What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa Aug. 2, 2014

Aug. 2, 2014

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

winspool: ERROR_INVALID_NAME in GetDefaultPrinter() ?
by Detlef Riekenberg Oct. 9, 2013

Oct. 9, 2013

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

Wine desktop integration: current directory of app launched with doubleclick?
by Dan Kegel Feb. 15, 2009

Feb. 15, 2009

I *almost* have a great success story to report; the only thing keeping it from being a success story is the current directory chosen by Nautilus when double-clicking on .exe files. My wife hurt a finger trying to impersonate a Sampsonite Luggage gorilla, and had to go to a hand doctor. Along the way her hand got x-rayed, and the doctor handed her a cd-rom with the x-ray pictures on it. The disc has an autorun.inf on it that should start ViewSel.exe. I don't know if that's supposed to work with Wine and Nautilus, but probably doubleclicking on ViewSel.exe does the same thing. ViewSel.exe puts up two big buttons: low res (which launches a web browser on an html file), and high res (which launches a DICOM viewer). If you cd to the root of the cd-rom drive and run ViewSel, it works. If the current directory is anything else, it doesn't work. If you start the autorun app via Nautilus, those buttons don't work, so presumably it sets the current directory to something other than the root of the drive. To see, I created a wrapper shell script, ~/bin/mywine, containing #!/bin/sh pwd > /tmp/log and used "Start with" to launch ViewSel.exe with ~/bin/mywine. This showed that the current directory was $HOME. I had a look at the gnome code to see how it decided, but it was a bit hard to follow. (See gnome_vfs_mime_application_launch_with_env.) So I tried a little shell magic. I created a new wrapper shell script that assumes the argument is a path to a file, and sets the current directory to the directory containing that file: #!/bin/sh DIR=`dirname "$1"` DIR=`cd "$DIR"; pwd` cd "$DIR" wine "$@" That worked better; it let ViewSel.exe launch the DICOM viewer. So... I suppose the next step is to look at the debian/ubuntu packages for wine and see if that little wrapper script could be incorporated into the default way file browsers start wine? It sure would be nice if apps that expected the current directory to behave like this (it's not uncommon!) Just Worked. - Dan

"winefix" - interesting wrapper for wine

The status of the wintab dll
by Robert North Dec. 24, 2007

Dec. 24, 2007

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think after the 10 or more patches to the Wintab dll that I submitted last month, I should say something about it's status... And of course thank Alexandre for applying those patches. P.S. I won't be available from the 15th for about a week or so. So, if you have any questions, I'm afraid you might have to be patient. Hope this is of interest to someone -Rob. ******Applications: Current status*********** ***In Painter 5 *Cursor pressure works. (Therefore is usable by most) *Cursor orientation is a little odd: The orientation maths needs to be re-done. *No eraser. Haven't yet cracked what enables the eraser. *Doesn't work in desktop mode: Need to map to desktop coordinates. *Repeats windows bugs where cursor looses pressure/orientation info almost bug for bug (Is this a feature? ;-) *Cannot detect pressure/orientation int the "Brush Tracking" window: The tablet context is attached to the main window, so no events get to the popup, even if they overlap. This is not how windows wintab functions. ***In Photoshop 6. *Can only get tablet data in desktop mode: This is because the tablet context is attached to the desktop. Which generates/receives no wine events outside desktop mode. * Eraser and pen pressure working. *But* to get them working, you must have 3 XInput devices listed in your XF86Config file, They need to be the last entries in the "ServerLayout" section and the following order: eraser, tablet mouse. This is a far from ideal way of specifying the devices Wintab should use :-/ I'll document this if someone can point me to a good place to put the docs. *******To Do************* 1. Look at X11 errors. There appear to be some errors that deny some users the ability to access Wintab enabled apps. (I think I know how to fix this) 2. Improve orientation data. Orientation comes in as X-Y coords (Implicit Z), and has to leave as spherical coords. This calculation needs to be re-done. 3. When tablet context is on top, let it read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. (This simulates the fact that the context is usually designed to cover the whole screen) 4. When tablet context is attached to desktop, read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. 5. Tests ~ --My current philosophy on tests is... ~ Use Photoshop & Painter, any formal tests ~ can be written if anyone else gets involved in patching Wintab, to avoid regressions, and conflict. **********Long term to do (Anyone interested?):********* There's a lot of work that could be done here, but what gets done and who does it probably depends upon whether anyone finds an app that needs these features. I'd love to implement these, but realistically, I don't foresee doing this unless someone hires me to do so ;) 1. Improve configuration of wintab. Wintab could probably do with some information entered into the config file, to avoid the user having to hack their Xfree86cfg file. 2. Handle Z-Order of context properly. This entails *sharing Z-Order between apps. *Working out exactly what role windows have in determining tablet context z-orders. *Allow tablet contexts that don't cover the whole screen/tablet. *Handle inter-application clipping of tablet contexts *Allow all application's windows to receive tablet events when tablet context is on top 3. Implement non-system tablet contexts (Where system cursor not moved by pen or mouse) 4. Unicodify 5. Implement various wintab extensions. 6. Implement wintab manager functions. 7. Tests. *********Unknowns********* 1. How are wintab contexts are raised lowered? Contexts have their own z-order independent of windows, and their own viewport concept, based upon the tablet's coordinate system, not that of the OS. It appears that entering, or clicking on the window the tablet context is attached to will raise/lower the context. But I haven't done much testing on this. In particular, what happens if more than one app request their tablet context is attached to the desktop? 2. How Painter detects the eraser. Have 3 possibilities i. Windows can detect an eraser, and sends specific messages. (I'm sure I've seen this, but can't work out where!) ii. Only works if tablet and cursors are named correctly. (Probably linked to wacom tablets only). iii. I've missed something 3.

Direct3D Game test framework
by Stefan Dösinger Dec. 21, 2007

Dec. 21, 2007

Hi, Now that we're facing Direct3D 9 feature completion soon - VTF support coming in from Henri, High order patches and thread safety from me - the d3d work will change a bit soon. Instead of adding new features we'll debug games and improve performance. It would be good if we had some automated testing framework to support the process :-) Unfortunately this isn't easy. Games do not render exactly, so verifying that a game doesn't show any visual regressions automatically may be more effort than reward. Here I think we'll have to rely on users testing the games regularly and testing regressions. I am more concerned about the performance thing. It is very easy to make some performance improvement that does more harm than good. Also benchmarks take quite some time and are affected by many external parameters. So I'd like some automated and controlled performance testing environment. Instead of building one from scratch it would be cool if we could reuse existing software. cxtest comes to my mind(www.cxtest.org). It is a test suit built by codeweavers for running regression tests on Windows apps. It can remote control applications using keyboard input and compares screenshots to reference ones. It could be used to start benchmarks automatically. A plus here is that some machines run nightly tests. However, those are VMs, so no 3D acceleration. A problem is also reading back the results. Does anyone know some applications for doing that? Windows or Linux apps, commercial or open source ones(prefered, though). Then we need benchmarking apps. Here regular Windows benchmarks come to my mind(3DMarkXYZW), games with benchmark facilities(hl2, ut, ...). We can record tests, get a reference performance counter from windows and run nightly tests(or manually started tests). A problem we're facing is reading back the results. Taking screenshots and running OCR on them is error prone, we need a way to get the numbers from the benchmarks, not an image of the numbers. Now we need a concrete collection of benchmarks. A mixture of popular Benchmarks like 3DMark would be good, and some more cientific benchmarks. So far I have: 3DMark: Popular benchmark for testing the overall performance, doesn't give very detailed results though. Controlling: Standard windows controls, keyboard events should do the job Result readback: Can write results to a file, but must take care about the licensing. Not everything is free, most likely a license is needed. Half-Life 2: Nice facility of recordable timedemos. Can record average game demos, but also demos which stress specific features. Controlling: Command line parameters Result readback: Can be asked to copy the console into the clipboard UT2004: Popular engine. Has a Linux port, but many mods only ship the d3d renderer. Controlling: Unknown Result readback: unknown. DirectX sdk demos, nvidia / ati demos: Stress specific rendering features. Good for testing performance(with vsync removed), or a bad idea? Controlling, Readback: Source code is available and can be modified. License, especially possible benchmark clauses? Other suggestions? Another nice-to-have thing would be a game independent profiling method, simmilar to the +fps debug channel, just more detailed. Some games do not have built-in benchmarking, it would still be nice to use them. That means facing some new problems? How to tell loading from in-game rendering? How to remove control those games in a repeatable way, especially if there are some random elements in the game? More detailed data from wined3d could also be used to draw nice graphs for other benchmarks :-) We'll need some hardware diversity too. It would be nice if the tests worked on Linux and MacOS, and a variety of hardware was used. I want at least nvidia, ati and intel gpu's, older and newer ones. I could also revive my ATI mach64 :-) Any other comments or suggestions? I think once I'm done with the current exam season and my patch backlog is in I will retire from direct wined3d development for a few days / weeks to set up a testing environment, then start fixing games.

I don't know much about ntoskrnl.exe, but if you have a test driver, you may want to include it in the patch. Other libraries have a set of regression tests in dlls/<lib>/tests . ntoskrnl.exe doesn't have any yet, but I don't know if that is a policy or just because no one started it yet.

alsa->pulseaudio->alsa directsound hang
by Al Tobey Nov. 10, 2007

Nov. 10, 2007

I spent some time this evening playing around with trying to get wine sound output to go through pulseaudio on my fc8/rawhide (x86_64) box. I tried wine 0.9.43 (built), 0.9.47 (fc8 rpm), and Crossover 6.2.0. I was testing with Steam/TF2, but found that the same issue comes up with a install of Winamp Lite using its default DirectSound output plugin. If I configure nothing and let wine grab the soundcard (I have an Audigy, so it allows multiple streams), it works fine. If I configure it to use pulseaudio through the alsa plugin, it hangs. I see the stream show up in the pulseaudio volume control, but nothing plays and winamp's meter and progress bar are inactive. The "Test Sound" button in winecfg works and shows up in pavucontrol as a mono stream. I've tried numerous variations on emulation and bitrates with no change. I didn't have any luck getting the ESD support (which would go straight to PA) to even show up in winecfg, even after forcing it in regedit. I probably missed something obvious. I'll do some more debugging tomorrow, but I thought I'd throw my config out there for others to experiment with and ridicule. There isn't much out on Google about this kind of config yet, but I expect there will be more requests as the popularity of pulseaudio goes up, especially with the release of fc8. I think the latest Ubuntu has it enabled by default, too. Did anybody actually write a patch to directly support pulseaudio or was the earlier discussion devoid of code? My registry mods and .asoundrc for using the alsa/pulseaudio plugin are attached. Getting pulseaudio is left as an exercise to the reader ;) Thanks, -Al

CryptAcquireContext Failure, default/Type 024 requested

Wine currently supports types 001 and 012, but I have a new game attempting to use type 024 (Software\\Microsoft\\Cryptography\\Defaults \\Provider Types\\Type 024). I've googled, as well as searched MSDN, for a reference as to what the crypt provider type 024 even is with no success. Does anyone know? Looking through the advapi32.dll code, this looks like it might be a serious undertaking to implement. Is that estimation accurate? Does anyone have any tips or pointers about implementing an entire CSP in wine? I appreciate any help, keep up the good work all! Rob

I don't find when does the program call the PSDRV_ExtTextOut function. Can anybody help me? Thanks.

Valgrind and structs with holes

Nov. 2, 2007

Valgrind is a great tool, but if there's a struct with a hole in it, and we write that struct to a socket (say, to send it to the server), valgrind will likely complain that the hole is uninitialized. For instance, the warning ==3415== Syscall param writev(vector[1]) points to uninitialised byte(s) ==3415== at 0x40007F2: (within /lib/ld-2.6.1.so) ==3415== by 0x4412E24: wine_server_call (server.c:244) ==3415== by 0x43EBA73: server_ioctl_file (file.c:1010) ==3415== by 0x43EC570: NtFsControlFile (file.c:1223) ==3415== by 0x45394C1: WaitNamedPipeW (sync.c:1298) ==3415== by 0x453963B: WaitNamedPipeA (sync.c:1225) ==3415== by 0x46490B5: test_CreateNamedPipe (pipe.c:97) in kernel32/tests/sync.c can be silenced either by appeasing Valgrind with a patch like --- a/dlls/kernel32/sync.c +++ b/dlls/kernel32/sync.c @@ -1285,6 +1285,12 @@ BOOL WINAPI WaitNamedPipeW (LPCWSTR name, DWORD nTimeOut) return FALSE; } + /* FILE_PIPE_WAIT_FOR_BUFFER has a hole after boolean TimeoutSpecified. + * Clear the hole so valgrind doesn't get upset about uninitialized bytes. + * No need to zero Name[1...], which is initialized ok later. + */ + memset(pipe_wait, 0, sizeof(FILE_PIPE_WAIT_FOR_BUFFER)); or by using a suppression like { wine_struct_hole_FILE_PIPE_WAIT_FOR_BUFFER Memcheck:Param writev(vector[1]) obj:* fun:wine_server_call fun:server_ioctl_file fun:NtFsControlFile fun:WaitNamedPipeW } Alexandre, which approach would you prefer?

Wine Gecko packaging
by Jacek Caban Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

Hello, As you probably have noticed, downloading Gecko on first use confuses users. Now, with last week patches, there is an other way to do it, transparent for users. MSHTML code looks for cab file in $data_dir/gecko (that is usually /usr/share/wine/gecko). Alternatively, if you run Wine from build dir, it looks for $build_dir/../gecko. Wine checks it both in wineprefixcreate and, if Gecko is not installed, on first usage. It means that if you download wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab from SourceForge and put it in the right place, you will no longer have to care about installing Gecko. Now, it's time to consider Linux packages to simplify its use. In Gentoo it may be a separate USE flag, but for other distributions that don't support such things, we'll need a separate package. Such package will need only one file placed in the right place, so it should be easy to do and maintain (I don't expect versions to change often). Are Wine packagers interested in creating Gecko packages? Thanks, Jacek

Cleanup of riched20 tests - request for help on test_WM_PASTE
by Alex Villacís Lasso Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

I am currently trying to clean up the riched20 tests that are failing in WinXP. While doing this, I have encountered the following problem: on the function test_WM_PASTE() (at line 1959 of dlls/riched20/tests/editor.c in current git), the test is supposed to feed simulated keystrokes corresponding to Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, and so on, supposedly to test copy and paste features via the keyboard. The problem is that the verification at line 1989 fails on WinXP, because the text on the control has not been modified - the control seems to disregard simulated WM_CHAR messages of the Ctrl-<keystroke> variety. The test at line 1977 succeeds accidentally, because the sequence of Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Z that is being tested is equivalent to not modifying the control text at all. A more through test would be to send WM_GETTEXT messages after each step to ensure that the text is actually being modified, but the bigger problem is how to make the control obey the keystrokes in the first place. If I place a message loop right before the DestroyWindow() call, I can send keystrokes manually and they work as expected. Only simulated WM_CHAR messages are being discarded. I have tried changing the SendMessage() calls into PostMessage() calls (since Visual Studio's Spy++ shows that WM_CHAR messages were posted, not sent), but to no avail. I have also tried placing message loops between messages, with no luck. I have even tried to simulate the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages with parameters exactly as seen by Spy++, but this does not work either. So I am asking for help. What could be going wrong with this test? How can I feed the expected keystrokes so that the test works as expected? Has this test ever worked before? It fails in both WinXP (real machine) and inside a QEMU session running Win98. (All tests on WinXP were compiled with CygWin) -- perl -e '$x=2.4;print sprintf("%.0f + %.0f = %.0f\n",$x,$x,$x+$x);'

Re: Make test drill, next steps, call for help with Winetest
by Hans Leidekker Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

I have written attached script to facilitate automated winetest runs. It needs a VirtualBox virtual machine with either Windows or a Wine platform configured to run autorun.inf files. The script downloads the latest winetest binary and puts it in an iso image, along with an autorun file to trigger its execution when the image is 'inserted' into the virtual drive. A snapshot is used to revert the vm to its original state, so no need to worry about winetest screwing up your installation. -Hans #!/bin/bash if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 <vmname> <tag>" echo "" echo "vmname: Virtual machine to use (must be in suspended state). echo "tag: Tag built from [-.0-9a-zA-Z] to identify test report. exit 1 fi TMPDIR=/tmp/winetest$$ LOGFILE=$TMPDIR/log mkdir -p $TMPDIR/master echo "downloading winetest binary" wget -P $TMPDIR http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/winetest-latest.exe >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi mv $TMPDIR/winetest-latest.exe $TMPDIR/master/winetest.exe echo "creating autorun.inf" cat > $TMPDIR/master/autorun.inf <<_EOF_ [autorun] open=winetest.exe -q -t $2 _EOF_ echo "creating cd image" mkisofs -o $TMPDIR/winetest.iso $TMPDIR/master >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "checking vm $1 state" VBoxManage showvminfo $1 | grep "^State:" | grep "saved" >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "creating snapshot for vm $1" VBoxManage snapshot $1 take before-winetest >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "starting vm $1" VBoxManage startvm $1 >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "waiting until vm $1 is up and running" RUNNING="false" while [ $RUNNING != "true" ] do VBoxManage showvminfo $1 | grep "^State:" | grep "running" >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then RUNNING="true" fi sleep 1 done echo "attaching cd image to vm $1" VBoxManage controlvm $1 dvdattach $TMPDIR/winetest.iso >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "sleeping while vm $1 runs winetest" sleep 1800 # 30 minutes should be enough for winetest to finish echo "suspending vm $1" VBoxManage controlvm $1 savestate >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi echo "waiting until vm $1 is suspended" SAVED="false" while [ $SAVED != "true" ] do VBoxManage showvminfo $1 | grep "^State:" | grep "saved" >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then SAVED="true" fi sleep 1 done echo "reverting vm $1 to previous state" VBoxManage snapshot $1 discardcurrent -all >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi rm -rf $TMPDIR exit 0

Bug in dlls/oleaut32/tests/vartype.c?
by Gerald Pfeifer Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

dlls/oleaut32/tests/vartype.c has the following snippet of code: + f = -1e-400; /* deliberately cause underflow */ + hres = pVarBstrFromR4(f, lcid, 0, &bstr); + ok(hres == S_OK, "got hres 0x%08lx\n", hres); + if (bstr) + { + todo_wine ok(memcmp(bstr, szZero, sizeof(szZero)) == 0, "negative zero (got %s)\n", wtoascii(bstr)); + } which was added in revision 1.27 Alex Villacís Lasso <a_villacis(a)palosanto.com> Test for behavior of negative underflow formatting. This doesn't seem to work as intended, because it is a floating point *constant* which current versions of GCC simply truncate to 0.0.

Tips needed for debugging Skype on Wine (Access violation)
by Paul Vriens Oct. 31, 2007

Oct. 31, 2007

Hi, I'm trying to get Skype 3.5.0.39 running on Wine (latest Git). The app however throws an 'Access violation at address 00593AD1 in module "Skype.exe". Read of address FFFFFFFF'. I've set set the version to XP. I do find that when I apply this "patch": diff --git a/dlls/kernel32/process.c b/dlls/kernel32/process.c index a08235a..d4349d7 100644 --- a/dlls/kernel32/process.c +++ b/dlls/kernel32/process.c @@ -2819,7 +2819,7 @@ BOOL WINAPI IsWow64Process(HANDLE hProcess, PBOOL Wow64Process) { FIXME("(%p %p) stub!\n", hProcess, Wow64Process); *Wow64Process = FALSE; - return TRUE; + return FALSE; } the application has no issues starting up (several other issues remain). Is this an exception that Windows catches and we don't perhaps? The application runs fine on my Windows XP box. Tried to use several debugchannels but to no avail. -- Cheers, Paul.
