Wine doesn't quit when i finish win-software

Post by M_i_c_h_e_l »

I figured it out by accident, that wine doesn't quit. when i finish the windows-software.

In the Task-Manager the windows-Software itself is gone, but not the following programs:

winedevice (5x)
wineserver
services.exe
plugplay.exe
PrintCtrl.exe
PrintDisp.exe

Does anybody have an idea, where i could possibly find the error, that wine quits totally?

I'm using OpenSuSE-Tumbleweed.

Thanks for reading.

I have that problem in some windows programs, but not all. If you really want to force them to stop you can just run wineserver --kill and all wine processes will be killed with it.

Hi,
thanks for Your answer. That's the way, i kill them now. I knew that. But this wasn't always so. Quitting a windows-program quitted too all wine-stuff.

I think, that's the way, it regularly should be...

I want this kind of behaviour back.

Wine quits automatically when the Windows program exits successfully.
I have noticed that a lot of programs that use the native .Net Framework struggle to shut down completely.
But it can also happen that other Windows programs are started when the Windows program is started.
Think of automatic update programs or in your case PrintCtrl and PrintDispl

Hello,

I have lost sight of the problem a little....

In the meantime I use wine from q4wine - a comfortable and well working way. The error does not occur anymore.

Thanks for the answers.
