Better Debugging Possibilities for Wine on Ubuntu
by Stephan Hermann April 18, 2007

April 18, 2007

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Colleagues, As Scott Ritchie knows, I'm at the moment the reponsible person for Wine on Ubuntu. I hope that you all know, Ubuntu has a new system for filing crash reports and stacktraces. (named apport aka automatic crash reports, some documentation is found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport) Those reports are working quite well for all apps in Ubuntu, but not as expected for Wine, especially when windows apps are involved. We discussed yesterday about this problem, and now we want your help, to make things better. What we need from you: - What do you need from us (Ubuntu) to get better backtraces when wine crashes (especially wine-preloader) - How can we work together in a better way? (e.g. crashreport will be filed in launchpad (http://www.launchpad.net) automatically, can we file a bugreport automatically in your bugzilla?) - If yes, what information do you really need, what can we tell the users, who are reporting those crashes, what they have to do to fullfill your needs for the bugreport and debugging (e.g. try to reproduce the crash while running wine in gbd, doing a backtrace with bt full, or what so ever) Finally, we would like to have more involvement of you, Wine Developers, to make Wine a vital piece of software for Ubuntu. And now a little call for help to Scott Ritchie :) Scott, we talked some time ago about having you in our MOTU team, for maintaining not only debian/ubuntu packages at winehq, but also for Ubuntu. We, the Ubuntu MOTU team, and I personally think, this would be quite good having you on board. I know, that you are working hard on your packages, and we need your help. If you want, please get in touch with me (email: sh(a)sourcecode,de or jabber JID:sh(a)linux-server.org) and let's discuss how we can get you easily in our MOTU team. Thanks for your attention, Stephan aka \sh @ freenode.net - -- Stephan Hermann Ubuntu Developer http://launchpad.net/~shermann shermann(a)ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGJcYqwYnnM8CY76gRApcrAJ4xIsAUY7pLQTGzfTXIf47jIrnmywCfSTiG yX7HXj4ZzR1WiKzy+IUlXwE= =BssM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

current CVS behavior - uninstall not uninstalling man pages
by sol11x86＠comcast.net April 18, 2007

April 18, 2007

While testing another "feature", I did a gmake uninstall and noticed that my man pages were still in /opt/wine/share/man/man1. Has anyone noticed this regression? Ben

Why are some fonts being displayed incorrectly
by Bill Medland April 18, 2007

April 18, 2007

Can anyone point me in the correct direction for this? On one machine the text displays correctly. On the other the characters are totally wrong If I install the arial32.exe then the characters are displayed correctly and attractively If I remove the sserife.fon (and the arial fonts) then the characters are displayed correctly but unattractively, something like a courier font or similar. Both machines are using freetype-2.1.9-5 The first also includes freetype-devel but presumably that doesn't matter. How do I figure out why the characters are being drawn incorrectly? (Installing the arial32 is not a long-term solution) Bill

programs/uninstaller: check HKCU for uninstall entries [Try #2]
by Tom Spear April 18, 2007

April 18, 2007

Submitting for approval to here before I send to wine-patches This pretty much changes most of the functions in the uninstaller to handle arrays so that we can actually handle scanning HKCU as well as HKLM. In my tests, this did not break anything, and allows entries listed in uninstall for both HKLM and HKCU to be seen, as well as allowing them to be uninstalled. This version of the patch does not duplicate code, like the old one did, and causes no additional warnings when compiling. Comments, questions, feel free. -- Thanks Tom Check out this new 3D Instant Messenger called IMVU.

BTW the apport doc is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport and it would be great if some systemy sort of guy had a look. I'll see if I can find somebody to... I would myself, but I can't type enough to get any real work done these days. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv
