Linux: Pandora's Box

Linux: Pandora's Box

Is anyone running Pandora in Linux? I used to run it in Ubuntu at one time, but with the current distribution of Ubuntu I have problems getting the .Net framework 1.1 installed with Wine.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to go ahead and installed 1.1 with the errors and run PB.. but when I tried to load PB, it would not let me click a profile to finish loading the program.

Is there a version of Pandora's Box that uses .Net framework 2.0 ?

or...

UPDATE: I'm only using PB3 these days.
Does anyone know how to get Pandoras Box 3 to function properly in Wine or MONO?

NOTE: Please see images below of the problems that persist.

I know, my mistake. Maybe a moderator can move this?

I run the server in Mono... but hadn't tried launching Pandora's Box from the command line using mono. Why? Should that work? Have you tried it?

mono is linux version of .Net framework.. it should work, give it a try.

I don't use Pandora's Box, so i haven't tried it.

I would suggest running the 3.x version of Pandora's Box on Mono. It's more updated for more recent frameworks I believe, so it shouldn't give you a problem...or at least not as many if you do end up getting problems.

I don't think MONO is gonna cut it.

Code: 
sudo mono Pandora.exe

Returns:

Code: 
System.DllNotFoundException: kernel32
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) TheBox.Common.BoxLog:GetSystemInfo (TheBox.Common.BoxLog/SYSTEM_INFO&)
  at TheBox.Common.BoxLog..ctor (System.String filename) [0x00000] 
  at TheBox.Pandora.get_Log () [0x00000] 
  at TheBox.Pandora.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]

Re-doing Wine for PB 3 now, will show results.

Download Pandoras Box 3 from here: http://code.google.com/p/pandorasbox3/

EDIT: Ah-HA! With the current version of Wine, and only installing dotnet 2.0 from Winetricks, I can get the program to run. Please note I had to click through a few "unhandled exception" errors but it does seem to be functioning right, and that I am not using boxserver. I just needed this running on a couple of Ubuntu Linux machines to assist in world creation.

Here is a paste of the error I have to click "continue" through:

Font

Can anyone tell me which Windows font PB uses? I have installed the basic TTF fonts, but for some reason the text is still near-illegible, and the "find" link on the Deco tab is a box with an x on it. If I figure it out before anyone responds, I'll post it here.

It's a box with an x on it? As if it were a picture that failed to load? Would be kinda odd for them to use an image for that...

As for the font thing. Did you install the MS Core fonts? I imagine it's one of those. Don't see why they would use anything else, unless it really is an image...

I can't get it to even start in MONO. My server runs great in MONO, but Pandora's Box will not even start, note the error above.

Oh yes, I do have the core fonts installed. They are there, just kinda hard to read I guess. I've included 2 screenshots below. I have no idea why the boxes are there. I also consistently get the unhandled exception errors mentioned above that I have to click through. Which is kind of annoying, but it works.

No. Again, mono will not even run Pandora's Box 3 for me. It will start RunUO fine, but NOT PB3. This is the error that it spits out when I run "sudo mono Pandora.exe" in the console:
