Summary: Wine crashes running every exe in Mandrake 10.0 Product: Wine Version: 20040213 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pavel.reznicek@wo.cz
Hi,
I'm not the only Czech user that noticed this problem.
I have the wine package distributed with Mandrake 10.0. I use the kernel 2.4.25-2mdk.
After I had configured the conf file and tried to run wine on a brand new installed Mandrake 10.0, I tried to type "wine --help". The help message showed up, all OK.
But then I tried to run wine /mnt/windows/winnt/notepad.exe ... and it stopped badly. The symptoms include:
1) After I pres Enter in the console, I get the cursor to the new line; and that's all. Wine becomes frozen. 2) Moreover, I can type to the console and the letters appear axyctly as I type them. 3) But ctrl-c doesn't terminate anything. 4) Many shell instances don't react and behave the same way. I think that it includes the instances of bash that were run by the user who tried to launch wine. 5) When I try to kill wine (something as "killall wine"), nothing happens. 6) Then, when I try to shut the system down, it hangs by stopping the xprint service. Another user reported that his system hangs by stopping the md service. The shutdown/reboot process then simply doesn't continue anymore.
I don't know if it can help but I must also state that the Borland Kylix programming tool (either 2 and 3) (that is based on its own wine version) has very similar symptoms.
I just want to help you with your GREAT task and I hope the bug I am reporting isn't already posted.
