Problems with wine.

Post by Tuluppa »

Hey! Thanks for reading this.

So Im on a freshly installed ubuntu 12.04 32bit and Im having problems with wine. It installs just fine but when I run winecfg I get this:

getting server_pid from lock 7958
wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 1359
getting server_pid from lock 7958
wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)

Another thing I get is:

err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2

Im at a loss here, reinstalling doesnt seem to fix it.

If anyone has any ideas what might be wrong please let me know!

Thank you

If anyone else has the same problem.

Found out what was causing it, its a patch in the ubuntu version that broke it apparently. Compiled 1.5.7 from source and its working again. The patch was meant to fix Diablo3 and Starcraft2 logins, some other games also affected.

So if you got this problem just compile your own until they fix the patch.
