[Bug 2358] New: MS Excel regression - can't save valid files
by Wine Bugs July 14, 2004

July 14, 2004

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2358 Summary: MS Excel regression - can't save valid files Product: Wine Version: 20040615 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: winehq(a)nanonanonano.net With versions of wine up to and including Wine-20040309, I could get MS Excel 2000 could open, close and save files without incident. Subsequent versions (20040408 onwards, including 20040615, which is currently installed) still generate a file when you File->Save, however, the file is now not a valid excel file and cannot be opened with Excel running under Wine, under Windows or with OpenOffice. Excel reports "File format is not valid", while OpenOffice just crashes. Since there is no warning that the file is invalid, this results in data loss. Example: 1. Start excel 2. File->Save, enter a filename 3. Exit excel 4. Restart excel 5. File->Open, select file. "File format is invalid" message displayed. I will upload an example (invalid) file as an attachment. -- 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 2356] HD reported as device when mountpoint matches logical link in dosdevices
by Wine Bugs July 14, 2004

July 14, 2004

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2356 ------- Additional Comments From winehq(a)nanonanonano.net 2004-13-07 20:07 ------- Hi all, thanks for the frenzy of activity on this one... wow! Unfortunately I don't have time to test the patch at the moment. I can, however, give a workaround that seems OK (based on some discussion on this thread): cd ~/.wine/dosdevices ln -s / z\: ln -s /dev/zero z\:\: (/dev/null was also suggested, but that gives an error an then fails). With this in place, the open/save dialogues work for word2k adn excel2k. Regarding testing this with notepad: wine-notepad and several other more complex apps (Endnote and Origin) do not suffer from this problem. The common thing about the apps that don't work is that they use the fancy Open/Save dialogue that has the buttons for Home Desktop etc down the left, while the apps that do work use the simpler (older/traditional) Open/Save dialogue. thanks, all!

[Bug 2273] X error

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2273 ------- Additional Comments From philip.dicke(a)raytheon.com 2004-13-07 17:24 ------- The section of code in question is responsible for drawing bitmaps as disabled. If I just don't do the "if" statement, grey boxes are displayed instead of disabled Icons. This is probably the same bug as <a href="http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2285">2285</a> and possible bug <a href="http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447">447</a> Can someone please add the keyword FIXME to this. -- 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=2356 ------- Additional Comments From rklazes(a)xs4all.nl 2004-13-07 07:56 ------- OK, I see now that the warning happens with notepad as well. It is wine that does this in an attempt to read the disk label and perhaps serial number in dlls/kernel/volume.c function GetVolumeInformationW(). With notepad however I have no problem opening this drive. -- 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=2356 ------- Additional Comments From rklazes(a)xs4all.nl 2004-13-07 06:08 ------- >> I was thinking it was the RW permissions of /dev/hdb5 . > Maybe or maybe not. If I where Linux I would never let any program accessing a > mounted partition directly. But I'm rather a newbie in the Linux world and > does not know much about the internals. Linux allows this (with the right perms set) and Windows allows this. You should at least try the result with Read permissions. > That is exactly what I was trying to state. And for that reason the > resolving of the drive letter L: directly to the device /dev/hdb5 makes > no sense. Wine should return a simulated windows volume which is > actually mapped through the wine layer to the directory structure. In Windows "return a simulated windows volume" *means* a device and *not* a directory or file. In your case is asks for a volume and not a directory or file. And Wine is never bothered whether is makes sense or not. > Therefor I came up with the idea to depend the behavior on the filesystem > in fstab. A harddisk filesystem means to ignore that dosdevices/l: points > to a mount point and the path is handled the same way as any other path. > Maybe one could add a override possibility in the config file to reactivate > the current behaviour for a drive lette, even if I could not think about > an app which would require this. Ignoring the possibility that some unrelated bug is confusing us, there is already one application that is using this feature: yours. By some luck your application works when wine cannot find the device, but the next time you may not be lucky again. In this light I believe it is unlikely that such a change would be allowed in the official Wine tree. Rather look for a workaround with the dosdevices/l:: link, perhaps pointing it to /dev/null or /dev/zero works. >> Did you happen to notice what the CreateFile() returns and what the >> LastError() was in those cases? > I'm sorry, but I have not.

Since > programming in Java for several years now I found even reading C a bit of > an adventure :D Create a +relay,+file logfile by running wine like: WINEDEBUG=+relay,+file wine ... &>wine.log (fill in the dots with your program and arguments) Open in an editor and search for the offending CreateFile() kernel call. Next look for the return and note the "ret=value". A value of ffffffff or 0 is an error, a small integer is success. Look for an GetLastError() call following this. The return value indicates the reason for the failure, error codes are in include/winerror.h Create an attachment with part of the logs, so we can have a look. -- 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=2356 winehq(a)nanonanonano.net changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |winehq(a)nanonanonano.net ------- Additional Comments From winehq(a)nanonanonano.net 2004-13-07 04:14 ------- I can verify that this is also the case for wine-20040615. If I have a symlink in ~/.wine/dosdevices that points to a directory that is listed in /etc/fstab, then some applications are unable to open that drive in their file open/save dialogues (notably, word2k and excel2k). i.e.: e: -> /tmp /dev/hda6 -> /tmp Causes word2k and excel2k to be unable to access the e: drive from the file-open and file-save dialogues. An "access denied" error is shown if you go via the icon, but not if you go via the quick-pick dropdown box at the top (silently fails). If, however, the symlink is to a directory that is not listed in fstab, then it works fine. i.e. e: -> /tmp/wine/ /dev/hda6 -> /tmp then all works as desired. Now this is only a *workaround* and it only works for some mount points... the case making / your z: drive is an obvious example that can't be easily solved in this way. This is a case of regression... this used to work fine and now doesn't. It also means that the treatment of the drives is different in wine depending on whether they are listed in fstab or not... that doesn't seem to be logical. -- 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.
