--- Comment #16 from trashystashy2@gmail.com --- Debian wine-devel v.1.9.4 cannot execute any Windows program (e.g., notepad or wordpad) except via Linux shell command line.
This has been happening to me since I installed the WineHQ official wine-devel binaries for the first time last month -- my older wine from Debian repo was working for these cases. After upgrading via Synaptic Package Manager yesterday, I noticed how new wine always fails to start its own programs.
$ uname --all Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ wine --version wine-1.9.4
$ wine notepad.exe "Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled. wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated." (First time usage, I did not accept installing either the .NET or the wine-gecko options, nor their Debian repo package substitutes.)
$ wine notepad wine-bug.txt (works!)
$ wine notepad.exe wine-bug.txt (works!)
PROBLEM: Double-click on wine-bug.txt from MATE's file manager. (fails! Temporarily displays in task bar as loading.)
Right-click for properties menu from MATE's file manager and manually enter "wine notepad.exe %1" as command to execute for file types having extension ".txt". (fails! 'ome/user/wine-bug.txt' file not found!)
Notice the missing 'h' from the Unix-style pathname. Wine v1.9.4 is removing at least the first character of the OS supplied (relative?) pathname. This problem does not happen likewise starting MATE's Pluma text editor. Therefore the defect is wine-devel specific.
