[Bug 1375] New: - Pasting a large text on a dialog doesn't have any effect
by wine-bugs＠winehq.com 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375 Summary: Pasting a large text on a dialog doesn't have any effect Product: Wine Version: 20030115 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com ReportedBy: felipewd(a)elipse.com.br Please see the attached source file coded by Cesar Mello (mello(a)elipse.com.br) and the attached text file. Trying to paste (Ctrl+V) the context the text file on the "About 1" about dialog doesn't have any effects. This looks critical, because the user isn't able to paste big stuff on a dialog, preventing important programs to work correctly (like our script editor, for example). Does anyone have an idea about this? Felipe DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375>.

[Bug 1373] New: - ODBC connection failure
by wine-bugs＠winehq.com 07 Apr '03

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1373 Summary: ODBC connection failure Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com ReportedBy: tim.ruehsen(a)openmediasystem.de With wine-20030317 (got it as rpm and srpm from SuSE) the calls to MFC DBase.Open(...) fails while it is working fine with SuSE wine-20020812 (rpm). I am using unixODBC 2.2.2 with mySQL 3.23.52 drivers. The application source is under control of my collegue and written with VC++/MFC. We made lots of tests, but did not get these lines working (with the newer wine version): CDatabase DBase; char buf[128]; try { // This fails and a DB exception is thrown sprintf(buf,"ODBC;DSN=%.100s",DefaultConnect); DBase.Open(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,_T(buf),FALSE); } e->m_strError gives something like (from german) 'Failed to connect to host'. As strace shows, there is a connection, some data exchange and after that a connection shutdown. After removing wine-20030317 and re-installion of wine-20020812 everything works well (again).

[Bug 1223] - Keyboard layout detection problem
by wine-bugs＠winehq.com 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223 ------- Additional Comments From tim.ruehsen(a)openmediasystem.de 2003-04-07 05:55 ------- I have (almost) the same problem with a german pc 105 keyboard layout. Starting nay app results in fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not found! Using closest match instead (German keyboard layout without dead keys) for scancode mapping. If it matters: I have XFree 4.3.0, qt 3.1.2, kde 3.1.1, kernel 2.4.20. Maybe it is a XFree 4.3.0 issue? Older Wine together with Xfree 4.2.x worked fine. But I can not downgrade to find out, which of it causes the issue. Here is the InputDevice section from XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc105 ]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection If someone needs more info, please contact me via email.

[Bug 1361] - Regression - DirectX sound isn't working properly for some games
by wine-bugs＠winehq.com 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361 ------- Additional Comments From reif(a)earthlink.net 2003-04-06 20:21 ------- Are you using a microphone with half-life? If so (or even if not), the problem may be related to bug 1363. In the [dsound] section of the config file, add: "HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation" and see if that helps. If so, then the real fix will have to wait until I finish the direct sound capture driver.

It's a counter-measure. b) because wineinstall configures the Wine environment for a *specific* user. (a Wine configuration is not "global") Thus you need start with this specific user, and when it wants to install the Wine files on your system, you are supposed to provide the root password. > Why am I told to run wineinstall as root to generate a global wine.conf > (if I refuse to make a local one), when wineinstall refuses to be ran as root? Hmm, if it still says that, then it's a bug. A global wine.conf is deprecated. Yep, it's a bug. > Finally, why can't wineinstall be incorporated in: make install? Because make install shouldn't do what wineinstall does. And the other way around. make install simply installs the compiled Wine files on the system, whereas wineinstall is a "one size fits all" for lazy users which configures everything down to the kitchen sink :-) Confirming, since wineinstall still talks about wine.conf DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372>.

Why does wineinstall further assume the current user has write access to the wine source root? I don't see why I must chown my entire source as a regular user, then su to that user, then install, and be asked for the root password so that wineinstall can install correctly. I keep my sources in /usr/src, and they are owned by root. Perhaps wine should let me install as root if I wish to do so? Why does wineinstall not allow the installation of a global windows root Why can't it su to root and create one...or allow users to run it as root.. Why am I told to run wineinstall as root to generate a global wine.conf (if I refuse to make a local one), when wineinstall refuses to be ran as root?
