Need winedbg to output to a log file

Post by Firefairy »

I am not sure if this is super-easy and my Google-fu is just failing me, or what, but I can't find it.

Is there a way to make winedbg output to a log file, even if it isn't closed properly? I am having a bug that appears to make the system suspend for no good reason, and I have the Ubuntu Kernel suspend bug, which means I have to restart the computer if it goes into suspend. This means I can't see what winedbg outputs in the terminal once the problem has occurred, and as far as I can tell, no file is created anywhere holding the information.

The problem has only occurred for me when playing City of Heroes under Wine- a couple of minutes, then black screen of death. I can do anything else I want on the computer without having the problem, so I am pretty sure it is a Wine issue, but I want to poke at it more to figure out what's going wrong. How do I troubleshoot a Wine problem that takes my whole system with it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

What exactly are you trying to do with winedbg? If you just want to save everything Wine outputs then you should do this:

First I'd suggest you run Wine as a regular user and never as root. Second make sure nothing is overheating (CPU, GPU, memory).
