--- Comment #47 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
(In reply to joaopa from comment #44)
As already said, it is not a user forum. It is a bugzilla. Clearly, it is not a bug in wine. You broke your user folder when using wine as root.
Yes, but we still have to check if the original issue with MIDISOFT Studio 4 was fixed by installing 32-bit libvulkan, so we kind-of need to fix the file permissions too.

rm -fR .wine rm -f ~/.local/share/mime/packages/x-wine* rm -fR ~/.local/share/applications rm -f ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/*/*/application-x-wine-extension* rm -f ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-wine-extension* WINEARCH=win32 wine notepad
Be careful when asking to 'rm' things. That deletes the files definitively. Make sure to backup any valuable file before deleting them. It is usually better to rename, or move the files/directories away when renaming is not enough.

Created attachment 67813 [details] notepad log and new-prefix-complaints
wineboot output is ok (it is normal to have those few ERR and FIXME lines). notepad output is ok, except for the broken files.
Essentially original problem seems settled, but was asked to allow install of gecko and another file while new prefix was created. 2020-07-27-1128PM-EST-log-and-nrw-prefix-complaints.txt file is disturbing.
If you installed them, Wine will not ask you for Mono or Gecko again, until the next version upgrade.

Repeated suggestion and this time less problems with notebook, but still some: dad@dad314159:~$ WINEARCH=win32 wine notepad Could not parse file "/home/dad/.local/share/applications/gsview-2.desktop": Invalid key name: Path[$e] Could not parse file "/home/dad/.local/share/applications/gedit-2.desktop": Invalid key name: Path[$e] Could not parse file "/home/dad/.local/share/applications/gsview.desktop": Invalid key name: Path[$e] Could not parse file "/home/dad/.local/share/applications/Kate.desktop": Invalid key name: Path[$e]
To fix your file permissions you have to find all files owned by root in your HOME directory and change the ownership back to your normal user (owner and group). Bugzilla is not meant to be a user help forum, so you'll have to search the web to get help for that: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22747/finding-files-by-their-owner-... https://askubuntu.com/questions/6723/change-folder-permissions-and-ownership
Once the files and directories are owned by your user again, you may either try to restore the wineprefix of your old MIDISOFT Studio 4 installation. If it still doesn't work, reinstall the application in a new wineprefix, as you did with notepad.
Regards.
