Hello,
I have successfully installed MT5 under UBUNTU 20.04 with playonlinux. Everything works except the connection to mql5. I can still connect my account, but when I click on the profile logo, the application crashes. Both the market and the signals do not work. When I open the corresponding windows, they remain empty.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
And a second, Linux-independent question, if Broker A is changed to Broker B (on the same computer and without reinstalling), and a new MetaTrader installation is used, does this count? I mean, of course, if the Expert Advisor is no longer used with the MetaTrader of the old broker.
Greetings,
canjp

What do the Journal & Expert logs say?
Right-click on the live log, then Open (cash is written to the file and the log file is opened. Post or attach the file from today here.

Ok, you can see from this that the terminal starts, it logs into the broker's account and into the MQL5 account.
Is that what you mean by the "profile logo in the top right-hand corner"?
Do you need that?
If the terminal crashes like this, it must have left something in the Wine or Linux logs.
In your Win10 there is the event vwr:
![]()
Google for "Linux Wine Windows event viewer"

I don't need the profile logo. I just noticed that it doesn't seem to be working properly either and I could imagine that it's related to the market not working. I googled the event display but couldn't really figure it out. Do you have any other ideas on how to get the market to work? Thank you very much for your time!
"...another idea?" No. I see the terminal starts, it logs in validly to the broker and to MQ. That's all I can say.
What do you mean by: "that it obviously doesn't work properly either"? If the market is closed, you can't send an order, but that would all be in the Expert and/or Journal log. So it can't be that.
So far you are the only one with such a problem, so I don't see the problem with MQ but rather with your system ...
sudo dnf install wine
In respect of Fedora and other yum/dnf based distro's one would normally add a repo, such as below - otherwise you may end up with the distro vendors default version of wine, which most likely is outdated.
sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/36/winehq.repo # pay attention to version! sudo dnf -y install winehq-stableTradingView recently launched its Linux version, today with universal packaging for distributions, such as Flatpack, Appimage, or Snap (which for me is comfortable for the user) it is much easier to maintain an application on the penguin platform, I hope that over time this app can come, in wine there are some problems of 100% cpu usage and I have to restart the metatrader terminal, maybe running natively this would not occur!
Interesting.
Very good. It's a pity that this facility is for those who use Ubuntu. I have Fedora 36 Workstation and I'll have to do it the same way as before.
The best thing would be native to Linux.
