Summary: Kindle4PC 1.0.1 Beta works with 1.3.15 but does not work with 1.3.23 Product: Wine Version: 1.3.23 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sami@dreamone.com
I can launch and run Kindle 4 PC 1.0.1 Beta 1 (25709) with both versions of WINE 1.3 without error.
I have marked the bug as major, because the application that used to work has become inoperable in a fundamental way.
With the latest just-upgraded 1.3.23 I can not open any books, and thus the application is in practice completely non-usable. I can only see the books I have purchased, and the list of purchased books updates, but opening a book will fail, no matter if the book has been downloaded earlier or is a new purchase.
I have downloaded 1.3.23 from LaunchPad WINE PPA. Thus I can choose between that package and the default WINE 1.3 that comes from the Ubuntu repository.
The exact versions are: 1.3.15-0ubuntu5 1.3.23-0ubuntu1~ppa1~natty1
I am on Ubuntu Natty 64 bits, up to date.
I have started using the LaunchPad WINE PPA much earlier than now, so some other version of WINE 1.3 downloaded from the PPA, newer than 1.3.15, has also worked properly. This issue is recent.
Happy to try different versions of WINE so detect at which point exactly this error pops up, provided some instructions. In aptitude I only have these two versions to pick between, so currently not sure at all where and how to get e.g. WINE 1.3.22 for Ubuntu Natty amd64.
