[Bug 14108] New: wine does not start at all on my clean linux/x86 laptop

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14108

Summary: wine does not start at all on my clean linux/x86 laptop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Since many wine versions, wine does not run at all on my
amilo slackware linux laptop (x86-32bit) anymore.

On another desktop machine (another x86-32 Slackware box, 
but very different hardware), it works.

After installing wine (on a clean machine, no ~/.wine at all),
the first time wine is launched (in this case for winecfg), it says:

"wine: created the configuration directory '/home/claudio/.wine'
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled."

and then it just blocks there. After a very long time I get:

"err:module:attach_process_dlls "winspool.drv" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\windows\system32\winecfg.exe" failed, status c000013a"

and I am at a prompt again. Meanwhile, the wine processes still live,
and need to be killed manually
(wineserver, wineboot.exe, sevices.exe, explorer.exe).

I thought it would be a good idea to inform you that at least on
this machine, wine-1.0.0 does not start at all.

I noticed a somewhat similar bug report, which might or might not
be related (at least the effects seem similar), but it's on NetBSD:

If you want some more information, I can be very responsive until
at least the end of the week.

Probably your CUPS setup is broken.

Well in a sense it is, I have no CUPS at all,
I do not need it.

I tried starting the cupsd, and indeed this lets
wine run again.

Thank you for the workaround, although I still think
that wine should run even though cups is not available.

I have cups installed, but I do not start the cupsd,
as I do not need it.

I keep the cups package installed for the very rare
cases when I do need it.

austin@SERVER1:/home/austin$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop

wine: configuration in '/home/austin/.wine' has been updated.

Works fine here.

I have slackware 12, with cups installed but not running, and Wine works just
fine.

I think I solved: ip_tables rules, I am not accepting
from 127.0.0.1 on the laptop, wine is trying to connect to
127.0.0.1:631 and sees its SYN packets dropped.

You can close this, sorry for the bogus issue report.

It's not Wine, it's cups which is doing that.

It is not, no cups is running. Here's winecfg buzzing while sending SYN to 
127.0.0.1:631 and blocking since its packets are dropped:

$ strace -e trace=connect winecfg
[...]
connect(10, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16

(other terminal):
$ netstat -anc --programs | grep -e tcp -e udp

tcp        0      1 127.0.0.1:60902         127.0.0.1:631           SYN_SENT   
1610/winecfg.exe

(other terminal):
# while true; do iptables --list -v -n |grep INPUT; sleep 1; done
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 16 packets, 960 bytes)
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 17 packets, 1020 bytes)
[...]

You are confusing cupsd and a cups client library. Wine is using the latter
one, and that one communicates with cupsd via a socket at 127.0.0.1:631.
