Public bug reported:
I had Ubuntu 20.04 installed and was using MYOB in Playonlinux to do my
accounting and it all ran fine. I had a number of issues in Ubuntu
(screens and stability mostly) and when it refused to boot one day and
Ubuntu 20.04.1 had just been released, I decided to install it instead.
Fixed all my Ubuntu issues, but then had some weird issues in MYOB. The
main one is that the date format is MM/d/yy, where in Australia it
should be dd/MM/yy. I researched MYOB (this in MYOB 19) and found it
gets the date format from the Windows short date.
Looking into the date format in wine, I went into the registry setting
for short date, but it was set correctly (not sure, but this may come
from Ubuntu?), so it seems that is not being sent through. I tried
different versions of Wine, but in the end did a total reinstall of
Ubuntu and still had the same issue. So not sure if this is something
that changed in Ubuntu 20.04 > 20.04.1 or if its a different version of
playinlinux and the one in 20.04.1 repository (used the default one in
the repo) has a bug or if its something to do with Wine.
I also noticed in the past that I just had a PDF printer available in
MYOB, there is still a print to file in Ubuntu, but MYOB says there are
no printers available now (it used to print to ~/PDF from in MYOB in
Playonlinux). So seems something between Ubuntu 20.04.1 and playonlinux
is not happy!
