Summary: Wine and winecfg will not start up with some network configurations Product: Wine Version: 0.9.17. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-net AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: m.marwedel@onlinehome.de
Hello, on my system wine and winecfg will not start up on some configurations of the network. If my eth0 device has a fixed IP, wine and winecfg are starting properly up. After running 'sudo dhclient eth0' they will not start any longer. In this state ifconfig shows this: eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse inet Adresse:192.168.1.12 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6 Adresse: fe80::... Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:1954 (1.9 KiB) TX bytes:1018 (1018.0 b) Interrupt:20 Basisadresse:0xe800
After running 'sudo ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1' wine and winecfg are working again and ifconfig shows a lo0 interface. Then running a 'sudo ifdown lo' switches wine and winecfg back to not working.
For me it looks like wine and winecfg need at least one network interface with a fixed IP to work. The problem is that wine and winecfg are not showing ANY messages and you have to terminate them with Control+C.
I think it would be good to show a message why they are not working, because I needed relatively long to find out why they are sometimes working and sometimes not.
