--- Comment #33 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
"NEVER run Wine as root!" - Wine FAQ, Section 6.2 https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Should_I_run_Wine_as_root.3F
Please STOP running Wine as root (or sudo variations). This is unsupported and invalid.
Any attempt at using a wineprefix with root access will break the prefix and you have to restart from scratch. This includes all files outside of wineprefix opened by the application as root.
Using root as an attempt to fix issues can only make them worse.
"NEVER run Wine as root!", not even once.
And please, out of respect for the people trying to help you here, STOP taking initiatives and listen to what people say. Only do what is asked and don't change things that nobody asked you to change. Otherwise, we'll be unable to follow you and give proper advice.
If 'wine notepad' doesn't work, your Wine install is broken. That must be fixed first.
So, please attach a normal (=without WINEDEBUG) terminal output of notepad. Instructions to get a log can be found there: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
And I repeat: Unless you know what you're doing, don't change anything to your system. Just give us the log file and wait until we tell you what to try next.
Regards.
