Hi. So latest update.

I have successfully installed ADE 2.0.1 inside a debian Jessie based container (with wine-staging from the winehq PPA). It appears to run OK, however it fails to authorize the computer. I've tried changing my password to make absolutely sure it's not that. It looks as though it's a similar problem to that which DiapDealer hit. I get this output:

Code:

libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600

Unlike DiapDealer, I don't have a lot of choice about which libgl to install.

Googled those errors and there's hits where updating wine fixed it. Also where using Steam and a game distributed its own, outdated libGl libraries, which is obviously not relevant here. So it would seem what I need is a libGL library that'll provide DRM capabilities. I'm not even sure it needs to drive the physical GPU as it's running inside the container and using the host's X11 display.

By the way, I have tried to get it working on the host itself but that continues to be an issue and so far I've gotten further with the container. Which is more fiddly but if I get it to work, I'll have a robust solution that's not dependent on the host OS version.
