http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4053 ------- Additional Comments From blacktiger(a)covers.de 2005-24-12 08:26 ------- Hmm I think here went something wrong ;) Look at the screen please: http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/4672/winedbg0vo.jpg Did I do something wrong, or should I do something else? Let me know :o Ah and btw - Merry Christmas ^_^" All I get (as you can see on the picture) is the following text and an empty windowed wine box: WineDbg starting on pid 0xa In 32 bit mode. start_process () at /home/blacktiger/wine-0.9.3/dlls/kernel/../../include/winternl.h:1692 0x7fc7580c start_process+0xfc [/home/blacktiger/wine-0.9.3/dlls/kernel/../../include/winternl.h:1692] in kernel32: jmp 0x7fc757fb start_process+0xeb [/home/blacktiger/wine-0.9.3/dlls/kernel/process.c:994] in kernel32 1692 static inline void WINAPI DbgBreakPoint(void) { __asm__ __volatile__("int3"); } -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4053 ------- Additional Comments From reif(a)earthlink.net 2005-24-12 08:03 ------- Yes, that's the type of info we need. Unfortunately the program catches the crash rather than wine so the info is useless. I never tried this so I don't know if it will work but can you try running the program in the wine debugger to see if it catches the exception first. Use winedbg rather than wine to run your program. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 4147] New: Regression: steam crashes on wine 0.9.4/cvs from 24.12.2005

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4147 Summary: Regression: steam crashes on wine 0.9.4/cvs from 24.12.2005 Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: leon_fraitak(a)mail.ru Steam started crashing with wine 0.9.4 with following message: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000000c at address 0x524c0b6c (thread 001b), starting debugger...

[Bug 4131] Steam & games freezes
by Wine Bugs 24 Dec '05

24 Dec '05

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4131 ------- Additional Comments From leon_fraitak(a)mail.ru 2005-24-12 07:14 ------- Today I tried Steam with Wine 0.9.3 and it works fine. Make sure you don't use ALSA driver, because Steam freezes with it for me. With 0.9.4 and today's CVS it crashes however. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 4146] New: first run usability

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4146 Summary: first run usability Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: wine-help AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: winebugger(a)piments.com Suggestions to make wine work for users who are not linux developers. Starting from the point where the wine package has been installed. What would a typical user do and what will happen. Remembering we're catering for windows user mentality here not seasoned linux system maintainers. At this stage you can be damn sure he/she has not found man wine ; man winecfg; or winehq.com. He naively thinks he has installed a software package and it will do something if he runs it, so let's see what happens. 1a. He will look for it on the "start" menu 1b. He will try to run wine from console. 1a. next idea please... Consider 1b in detail. First thing wine does it create a default setup if one is not found. There's a fair chance he had to be root to install it and he still is root. This is a big no-no but he does not know that yet. Wine does, but carries on regardless installing /root/.wine and does not even warn the user this is a BAD idea. Suggested fix: trap the error and warn. Possibly add --root switch just in case someone had a real need to do this for some unseen reason. The error should be a dlg as well as console output. Maybe now he wants some help: prof(a)linbox ~ $ wine -? wine: cannot open (null) WHAT?? OK, try again: prof(a)linbox ~ $ wine -h wine: cannot find '-h' DUHH! forget it just try running wine: prof(a)linbox ~ $ wine Wine 0.9.1 Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit prof(a)linbox ~ $ So that's it ?! My cry for help gets me "wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]" what are arguements? What do I do ?? Critism: this is near useless. it's technical ; version I already got , so what; "display this page" by this stage is likely to be taken as a bad joke if the guy is still in a good mood. Suggestions : -h should equal --help ; so should -? ;don't assume everyone is used to reading UNIX documentation. One more line with an eg. would speak a thousand words. eg wine explorer , wine notepad , wine notepad.exe , wine "c:/Program Files/ installed software/windows-program-name.exe" ABOVE ALL; he called for help and you've got his attention. HERE is where you put hooks to more info so he does not have to start using google to find what doc there is. Refer the user to man wine , man winecfg , www...wine-beginners- guide.html So at the first hurdle we fall flat, face-down in the mud. All our new user gets is "wine PROGRAM". Over and out. If he did not know before he wont be any wiser. I'll cut this off here since that much is self-contained , trivial to put in place and at least a big step forward. best regards. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
