Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Everything seems working fine. No slowdown. Stable.
Installation
Import
Statistics/Graphs
Cash games up to $0.5/$1 were tested with Full Ring and 6max.
Use it extensively- Poker is my income.
Both the free and paid version work.
What does not
The HUD.
Program needs configuration in Wine before it will work.
What was not tested
Omaha, Tournaments.
Additional Comments
The tracker program itself works fine provided you use the workaround to hide the splash screen by following the LiquidPoker.Net instructions for hiding the splash or using the Xwindow utility.
But the most important part of the program, the HUD, does not work.
HOWTO make postgreSQL working with WineHQ for PokerTracker
Install postgresql under linux, using appropriate method
Under Debian/Ubuntu, it would be #apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client
Create a new prosgresql user
#su
#su postgres
#creatuser -P username (-P to set a password)
#exit & #exit (exit su, come back to normal user)
Wine stuff
#wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
#chmod +x winetricks (to execute the script)
#./ winetricks fakeie6
#./winetricks mdac28
Install Windows Postgresql driver
go to http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions
Choose Msi
Choose the "good" file and Download it, in my case I chose psqlodbc_08_03_100.zip
Unzip
#wine msiexec /i psqlodbc.msi
Done ! you can now launch PokerTracker3
WARNING : Wine Version
Windows version has to be Windows2000 to work properly
Otherwise, you my encounter bug #13178
HOWTO HUD
See this link to get the HUD working with PT3
http://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-forum/825616/Linux_PT3_HUD.html
Splash Screen locks application
PokerTracker3 will not start until the splash screen has been minimised.
on KDE I right click the titlebar or any other window -> Advanced -> Special Window Settings
click Window tab
click Detect Window Properties button and select the splashscreen
then go to Geometry tab and select the Minimised checkbox and click Force.
Now PT3 should work fine from now on
If you don't use KDE I think you can use wmctrl command line utility instead.

splash fix
by Mark on Thursday March 3rd 2011, 20:48
you all are gunna feel stupid...but just delete the spash picture in pokertracker 3
You can install wmctrl and run it when PokerTracker starts with the gray screen - it will create a taskbar bject for it, so you can minimize and maximize it.
Anyone getting close to getting the HUD running? I'm still at the monocolored-overlay stage :/
Splash screen
by Daniel on Monday December 15th 2008, 13:22
Hello,
I followed the instructions and everything went fine. I setup the database but when the application starts it gets stuck showing a gray square instead of the splash screen.
I manage to activate logging editing the config and PokerTracker.log shows that it successfully loads everything and connects to the database (and postgres shows 4 idle connections) but never goes pass that.
I tried using version 1.0.1 and 1.1.10 with no luck. any ideas?

Can't get it to work
by Sven on Sunday December 7th 2008, 5:00
Hello I'm running Wine 1.1.9 under a Fedora 10 "Cambridge"
When I try to connect to the database under PokerTracker (at the invite screen) I get an error message "Unable to connect to database"
Under my Fedora with postgresql, I have no problem to connect the database with \c databasename.
Though I have followed your how-to, I don't understand why it doesn't work
Problem importing duplicates
by Volle on Monday September 8th 2008, 17:24
Hi! Does anyone else have a problem when starting import of files that already have been imported? I think that normally Pokertracker should just count the hands as duplicated and process the next hands and/or files.
But unfortunately for me it hangs without a possibility to stop the import. Only "kill PokerTracker.exe" helps.
The "PokerTracker.log" fills up with lines telling me something about the "Unique-Constraint »thhs-unique_hand_no«", which is clear. But PokerTracker obviously doesn't try to process the next hand after that but retries to read the same one again and again instead.
I have to say that i didn't use the MSI-files mentioned here for ODBC, because the PokerTracker worked with my normal postgreSQL-Installation out of the box.
Does anyone know what to do here? May the ODBC-thing be a problem here?
Error when PT3 tries to create a new DB
by Duane Dibley on Thursday May 22nd 2008, 4:41
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with WINE 1.0rc-1.
I followed the instructions to install PT V3.00.2, and I got it to connect to my PostgreSQL database when it first launches, but then I run into the following error:
Unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT3 DB
Reason: Unable to execute query: CREATE DATABASE "PT3 DB" WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'SQL_ASCII';; Reason: Fatal Error (ERROR: permission denied to create database )
PT3 beta9 crash
by ray on Tuesday April 29th 2008, 20:46
Hi all--
I just tried the pokertracker 3 beta 9 on wine version 0.9.58. It showed the main window and then crashed with this error:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x4879d2 (thread 0029), starting debugger...
(then a long debugger dump)
I am running a fully patched Fedora 8, with Gnome. Everything else that I run under wine is still OK. All my other attempts at running pokertracker 3 betas have been successful, though the HUD has been flakey.
has anyone else seen this?
has anyone successfully run beta 9?
