http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971 --- Comment #288 from Tomasz Sałaciński <tsalacinski(a)gmail.com> 2009-12-07 12:06:47 --- (In reply to comment #287) > Then someone should step up and organize the "hacks" in a Wiki entry, so that > you can decide which one to use for a specific situation / game / application. > Obviously this has to be someone else than Vitaliy. Something that may be called winehacks.org? :> I understand Vitaliy's approach, because neither users or developers want "hacky" code in WINE. But, there are some other hacks in WINE that work for now (fallback to X server - DIB engine not present). IMHO discussion about hacks should be somewhere else, maybe there should be another section like "Hacks" in WINE's website menu? With information that WINE developers DO NOT SUPPORT these hacks and if someone is using hacked WINE must not post bugs. This could help some people to play the game they really want without thinking that their copy of wine won't run another game because they don't really want to play it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Anything that can improve the situation should be welcome, whether they are hacks or not. Though I do agree that the attachment list is cluttered and could be a lot better organised, since right now there are a lot of patches to choose from yet there isn't much information on what they do and what they don't. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

And do not turn it > into a forum for clueless people about how to compile Wine! Don't you think it's a bit arrogant to be the one to define what's a dirty hack and what is not? If everything that resembles a hack should disappear from wine we could deleted a large percentage of the codebase - see e.g. the current discussion about the soundsystem on the mailing list. Considering how long this bug here has existed and considering even more the time it will STILL exist, it's VERY counterproductive to discourage the creation of such (what YOU call) "hacks".... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971 --- Comment #284 from haarp <liquitsnake(a)gmx.net> 2009-12-07 10:49:24 --- (In reply to comment #282) > People please keep this dirty hacks outside of bugzilla. And do not turn it > into a forum for clueless people about how to compile Wine! Sorry, but I don't think that's the right thing to do. I agree with the help forum part. But disallowing 'hacks' is not really the right course If you ask me. People come here looking for progress and solutions for their problem. The real fix is still months (years?) away and you can't expect them to wait for that long. The hack is a temporary solution. Hacks get posted in other bugs every day. Hell, even Wine itself already contains a 'force' hack. force-box is simply the logical extension of that, and works well so far for many people. I don't see why it should be forbidden. Yes - it's no proper fix. The current Wine philospohy is not to adopt such things. I accept that. But for the sake of completeness, keep it in Bugzilla. I know that you, Vitaliy, have far more experience on that matter than anybody else. I'm not doubting your authority on this. But I don't agree either. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971 --- Comment #283 from Clarence Risher <sparr0(a)gmail.com> 2009-12-07 10:48:18 --- I concur on the subject of compilation instructions. However, I disagree regarding patches/hacks. If there is a bug that affects 5 games, and we have no global solution, where other than in that bug report do you suggest keeping the 5 distinct-but-related patches that solve the problem in thos particular games? Assuming that the contents of the patches are of use to a developer who might finally fix the bug, keeping them on 5 separate appdb pages seems counterproductive. Also, marking the patches obsolete is both inaccurate and spam-generating. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 20931] New: Nox crashes with "nested exception on signal stack..."
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 7, 2009

Dec. 7, 2009

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20931 Summary: Nox crashes with "nested exception on signal stack..." Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: megatog615(a)gmail.com This is the only line that I get in the console: err:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in thread 0020 eip 7efb967d esp 7ffdbc7c stack 0x242000-0x340000 I am running Wine 1.1.33 on Debian Testing/Unstable on an AMD64 machine(in x86-64) using the lamaresh repo for Wine. I have only encountered this problem in Nox so I am assuming it's a problem with Nox. This error occurs at random during gameplay. The application either will hard-lock, requiring an alt-tab to the console and a ctrl-c to end, or will just die. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
