesn't help me solve the problem....I must admit that I use linux only 14 days and it was a pain in the *** to set up everything......

I would put Ubuntu on that computer, but it is too old for Ubuntu.....Slacko Puppy was the best choice for it..
Will see maybe somebody has an answer..
I have to add, that I installed full Slacko with no windows on it...I took dll-s from my other vista computer...could that be the problem?

Hi,

you are using an extremely stripped down Linux distribution, not related to the Debian branch.
I recommend looking for an equivalent based on Ubuntu (Debian).
