Age of Empires Rise of Rome doesn't work on the latest version of wine and the
latest version of xubuntu 12.04. AOE worked just before I upgraded to xubuntu

Can you try downgrading to the previous wine version you had installed? The
crashlog implies that a video driver change may be involved as well.

If the old wine version works but not current, can you please run a regression
test:

In particular, does
echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

I don't know how to downgrade to the previous version of wine. There doesn't
seem to be any way to do that with synaptic or with Ubuntu Software Centre.

There was no video driver change. But I had a problem with my monitor with the
previous version of xubuntu. Half of the time it didn't boot to the correct
resolution. With the current version of xubuntu, that problem seems to be
corrected.

You typed it wrong. Should be:
echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

(/proc/sys not /proc.sys)

That command works around one possible problem with ubuntu 12.04 
(at least until next reboot).  Does it help your problem?

Retest in the latest development release, currently 1.5.6.

When you upgraded Xubuntu, did you reinstall your graphics driver? You should.
You should also try the proprietary Nvidia driver.

Jerry, can you reproduce the problem with the trial version as well?
http://www.fileplanet.com/129689/120000/fileinfo/Age-of-Empires:-Rise-of-Rom...

I tried the demo on Fedora 17 (32 bit) with both the open source Nouveau driver
(0.0.16-35.20120306gitf5d1cd2) and the proprietary Nvidia driver (295.59).
I could start the demo with both Nvidia drivers. Tested with Wine 1.4 and
1.5.6.

Can't test 1.5. It's not ready for download from winehq.

A long time ago I tried the Nvidia driver and it caused my computer to not work
and I had a hard time getting it to work again. I won't even consider trying
the Nvidia driver again on this computer.

I downloaded the source code for wine 1.5.6 and installed it using wineinstall.
Then I tried to run Age of Empires Rise of Rome. It not only did not work but
also I had to restart the computer.

The most interesting thing would be to know wether the problem occurs with the
demo

If the full version of AOE-ROR doesn't run, why might the demo version of
AOE-ROR run?

If the problem can be reproduced with the demo version other users which don't
have the full game version will be able to test too.

I tested the demo version on both wine 1.4 and wine 1.5.6. On 1.4 I need to
restart the computer. On 1.5.6 it gives me a black screen and until I press
return and it doesn't run.

Thanks for the info.

The fact that you had to restart your computer means you probably
have an X driver problem.  What graphics card do you have, and
what X and driver are you using?  (Also, what CPU, and are you overclocking?)

Demo works fine here with Nvidia geforve 7600go and driver 295.53.

This bug is clearly invalid.

It could be closed as INVALID.
