AppDB new design: Top 10s still look ugly
by André Hentschel Feb. 15, 2009

Feb. 15, 2009

Hello, Bug #16466 is declared as fixed. but it isnt. my patch should do something else. I wanted let each top 10 in its own color(platin, gold or bronce) and not to have the platin-look for all. anything went wrong while using my patch. maybe the other patch went in, too? It should be this style: http://www.funplugged.bplaced.net/appdb/

Proposal: put Winetricks into Wine menu
by Dan Kegel Feb. 15, 2009

Feb. 15, 2009

I know, when I wrote Winetricks, I meant it as a developers' tool only. But... then... people started using it, and it made sense to provide it as a way to download missing visual C++ runtimes etc. for average users. Quite a few newbies trip over the fact that it needs cabextract installed. Let's make it easy for folks, actually package it up along with Wine (SuSE does this already), and put it in the Wine menu right beneath "Uninstall Windows Software". What do people think? It might make life easier for a lot of folks. (And, come to think of it, we should include some documentation in that menu. "man wine" just doesn't cut it for the average gui user, and "wine manual page" in the gnome help browser is a broken link. But that's a separate issue.) - Dan

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

That way, they should up in the release notes. Dan brought it up on another bug, and I agree...but figured it should be brought up here. Thoughts? -- -Austin

Re: mshtml: allow REG_EXPAND_SZ values for GeckoCabDir

Re: Proposal: put Winetricks into Wine menu
by Dan Kegel Feb. 14, 2009

Feb. 14, 2009

So, for people packaging wine, here's a proposed plan: 0. See http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks if you're not familiar with winetricks 1. Download http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks (or get it via svn, see http://code.google.com/p/winezeug ) It's a monolithic shell script, so you don't need to compile it or anything. 2. Move it to /usr/bin and do chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks 3. Add a dependecy on cabextract, sha1sum, and wget or curl. 4. In your package's changelog, note which version of Winetricks you pulled down. You'll want to pull down a fresh one every time you package Wine, as it contains download URLs that occasionally go stale. (In particular, I need to update the gecko URL for wine-1.1.5, I'll do that today.) The Suse packages already do all the above steps, I think; you might ask Marcus Meissner if you want to confirm the details. Here's the part that I don't think anybody does yet: 5. Add a menu item under Applications / Wine that runs /usr/bin/winetricks. In Ubuntu, the existing menu items are Programs Browse C: Drive Configure Wine Uninstall Wine Software Assuming we name the menu item Winetricks, the menu would then look like Programs Browse C: Drive Configure Wine Uninstall Wine Software Winetricks Now, at some point we should come up with a better menu item name than Winetricks, but I have no idea how to sum it up properly. winetricks has a fair bit of name recognition, and requires no localization, so let's run with that name until we figure out what it should really be called, and what the GUI really should look like in the end. (We also need a menu item there for "Help Using Wine", but nobody's written that yet. It can't just be links to the FAQ, since it has to work while offline.) Sound good? - Dan

GSoC 2009 coming up
by Kai Blin Feb. 14, 2009

Feb. 14, 2009

Hi folks, the organization application period for GSoC 2009 is starting on March 9th, so it's time to get our http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode wiki page in shape again. Detlef Riekenberg and Roderick Colenbrander made a good start, so if the rest of you could check and make sure that all the projects on there still make sense? We should also investigate possible changes to the requirements (weekly reports to the mailing list come to mind). Maarten, any comments? Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin WorldForge developer http://www.worldforge.org/ Wine developer http://wiki.winehq.org/KaiBlin Samba team member http://www.samba.org/samba/team/ -- Will code for cotton.

msvcrt:file test failures under wine and winetest
by Austin Lund Feb. 14, 2009

Feb. 14, 2009

I've been playing around with the odd failure that occurs on some platforms for the msvcrt:file tests. http://test.winehq.org/data/6a1537c4b5037be5253c33021fda3a02430533f7/#group… I am able to recreate it on my computer running ubuntu 8.10. (tag: apl-u810-dell630) I was trying to nail down what exactly problem was when I found the following: $ ./programs/winetest/winetest -o out -c msvcrt:file 2> /dev/null && tail -n 8 out Test output: msvcrt:file start dlls/msvcrt/tests/file.c - file: 3 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 1 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 5 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 5 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 462 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. msvcrt:file done (0) It seemed to succeed when it was the only test run. I played around for a bit with this and found the combination of tests which causes the failure: $ ./programs/winetest/winetest -o out -c msvcrtd:debug msvcrt:file 2> /dev/null && tail -n 13 out Test output: msvcrtd:debug start dlls/msvcrtd/tests/debug.c - debug: 2 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. msvcrtd:debug done (0) msvcrt:file start dlls/msvcrt/tests/file.c - file: 3 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 1 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file.c:1057: Test failed: fstat(stdin) failed: errno=2 file.c:1066: Tests skipped: stdin is not a char device? st_mode=100666 file: 5 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 5 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 0 failures), 0 skipped. file: 458 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 1 failure), 1 skipped. msvcrt:file done (1) Also of note is that when doing "make test" this failure never occurs. So whatever is going on, it is a strange interaction between msvcrtd:debug msvcrt:file tests and winetest. Another point to make is that the error that corresponds to errno=2 is "No such file or directory", which is an odd message for a filedes which is meant to be stdin. Does anyone have any tips on what to look at to nail this one down?
