[Bug 29341] New: Wine fails to populate its prefix if ~/.wine points to a non-existent directory
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29341 Bug #: 29341 Summary: Wine fails to populate its prefix if ~/.wine points to a non-existent directory Product: Wine Version: 1.3.34 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wineserver AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem(a)mailcity.com Classification: Unclassified I have several wine prefixes but I want to keep the default ~/.wine temporary thus I created a symbolic link from ~/.wine to /tmp/wine. I do it because I don't want to have temporary software kept (and survive reboots) at all. The problem is that my /tmp folder is a tmpfs mount point thus after every (re)boot /tmp is empty and /tmp/wine doesn't exist any longer. In this case wine fails to run with this message: wine: chdir to /home/username/.wine : No such file or directory Please, allow such a usage scenario (e.g. try to create ~/.wine regardless). -- 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.

Like in /etc/rc.local or any other /etc/rcX from your distro? You're giving an invalid link to wine. As far as I understand it's different than giving a non-existant directory. -- 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.

Wineserver explicitly checks for that, and errors out if it's not a directory. Invalid. Your Wine is probably modified and have this check removed. -- 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.

Tashkinov <t.artem(a)mailcity.com> 2011-12-14 02:42:32 CST --- A lot of applications I have installed here just create their files regardless, so how it can be difficult for Wine to do the same (without checking for errors), and only after that check if it can chdir to 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.
