Summary: Wine and winecfg unable to start, disconnect and force a new session Product: Wine Version: 0.9.24. Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: xenarulz@tiscali.it
I use Opensuse 10.2 and installed Wine through Yast. I was never able to use the program once. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Every time I try to run winecfg to configure wine, it's as if I disconnected from Opensuse, so screen becomes black, applications are killed and I have to login again. Same happens if I try to use wine to run any .exe (I have win98 SE on another partition, btw) but I think that this latest issue is because I have never managed to configure wine, since winecfg doesn't start... If from terminal I ask $ which wine I get /usr/bin/wine in Home I have ./wine I think everything is installed correctly. My pc is pretty old, considering, I have a AMD Sempron 1Gb RAM no fancy 3D video cards. I have googled and seen that this issue was present for old versions of Mandriva but I haven't found out ho to work around it. Thanks for your help.

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-02-22 13:56:15 --- Are you attempting to run wine as root? Wine can't kill X (wine is a user process) unless running as root. More than likely you've got buggy video drivers or something else running as root causing this problem...
