Bug ID: 51885 Summary: Installing Dotnet Causes Recursive Cannot Parse File Errors and Terminal Spam Product: Wine Version: 6.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: nekoNexus@protonmail.ch Distribution: ---
This is an issue that's plagued me with Wine for a long while now: For some reason, I don't know why, but VERY often when I execute a Wine process in a terminal (I use Konsole and Yakuake) Wine spits out excess lines of "information" until I terminate the terminal shell.
This gets particularly noticeable when doing things like installing dotnet, where there's a lot going on.
For not as long but still a while, installing dotnet in particular causes it to search in my ~/.local/share/applications folder for some reason, then going through a symlink I have there, then navigating to the Wine-defined "Z drive" to scan a bunch of other locations on my PC recursively.
The two issues combined causes literally endless spam in my terminal and it even spills into other process in that same terminal session, like opening a file in nano.
I would log this data to a file *but I literally can't do so;* there's too many characters to log and it isn't possible for me to capture all the data.
Needless to say (I kind of already said it), this can also make collecting information quite difficult for application testing for bug reporting.
