[Bug 11649] New: Native Linux applications write noise to disk when Wine is running

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11649

Summary: Native Linux applications write noise to disk when Wine
                    is running
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When I run some application with Wine (it happens with ALL the applications I
launched, e.g. Goldwave, Photoshop, DXDiag, WinRAR, CDex, ...) and then launch
some Linux application (Gimp, OpenOffice, custom code, ...), all the disk
writing attempts result in noise being written to disk.

Wine does not print any warnings or errors, and neither do the affected
programs. The writing ends with success, but when I try to open the file, all I
get is random bytes. If I quit wine and then re-run the Linux apps, the
produced files look just OK.

I run Wine on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty), on a i386 system with 1GB RAM DDR2, the
filesystem is ext3. RAM is not broken (I did many memtests), filesystem is not
broken, I have plenty of hard disk space and plenty of free RAM when running
the applications.

That doesn't sound like a Wine bug; it sounds more
like a system bug.

What video drivers are you using?  If they're proprietary,
they taint your kernel; you might want to run with an
untainted kernel and see if that makes the problem go away.

I do actually run with proprietary video drivers, never thought of them as a
probable cause for this! I will run with an untainted kernel asap and post the
results here.

Emanuele, any news on this? Have you tried to reproduce the problem on another
computer?

Abandoned. Likely invalid.
