As root, "ps ax | grep wine", and then looking at pid numbers, kill all of the /usr/bin/wine-preloader processes (there were four or five of them), one after the other. Then as user, wineboot worked. Wonder if this is usual?
Yes I seem to remember having to kill off some wine-preloader processes after failures but not sure if it was in this same context.
BTW try pgrep ;)
Even better, try 'killall wine-preloader' or 'killall -9 wine-preloader'. There's also pkill if you need to do a more sophisticated selection of the processes to kill. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U
