Bug ID: 37468 Summary: GW2 Patcher Insta-Crash Product: Wine Version: 1.7.28 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: triangle400@gmail.com Distribution: ---
My linux install is fairly recent, i only installed Samba and wine before getting the bug. I tried to install the game with a client i copied from windows, from the PlayOnLinux app, from a windows downloader, it does the same thing every time:
I may get a short "patcher update" which works fine but as soon as it would launch the actual patcher, the keyboard freezes. The mouse still moves around but mostly doesn't mouseover anything anymore or click anything. The power supply fan runs like crazy until I force close the machine.
I would try to get a terminal output but i don't know how to pipe it directly to file. "wine file.exe > log.txt" gets me an empty file. Maybe because it crashes? I'm a bit green about linux but i'm willing to learn.
Running ubuntu 1.14.04 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz × 4 GFX: GeForce GT 240/PCIe/SSE2 Memory: 3.9 GiB Wine was latest at 1.17.28 last i checked
Uhh, that's about it for now?

That's likely a kernel/driver bug.

will only capture stdout, not stderr. Assuming you're on bash, try:
wine file.exe &>> log.txt
you should also check dmesg and Xorg.0.log, they'll likely have some more info.

--- Comment #5 from triangle400@gmail.com --- I read the files a bit, i came across this bit in file 2/3:
[ 16.985780] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [ 16.985784] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint [ 17.000716] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
Thought I'd point out I'm using the tested-proprietary drivers. The default linux driver has a maximum resolution of 640*480, i couldn't even configure Internet with that display (DHCP is off).
Also i feel bad for asking for help if this is not a wine bug but i don't know where else to turn. Like i said I've always been using windows, i know the basics but everything here is new to me.

Bugzilla is for wine bugs, not user support (there's the forum and #winehq on IRC for that). There's no need to be callous about it, but since it's working for you and we don't know what changed, I'll close this as WORKSFORME.
