If you try to upgrade directly from Winbox loader and version is not available, then you might need to wait for a while until cache in path between your device and our servers is refreshed.
First try daily manging about 300tiks with windows and afther that the same type of work with winbox throug wine (let’s say under ubuntu).
If you will find no difference, you have some weird perception problem.
P.S: fun fact, RouterOS developers develop Winbox “Wine first”.
I get it. I appreciate it.
BUT :
there is grag&drop problem (winbox sometime freeze after d&d; tested od multiple distros //with kde, gnome, mate..// and also with multiple versions of wine)
font problem
speed “problem” (winbox is not exactly slow on wine but is MUCH slower than winbox in windows)
As I said earlier, native linux version would be GREAT, I believe I am not alone with that wish.
you can resolve font problem easily, when you install fonts to the wine using winetricks, don’t forget to recreate wine prefix to use new fonts
I have no issue with speed
drag and drop for me work only with direction from the desktop environment to the “wine winbox”. The opposite direction (from winbox to the kde/xfce) not work for me. Try to copy files while logged using ip address, not mac address.
Guys, I am using wine, linux, mikrotik and all of that stuffs since roughly 2008 or so…
I known all of this tricks and thx for helping but this is exactly that reason for make native app (winbox).
All of this little things are annoying. Especially when you work with this tool 6 or more hrs daily.
Very soon will all distros drop 32b libraries and dependencies. Wine is big pile of software (64+32+fonts it is around 1GB of data,) just for one small binary file (winbox, 1600KB).
Yes,I known, windows is major os on pc world but it is not OS for this sort of craftsmans (admins, network specialist, it experts, …). I kinda thinking mikrotik deserve your own mgmt app in each platform.
Especially when we already have android and ios version…
No flame pls, all of this is just MHO.
Sorry for my poor english.
