Bug ID: 40122 Summary: __wine_kernel_init boot should not timeout while Gecko or Mono is downloading Product: Wine Version: 1.9.3 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: 00cpxxx@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When you have a slow internet connection and are creating a new prefix and gecko/mono are not cached yet the function __wine_kernel_init boot will print its timeout error in the console and go on even while the download is still in progress clearly indicating that the prefix creation did not finish yet.
I understand that __wine_kernel_init is probably not aware of the download but anyway wine should not ignore that the download is still running and conclude wine prefix creation.
To test this I simply created a new prefix (I always do "WINEPREFIX=/path/... wine winecfg" and then wait for winecfg to appear).
