Local network farm stopped working after updating MT5 on Ubuntu linux

New comment
 

Hello,

I used to use the local network farm feature on Ubuntu Linux. When I tried to run it again after a while, I found it was no longer working - possibly due to an MT5 update.


- Symptoms
Clicking the "Add" button for an agent in the "Services" tab of MetaTester 5 Agents Manager produces no response, and no agent is added.

- Environment
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.04 LTS
Wine: wine-10.0
MT5: MetaTrader 5 Version 5.00 build 6090 (31 Jul 2026)

- Potentially clue
With an older version of MT5, clicking the "Add" button used to display error messages like the following (though they no longer appear in the current version):

0164:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Unit MetaTester-2.service could not be found.
015c:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
016c:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Unit MetaTester-1.service could not be found.
Unit MetaTester-3.service could not be found.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Nothing will be done with Wine 10 sorry. Developers can't assure maintenance of all Wine versions. Upgrade to 11.x and check how it works. Then report here if needed. Thanks.
