Bug ID: 48602 Summary: Kindle for PC installer 1.26.55076 crashes on execution Product: Wine Version: 5.1 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: bug.reporter@mail.sheugh.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 66439 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=66439 Text output from ./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe
This is a new Wine installation, and this is the first application I tried to run. I am going to add some things just in case it is relevant. It is desired to install the latest Kindle for Windows version following generally the advice set out here: https://ajreissig.com/kindle-linux-read-kindle-books-linux-system/ Option 3 of the guidance "Conversion" was followed.
An additional complication is that Kindle offers books sourced from both www.amazon.com and from www.amazon.co.uk, hence for at least the initial installation, www.amazon.com will be used.
The first attempt, with the most recent download from Amazon, failed. The version before build 38420 from filehippo appeared to function correctly, but timed out when I attempted to register the application. I later found that Amazon had emailed a one-time code to me to allow completion of the registration.
Although Q4Wine is installed, for test purposes, the commandline will be used to execute the attempted re-installation of the latest Kindle Application.
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe
chmod to make the file executable
The execution fails after opening a window offering the choice of a cancel or opening the wine debug. There are some warning messages.
Wine offered to install wine mono and that seemed to complete ok. Wine then offered to install gecko Clicking Ok produced a bunch of fixme messages.
The execution appears to have hung.
I will have a look at the things Wine complained about and attempt a reinstall. sha1sum ./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe d3407d11d8fcd2f146516b5fd96fa2fcaf73ffcb ./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe
