Summary: wine does not start at all on my clean linux/x86 laptop Product: Wine Version: 1.0.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sick_soul@yahoo.it
Since many wine versions, wine does not run at all on my amilo slackware linux laptop (x86-32bit) anymore.
On another desktop machine (another x86-32 Slackware box, but very different hardware), it works.
After installing wine (on a clean machine, no ~/.wine at all), the first time wine is launched (in this case for winecfg), it says:
"wine: created the configuration directory '/home/claudio/.wine' Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled."
and then it just blocks there. After a very long time I get:
"err:module:attach_process_dlls "winspool.drv" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\windows\system32\winecfg.exe" failed, status c000013a"
and I am at a prompt again. Meanwhile, the wine processes still live, and need to be killed manually (wineserver, wineboot.exe, sevices.exe, explorer.exe).
I thought it would be a good idea to inform you that at least on this machine, wine-1.0.0 does not start at all.
I noticed a somewhat similar bug report, which might or might not be related (at least the effects seem similar), but it's on NetBSD:

If you want some more information, I can be very responsive until at least the end of the week.
