Vendetta not reading wgaf aliases

Mar 13, 2009 Touriaus link
I built a new comp a few weeks back and installed Ubuntu on to it. I didn't think there was a difference between the wgaf files on different platforms (just a text file) so i grabbed my wgaf file from the windows box and moved it on to here via usb flashdrive. Found the vo directory and replaced teh wagf in it with this one and double checked that it had all the data. But it does not seem to be reading any of the aliases or anything. Which is basically just a turbo lock alias. Any ideas?

The file should be named "wgaf.cfg" .. note the lower case. Also check the permissions on the file.

-rw-r--r-- 1 vskye vskye 4650 2009-03-13 01:34 wgaf.cfg

The file should have your login name vs vskye, but other wise it should look the same, as far as the -rw-r--r-- part goes.

"-rw-r--r-- 1 vskye vskye 4650 2009-03-13 01:34 wgaf.cfg"

none of that anywhere, not even in the original vo download. I have permission to the file. There isn't really a reason why it shouldn't read it, But I guess that is linux.

Text file line termination? i.e. linux text files have lines that are normally terminated with newlines and Windows text files with Carriage Return/Line Feed?
