Bug #: 30859
           Summary: After upgrade Wine is now inoperable. Cannot be
                    reinstalled.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

With the latest beta Wine 1.5, my wine program loader is now inoperable. I have
been unable to reinstall the last stable version of wine successfully. None of
my programs that ran on Wine will now open and the program loader keeps telling
me that it is waiting to install. When I try to launch Steam, I get a little
window that says there is an internal error.

Please attach terminal output.

Does 'wine notepad' work?

Note that installing/reinstalling the package is a distro problem, not a
problem in wine itself.

Also, don't forget to try a clean wineprefix.

No, the wine notepad does not load up. It flashes on the screen and then
flashes off.

I can't install anything to wine because my wine can no longer access my drives
and it can no longer see any of the programs that I had installed under it.
Apparently, it was unable to complete the install because when I try to access
wine, the icon now says that it is waiting to install.

$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-bak
$ wine notepad

and attach the output if it fails.

I am using Ubuntu 12:04

Note pad did open, but I got this output from the terminal:

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/mark/.wine'
getting server_pid from lock 3836
wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 1359

I wonder if bug 30410 is related..

We've had a couple of reports on the forum with the same console output as
reported in comment 6. Both are Ubuntu 12.04 users.

http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=15873
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=15800

One of them reported solving the problem by installing POL. Maybe a packaging
issue?

Yes, the Ubuntu package apparently includes a hack for bug 30410, which doesn't
work properly. Not a Wine bug.

Different circumstance. 30934 was a fresh install on a fresh install of Ubuntu
12.04.

Has anyone filed a bug with Ubuntu for this?

I'm seeing a similar issue.  A lot of wine programs are failing to load
properly.  Notepad still works in pre-existing prefixes, but is also giving me
the "wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)" error.

The link given in the previous correspondence is not a link to a bug filed with
Ubuntu.  And the workaround of removing lilo doesn't look like a viable
long-term solution.

This issue is also probably continuing to affect wine users, so this shouldn't
be marked as resolved upstream unless there is a direct reference to it being
resolved in Ubuntu.

That's good to know.  I was concerned that this was resolved prematurely - I
wasn't supposed to sound impatient.  Apologies for the misunderstanding.

If it's any help, Wine was working yesterday but has stopped working now that
I've installed the latest updates.

I had to "make uninstall" ("apt-get purge" or so on your side) and then
re-install wine. Now this bug is gone.

Closing, since it's resolved.
