Release schedule after release?
by Holly Bostick Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

Looking at the current user docs raised a question as to how to update the 'Getting Wine' section. I know from the past that many users don't know that Wine has been up to this point on a monthly release schedule. Between this ignorance, and binary distributions' stable and unstable trees, the average user may frankly be using 'any old version' (meaning, one cannot even hazard a guess as to what the 'most likely version' they might have is, one has to ask each user specifically) of Wine when they show up on wine-user with questions. So I find it important to document this and hopefully get everybody more or less on the same page, as it were --or at least within a known range of pages. Hopefully, for the release, we could count on that for a limited time, since it is to be hoped that 'everyone' will upgrade to or install that instead of some other previous beta. But the docs, of course, have to be valid for the future as well as (to a limited extent) the past. So how will one "Get Wine" after the release? Will there continue to be monthly public betas? Or will the release schedule change? Will the binary policy change? Meaning that the public betas (if they still exist) will not be available in distribution repositories, but Wine will now maintain its own stable and unstable trees, and only releases will be available to the distro repositories? Will there be different policies or levels of availability for different distros (maybe a Knoppix user will be able to get the unstable beta builds from Sid contrib, but a SuSE user won't)? What should I tell the people? Thanks for any guidance, Holly

winedbg not starting
by Uwe Bonnes Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

Hello, AVRStudio.exe hits an unimplemented msxml function and tries to start the debugger. For me this fails: /home/wine/wine/wine AvrStudio4/AVRStudio.exe fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:msxml:domdoc_createNode wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... err:winedbg:main Invalid event handle: 0x100 I run wine from the compilation directory, so I use the full path to wine. Aedebug has also the full path to winedbg. In a log.

Re: Lotus Notes 6.51 on Wine 20050930 - Got it working

Hi Kevin, glad you got it working. > Triaged the crash to a change on 8/15/2005 at 9:51CDT. The patch at > this time, changes the default version from WIN98 to NT2K > Ran winecfg and set the default version to Win98 > Restated Notes and the application works and saving attachments works Cool. Care to update the appdb entry? Also, the reason it doesn't work in NT mode seems to be that Notes, in NT mode, calls NtQueryVirtualMemory on another process. As this isn't supported (yet?) in Wine, that fails. --Juan __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

AppDb account problem
by Francois Gouget Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

A bit over a week ago I received an email telling me that my AppDb account would soon get deleted due to inactivity. I don't really remember creating an AppDb account but it is possible I did. So I went there to check it out but of course I could not remember my password. So I typed my email address and clicked on 'Email me a New Password' but got the following error message: Sorry, that user (fgouget%40free.fr) does not exist. So I tried my other email address and got the same message. So at this point I see two possibilities: * I don't have an account on the AppDb. Why did I receive an email saying my AppDb account was inactive then? * Or there is a bug in the 'Email a New Password' functionality. Maybe it's the '%40' causing the problem? Either it's a bug in the AppDb code so I thought it would be good to report the problem here. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ tcA thgirypoC muinelliM latigiD eht detaloiv tsuj evah uoY

Re: file dialog crashes
by Molle Bestefich Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

I'd like to make another observation regarding the file selection dialog. If I mount my CDROM drive and add a link to /dosdevices/, Wine's regedit.exe hangs in the file open dialog. I can do "ls /mnt/cdrom" in an xterm with no problems at all. So my first thought is that the CDROM has a bad block, and that it happens to be inside one of the .exe files in the root of the CD, exactly where it has it's icon resource. I did a "cp /mnt/cdrom/* /root" which revealed that autorun.inf has bad blocks. Not a big problem so far. But now take a look at "top", specifically "wine-preloader": ============================================= top - 14:45:02 up 31 min, 5 users, load average: 1.56, 0.77, 0.35 Tasks: 90 total, 1 running, 89 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 1.8% us, 1.5% sy, 0.0% ni, 43.8% id, 52.6% wa, 0.3% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 513656k total, 508708k used, 4948k free, 1712k buffers Swap: 1052216k total, 245348k used, 806868k free, 57676k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 10439 root 18 0 2201m 361m 812 D 1.0 72.2 0:02.43 wine-preloader 10319 root 15 0 51944 23m 7852 S 0.3 4.7 0:52.57 firefox-bin ============================================= 'wine-preloader' is at 2.2 GB, with 360 MB of those resident. And it's running regedit.exe. If anyone can give me any pointers about where or how to fix this, I'd be happy to take a look. Otherwise it'll go to Bugzilla (where I'll probably have to create an account - sigh ;-)).

How to fix the permission stuff.
by Bill Medland Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

Advice please. This looks a little too big to be done without discussion. This stems from Michael Ost's CreateFile issue and is much more fundamental than the SHARE settings. Consider. ...CreateFile (.... FILE_READ_DATA...) ...ReadFile (...) That is sensible and perfectly legal under Windows but fails under Wine due to an inadequate handling of the generic vs specific permissions. It seems to me that the fix to this minor problem includes: a. Extending the server's Object concept (or at least the ops structure) to include the relevant GENERIC_MAPPING definition for the object. b. Extend the testing in handle.c so that the test of access takes into account the fact that the granted permissions might be generic whilst the requested is specific, and vice versa. This requires a in order to know how to do the conversion. c. Fix up calls to be a little more sensible in their requests. For example ReadFile does not need GENERIC_READ; it only needs FILE_READ_DATA. Alternatively we could specify that the access settings held for a handle in the server are only specific and the appropriate object's code is responsible for converting from generic to specific.

Lotus Notes 6.51 on Wine 20050930 - Got it working
by Kevin DeKorte Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

Here are a couple of notes on making Lotus Notes 6.51 work on Wine 20050930 The previous version of Wine that worked properly was 20050725. I upgraded to Wine 20050930 and restarted Notes. Notes crashed and complained about usp10 missing some entry points I ran wineprefixcreate (Note that you cannot go back to Wine 20050725 after you do this, so back up you .wine tree before running this) Ran winecfg and set usp10 to Windows Only Restarted Notes Notes seemed to work until I tried to save an attachment, then it crashed Triaged the crash to a change on 8/15/2005 at 9:51CDT. The patch at this time, changes the default version from WIN98 to NT2K Ran winecfg and set the default version to Win98 Restated Notes and the application works and saving attachments works Triaging the version change was a lot of work to find out that I just needed to change the default version. Took me nearly a day to find it. If I switch back the version to default, the crash happens everytime. I believe a file selection dialog is being loaded and there is a problem with that dialog in NT2K mode and it causes a crash. The other thing that is odd is that the layout of the screen between WIN98 mode and NT2k mode is slightly different in 20050930, mainly on the widget that lists the messages.

Help translating Japanese error message in installer
by Alex Villacís Lasso Oct. 4, 2005

Oct. 4, 2005

There is a Japanese RPG I am trying to install, which I downloaded from: http://www.i-o.jp/game/mizukake/mizukake_trial.zip This installer runs fine under Windows 98, but fails in Wine. I believe this to be some kind of trivial error, but I cannot read Japanese, so I am unable to diagnose what is going wrong with this installer. A screenshot of the error message is attached. Could somebody who can read Japanese please translate this screenshot for me, so that I can know what is the issue the installer is complaining about? Alex Villacís Lasso
