Not enough disk space on Z:

[QA_manager]

I use a very specialized Windows program from 2003 - ancient - but there are very, very few substitutes, so I would like to continue using this one. I have run it under Wine for at least seven years and had no problem. At some point it got broken; now everything works until it tries to write a temporary file. When it tries to write a temporary file it says "Not enough disk space on Z:". I tried telling it to write to Z:\home\(me)\temp and I tried C: with the same result. It sees the disk; I can navigate through the directories and open and view files - but I can't edit anything! My hard drive has 1.5 TB free, and I am trying to edit files up to perhaps 200 MB, so I have enough disk space by more then three orders of magnitude!

I don't know when it got broken, but within the last year - I was running Ubuntu 17.04 and it was working, but then one day I tried to use it and it wasn't. I assume that some update broke it, but can't say which one - I sometimes go months without using it.

I am now using Ubuntu 18.04.1 and wine-3.0 (Ubuntu 3.0-1ubuntu1); it is still broken.

There isn't any installation with this program; you copy it to the directory where you want to run it and it runs.

I have tried removing and re-installing Wine; that didn't work. How can I troubleshoot and fix this?

That sounds like a permissions issue. Have you ever run Wine with sudo? That would mess up the permissions in the wineprefix.

Try a clean wineprefix first. If that doesn't help, try the latest development release using the WineHQ packages. https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

I uninstalled Wine, deleted .wine, reinstalled Wine; no change.

I then uninstalled Wine, deleted .wine, installed wine-dev (wine-3.6 (Ubuntu 3.6-1)); no change.

I then uninstalled Wine, deleted .wine, installed wine-dev from WineHQ (wine-3.13); no change.

Post terminal output. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_g ... tput.29.3F

Terminal output is only: 0009:fixme:font:get_outline_text_metrics failed to read full_nameW for font L"Ani"!, and log.txt is empty.

I ran debug logs, but even zipped they are 2.5 MB; how would you like me to get them to you? Do you want any channels other than relay, seh, and tid?

@QA_manager

All we'd need actually, is:

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=-font,+volume
wine ... &>~/wine_volume_log.txt

for starters...

Plus probably the output from:

Code: Select all

df -h --local

[/code] tags - if you post any logs inline.

For longer logs (>1000 lines) - a pastebin-esque service, like a Github Gist, would be best.

Anyway, now I've got that off my chest...

From the GetDiskFreeSpaceW() function return values (4096 bytes / cluster):

• 1604.11 Gb available
• 1825.85 Gb total

which concurs with the df information above.

I'd suggest running you application under Windows ME or Windows 98 compatibility.
That will limit the return value from the above function to 2 Gb - as your old Windows application probably can't handle big modern drive sizes.

Aha! That makes sense - in fact I thought of that today, but didn't know what to do about it. A little searching in the Wiki led me to

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=~/{directory for the 32-bit configuration - I used '.wine32'}
wine ~/Programs/{program that you want to run in a 32-bit architecture mode}

That works; thank you very much for your help.
