--- Comment #14 from duncan.clough+wine@gmail.com 2012-06-28 15:55:37 CDT --- I'm seeing a similar issue. A lot of wine programs are failing to load properly. Notepad still works in pre-existing prefixes, but is also giving me the "wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)" error.
The link given in the previous correspondence is not a link to a bug filed with Ubuntu. And the workaround of removing lilo doesn't look like a viable long-term solution.
This issue is also probably continuing to affect wine users, so this shouldn't be marked as resolved upstream unless there is a direct reference to it being resolved in Ubuntu.
