wineconsole exits immediately (Wine 20050310 debian sarge/testing)
Hello, I was trying to run wcmd, it seems to have been renamed wineconsole. However, unfortunately it exits immediately before producing a DOS command prompt in my terminal like wcmd used to. I think this is a bug, (unless I missed something). $ wineconsole Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin wineconsole.exe ... Wine exited with a successful status $ I thought that maybe there was an argument I needed to pass, but there isn't a man page, or command line --help /? help unfortunately at present. $ wineconsole --help Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin wineconsole.exe --help ... err:wineconsole:WinMain Wrong command line options Wine exited with a successful status $ wineconsole /? Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin wineconsole.exe /? ... Wine exited with a successful status $ I am not on this list, please include my email address in any replies.

I forgot to mention. my terminal (KDE Konsole) is broken after running those commands and no appearance of wineconsole. man and other terminal applications do not display correctly, I have to clear the terminal or restart it to get it working again. When running other win32 software such as Call of Duty the terminal still works when I exit the game. I am not on this list, please include my email address in any replies.

Hi Michael, Thank you for your quick response. [...]

No, wcmd is still there, wineconsole is only the "terminal emulation window". If you want wcmd call it something like: wineconsole --backend=user wcmd
Ok, I gave that a shot: $ wineconsole --backend=user wcmd Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin wineconsole.exe --backend=user wcmd ... err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font wineconsole: spawning client program failed (L"wcmd"), invalid/missing command line arguments ? Wine exited with a successful status ]$ lrwxrwxrwx 1 now3d now3d 25 2005-05-06 19:36 wcmd.exe -> /usr/lib/wine/wcmd.exe.so That symbolic link is not flashing, but I noticed the file it points to does not exist. I attatched the list of files I do have in /usr/lib/wine/ Is it not possible to just type "wcmd" in bash like we used to be able to? could that not be a default or even a shell script which ran "wineconsole --backend=user wcmd" if that is now the way to run things ?

Is it not possible to just type "wcmd" in bash like we used to be able to? could that not be a default or even a shell script which ran "wineconsole --backend=user wcmd" if that is now the way to run things ? Worksforme(TM). Seems your wine installation is broken/incomplete. I mean both methods work "wcmd" and "wineconsole --backend=user wcmd". The later one runs a console which is fully compatible to that on Windows and some programs rely on that. And it has also the advantage that the wine debugging output (FIXME/ERR) don't clutter the output.

Install the wine-utils package. It is a suggested package for wine, but should be more recommended than suggested. Vincent

Ok, thank you; it now works. Perhaps there could be a stub which informs users that wcmd is not avialable because wine-utils was not installed? Kind regards JG -- Homepage: http://jguk.org/ Blog: http://jguk.org/blog.rss Radio: http://jguk.org/#radio
