Summary: Wine always crashes when drive_c is a symlink Product: Wine Version: 1.1.12 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: info@goldenelite.com
Hi! I was running Wine 1.1.12 without problems on my Ubuntu 8.10 x64 desktop, when i decided i wanted my drive_c to be on another drive which has more space available. But after i moved the drive_c and symlinked it, i could no longer launch any application - not even winecfg! It always crashes with a page fault.
Steps to reproduce:
1. rm -rf ~/.wine 2. winecfg (creates fresh .wine dir) 3. Install Winamp (works) 4. mv ~/.wine/drive_c /jfs/drive_c 5. ln -s /jfs/drive_c ~/.wine/drive_c 6. Launching "winecfg" results in page fault:
--- vortex@vortex-desktop:/jfs/drive_c/Program Files/Winamp$ padsp wine winamp.exe wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x004502e6 at address 0x7bc46c61 (thread 001b), starting debugger... wineserver crashed, please enable coredumps (ulimit -c unlimited) and restart. ---
Notes: - I'm not sure if its the symlink or JFS which is bugging Wine. - The permissions of /jfs and /jfs/drive_c are 777; owner is set to my user account. - Both my root filesystem and the /jfs (seperate filesystem) mounts are JFS volumes. - /etc/fstab snippets:
# /dev/sda1 = data partition (mounted /jfs) /dev/sda1 /jfs jfs user,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 = system partition (mounted /) UUID=5347c06f-5619-41b7-a0db-d6ec096c9ab4 / jfs relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Any pointers on how to provide debug/trace/coredump information are welcome.
