USB sticks are not detected the same way as on Windows. Another unsolved problem is the usage of USB sticks.

For example, if you move the mouse cursor to the bords of a dialogue button, the dialogue starts moving. There are still some bugs and unsolved problems. Now we can run Rekordbox for the first time.
REKORDBOX INTERFACE INSTALL
To solve this install corefonts by using the command winetricks -q corefonts. If you run Rekordbox now, you may miss some fonts in the user interface. There you have to enable the radio button next to Hide Wine version from applications. Run the winecfg utility and go to the Staging tab. A way to detect Wine is by checking the exports of ntdll and check for the function wine_get_version. To solve this problem, we have to hide Wine from Rekordbox. Unexpected errors stopping us from using Rekordbox
REKORDBOX INTERFACE REGISTRATION
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ wine rekordbox.exeĮven after this, it will still not get past the registration screen because Rekordbox is Wine aware and does some buggy stuff under the hood. Somehow it does not start when you do not run it within the same folder and it ends with "Unexpected application error". After the setup, you have to run the rekordbox.exe binary in the installation directory.Ĭhange into the folder where rekordbox is installed and run the binary with Wine from there. To install Rekordbox, you simply run the official installer with Wine and install in the default or a custom location. In ArchLinux the package is called wine-staging. You can either check, if your distribution has it in their repository or you can compile it on your own. The first thing you need to install is the latest wine-staging package. Some details may differ for you but the concept is the same. In my setup, I am using the ArchLinux distribution. I bought a license because it was worth it for me and I simply want to run Rekordbox in Linux as well. BUT running in a VM has other benefits regarding the trial mode by using snapshots ). It is possible to run Rekordbox in a virtual machine but I think the energy consumption on a laptop is higher this way. In my personal opinion, I simply do not want to reboot just to do some DJing. The holy law of the pioneers permits thinking of Linuxįurhtermore, they try to detect if you are running Rekordbox in Wine to stop it. Discussing Linux support or compatibility is not allowed on their official forums and threads get closed. There may not be a large enough market for the additional support and engineering effort required. Officially there is no Linux support from Pioneer. Beside preparing and managing your music files for DJ sets, you can play your sets live with your own Pioneer controller. Pioneer's Rekordbox is one of the top commercial DJ software in the market.
