[Bug 7403] utorrent gui does not display (systray and window)

I am running a pretty clean install of Ubuntu 7.10, with Wine 0.9.51 and uTorrent 1.7.5. I completely lost the GUI and systray icon for uTorrent, though just as Dan Wilcox reported it was running and actually completing downloads. I was able to restore the GUI by deleting Settings.dat in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/Application Data/uTorrent. Not sure if it will keep working. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 2082] DirectDraw games only showing black screen
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 16 Dec '07

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2082 Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dank(a)kegel.com --- Comment #39 from Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> 2007-12-15 19:35:29 --- I've been helping sponsor some work on Wine for the last year or two. The way I go about it is a) be a fairly good wine developer and do lots of QA myself, so I can direct the work intelligently; b) hire interns to work on subsystems that are obviously important but not obviously urgent (e.g. widl, com/ole, msi, gdiplus, crypt32, bits). This only works because of (a) above, and because my company looks on hiring interns as a recruiting expense. c) hire codeweavers to work on apps that are important to my company (e.g. picasa). But that's kind of big-time. More commonly, Codeweavers fixes the bugs that the average Crossover user runs into. That's why Microsoft Office bugs get fixed - because jillions of Crossover users need it, and because Crossover users pay for support. So if you're an individual or small business looking to support Wine, but who can't work on the code directly, often the simplest way to do it is to buy Crossover licenses. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2082 --- Comment #38 from Stefan Dösinger <stefandoesinger(a)gmx.at> 2007-12-15 19:10:06 --- (In reply to comment #37) > So say I want some bugs fixed (not workarounds, but > fixes in order to make the api behave as the MS implementation), > by paying wine developers to do that. > I think there _is_ a company behind wine.

The problem with it is that getting a bug fixed is quite expensive in the end. At codeweavers we have some metric that fixing a minor bug costs us between 1000-1500 USD, which is way too much for a user to offer for a bugfix. One might argue that such bounties sum up, but unfortunately, everyone wants a different bug fixed. The problem of Wine is that it has such a broad aim, so everyone has different problems he wants fixed. So my personal way of dealing with this is that if I do not have any specific apps to get running, I'm implementing missing features without focusing on specific application, or I am picking random bugs, but that is rather rare though. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

A new bug is > "UNCONFIRMED", when people confirm it it becomes "NEW". The next step is > "RESOLVED" - with various reasons, e.g. FIXED, WONTFIX, ABANDONED, ..., after > that CLOSED. So "NEW" doesn't mean that the bug isn't older than $DAYS. The > "NEW" is what you mean with confirmed propably. Ok. The category names confused me. Thanks for your explanation. > As far as fixing this bug is concerned, an open source project isn't > something where you can drop in and order something to be done. I know. I work on free software projects of my own. I did not mean to order anyone to do anything. Through my vote and comment I meant to suggest to change the status (based on a wrong understanding of the categories), and morph the current workarounds in a fix available for default wine. > Possible reasons why this > bug isn't fixed could be > > a) None of the developer has personal or commercial interest in the specific > games > b) None of the developers has time to fix it.

There might > even be architectural differences between Windows and X11 which make it > impossible to fix correctly. This is one of the main problems with wine for me. I do not have the time to try to fix wine bugs myself. More so since I tried to invest time once to do that, but my patches remained out of tree (which is fine by itself), but I did not reach an open, satisfying discussions about the issues underlying them. So say I want some bugs fixed (not workarounds, but fixes in order to make the api behave as the MS implementation), by paying wine developers to do that. I think there _is_ a company behind wine. So do you have anything in place? Is paying for each bug enough to generate the commercial interest in fixing them? > In case of this bug, it's a combination of all 3 issues. My main interest is for vanilla wine to be better, as I see Wine as a powerful tool to facilitate the move towards free software. But it has a long way to go to reach the level of compatibility with the win32 API I (and I guess many others) would like to see. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
