Additional Comments
Wouldn't consider this app for language learning. The vocabulary is extremely small even at 3rd level. You will spend 10 times less money if you buy any other audio course and traditional language book.

Mint 14 Rosetta Stone Microphone Fix
by Matt on Monday December 31st 2012, 17:44
The following fixes microphone setup problem on Mint 14. I found it successful on multiple computers and microphone styles:
1) Open Wine Configuration to the Libraries tab
2) Enter "winepulse.drv" in the override section. Accept the warning.
3) Edit the newly added override and set it to "disabled"
4) Apply the changes.
This worked for both a USB microphone on my desktop system as well as the integrated microphone of my laptop. I am running wine 1.5.20.
Fixed a problem with it crashing
by theLured on Friday November 13th 2009, 3:37
I just reinstalled rosetta and got a few problems. It was solved by running winetricks as mentioned in my long post on how to get rosetta to work(including updates).
I first couldn't start rosetta as it would crash. I installed ie6 using
./winetricks ie6
If the installer says that you have the files already, choose to reinstall.
Then when loading it would just show a blank screen. this was solved by running
./winetricks flash
Rosetta V3.3.5 is working on Ubuntu 9.10 with wine-1.0.1.
I haven't tried to update it though.
It does crash when you click on "never ask again" for registering.
Microphone Trouble
by Asa Berkley on Tuesday October 13th 2009, 1:05
Hi everyone. I installed it and it works like a charm. Everything but the microphone! I'm using ALSA as my driver and Wine doesn't recognize my USB mic at all, though ALSA has no trouble finding it outside of Wine.
I know it's a common problem and so I googled around for a solution. I thought I found one in making a .asoundrc file and declaring the address of my mic...
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
}
... and it actually does recognize it. Trouble is, once the mic is recognized it fails to recognize my playback device, even though when left to default it has no trouble finding it. Thus I'm left with the lesser of two evils, no mic at all, again.
I'm at my wit's end with this, so I hope a more sagacious user can help me out here. :)
Installation works but application won't launch

Hi guys, I already have Rosetta Stone working fine on my other computer with same version of wine. But on my laptop it will only install, I can't run the app!
I just get an error saying it has to close. and the below in the terminal. Can anyone please help me

Wine can't find the .exe file
by StephenG on Monday August 3rd 2009, 17:11
When I do a search for "setup.exe" on the computer, I get no responses. In terminal, when I type "cd /cdrom" the command line switches to the CD drive but an "ls" command gets nothing. If I put an audio CD in I get music and I installed Ubuntu on this drive about 2 months ago, so it seems to be working and being recognized by the system. I'm using Wine 1.1.26 and RS 3.4.3A. The drive absolutely seems to be mounting properly. If I put in the Ubuntu install disc, everything is fine. I can browse to my heart's content. If I put in a disc with Windows files (and I've tried several), however, the drive mounts and the browser opens but there are no files there. Recap: audio files work fine (app opens and they play), Linux files are there and usable, Windows files are unfindable (with or without hidden files option checked). My machine is only Ubuntu, no dual boot-Windows. I've tried every combination of "Wine setup.exe" I can imagine. Nothing finds that setup file on the CD. Ideas, anyone?
Microphone works!
by Sebastián on Tuesday July 28th 2009, 3:10
I installed it in Ubuntu 9.04 and my normal microphone works well.
I installed it before on another computer under Windows Vista and the microphone didn't work.
They (Rosetta Stone) sell USB Headsets ( www.rosettastone.com/personal/headset ) that they say are "Rosetta Stone speech recognition authorized" so they don't give support to many other microphones.
I just followed the instructions by "theLured" but:
Installing first "cabextract" so commands with "winetricks" work.
Changing ..."drive_c/Program\ Files/Rosetta\ Stone/Rosetta\ Stone\ Version\ 3" to my locale path (..."dosdevices/c:/Archivos\ de\ programa/Rosetta\ Stone/Rosetta\ Stone\ Version\ 3")
And when mounting the image file, changing ..."Rosetta.ISO"... to my image file ("/home/usuario/Escritorio/Rosetta Stone Language Packs/Rosetta Stone V3 - English/Rosseta.iso").
Many thanks to theLured for the instructions. Apologize me for my English (I just installed and tested but didn't use Rosetta Stone yet)
Working in Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10
by theLured on Sunday March 1st 2009, 5:46
Here's how I got this version working in Linux/Ubuntu intrepid(8.10). See bottom of post for how to install the language packs. I can't use any updates as they seem to mess up Rosetta.
NOTE: If using Pulse Audio remember to always run "padsp wine" instead of "wine". You also run "padsp winecfg" and go to the audio tab and select OSS. This will give you sound.
The uninstaller doesn't work too well for me, it just seems to reinstall the current version. Here's how to remove previous versions
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rosetta Stone
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/Rosetta Stone
Not sure about this one, it might be needed for something other than Rosetta.
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/FLEXnet
Also note that I had problems loading my Rosetta as I messed up the internet explorer install and Rosetta would just crash(the installer worked fine though). If you have this problem, go here
engineering.zowers.net/2008/12/howto-uninstall-internet-explorer-6-on.html and reinstall Internet Explorer using “./winetricks ie6”.
This next part is all thanks to Christopher Roussel(the maker of this thread)
Download winetricks.
wget www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Make it executable.
chmod +x ./winetricks
Install needed stuff.
./winetricks msxml3; ./winetricks flash; ./winetricks ie6; ./winetricks native_oleaut32
Install Rosetta and untick the checkbox at the end of install(the one asking if you want to launch Rosetta).
Open a text editor and put in the below 4 lines in a file called rosettastone.(Thanks to Matt Moen at appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10043) #!/bin/bash
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Rosetta\ Stone/Rosetta\ Stone\ Version\ 3
# remember to change the below "wine" to "padsp wine" if you use pulse audio.
wine RosettaStoneVersion3.exe
Make it executable.
chmod +x rosettastone
Finally run it.
./rosettastone
# For an ISO image file :
mount -t iso9660 -o loop,norock,map=off,ro Rosetta.ISO /media/Rosetta/
# For an actual CD :
mount -t iso9660 -o norock,map=off,ro /dev/cdrom /media/Rosetta/
run winecfg and click on the "Drives" tab. Click on "Add..." and change the path to /mnt
Click Apply and then OK.
Run Rosetta and install the language pack.
