Summary: wine (winecfg) locks up entire pc on startup Product: Wine Version: 0.9.36. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gpongo@iglou.com
When I run wine with any argument (sol.exe or anything), or just winecfg by itself, my computer locks up. The mouse freezes and the LEDs don't respond to hitting the capslock or numlock keys. The hard drive light doesn't flicker when I try to emergency sync (sysrq-s). I have to use the reboot button or power off.
It worked under debian sarge; I installed Ubuntu 7.04 fiesty fawn and wine didn't work. I rm -r 'd the .wine directory and made sure no previous version of wine was present before installing wine on Ubuntu (I think it installs 0.9.33). Both it and 0.9.36 lock up identically. I ssh'd in from another PC, and prior to the lockup, it prints "err:wgl:has_opengl glx_version is 1.4 and GLX_SGIX_fbconfig extension is unsupported. Expect problems." exactly twice before locking up. The lock up occurs about 5 seconds after that. The GL problems remind me of bug 5822, except my PC locks up, too.
I'm going to try to get output using windbg and attach it.
