Can't connect for updates still?

Hey everyone! We're looking into this and we hope to have it resolved soon, but we're rushing to get Hero Lab for iPad ready for PaizoCon in a couple of weeks, and we likely won't have time to get to it until sometime after 4th of July weekend.

Once we're over our current crunch mode, we should hopefully be able to tackle this and get Linux users back up and running.

All!

I solved this issue on Linux Mint 17 using a fresh install of HeroLab and Wine 1.7.xx.

Ok here's what I did.

Uninstall EVERYTHING (Wine and HeroLab).

Restart

Install Wine 1.7.xx (sudo apt-get install wine1.7)

Download herolab and install with Wine.

In a terminal navigate to your ~/.wine/Progam Files (86)/Hero Lab.

Type in wine HeroLab.exe .... You'll get errors:

p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT/DATA_SEND_TIMEOUT 30000
err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT/DATA_SEND_TIMEOUT 30000

You need to install some packages.

First: goto the Software manager and search for winbind ... install EVERY package that pops up (the i386 will say Not Available - don't worry just install what you can). This gets rid of the ntlm_auth error.

Second: Open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install p11-kit:i386 ...
You'll be prompted for your password. Type it in and hit enter.

Third: in the terminal type: wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Then when that finishes type: sh winetricks wininet


DONE!! Now launch HeroLab and Enjoy! This works for Linux Mint 17 64-bit but should work for Ubuntu 14.04 and both 32/64 bit.

Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention - write down your license info BEFORE uninstalling herolab. Then when you reinstall and get it running, hit Activate on the first screen and type in your license #.

I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and have the same issue. Cannot install Wine 1.7, the latest version on my distro is 1.6.2 and I have to configure a PPA repository to use version 1.7. Since I'v juste upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, I am not keen on taking the risk of adding an unsupported Ubuntu repository...

[ciryon02]

I have typed on a console "winetricks wininet" and after a download, the workaround was good and I could download Hero Lab updates.

User happywanderer has supplied a procedure that he says will fix the certificate issue for individual users:

I would like to know if anybody else has had some success with this procedure.

[ciryon02]

have installed Wine 1.6 (no 1.7 on ubuntu 14.04) and type 'winetricks wininet' on a console and it worked

[TheGreatShavedApe]

I run OpenSuSE 13.1 and I just had to run the winetricks script and it worked.

Thanks for help!
