Errors when running 'winecfg' post-clean install of Wine

Post by Mongo »

Hi all,

I am completely new to Wine, so please be patient. My goal is simply to be able to run a couple of specific games that either 1) run poorly or not at all in a VM, or 2) need direct access to the physical GPU. Specifically, Alien Isolation. I am running Ubuntu 20.04, and followed the directions in this tutorial precisely. The install itself went without any complaints, but when I ran 'winecfg' afterwards, I got a user dialog stating that

Wine could not find a wine-mono package which is needed for .NET applications to work correctly. Wine can download and install it for you. NOTE: It is recommended to use your distribution's packages instead.

The terminal window also showed:

I did find a post on another forum suggesting that these errors are expected on a first execution and can be ignored (though the many of the errors listed in that post were different). So, do I allow Wine to download and install these, simply ignore the error, or is there another package I should install from the Ubuntu repository? Thanks!

I don't think there are any packages (anymore) for Wine-Mono for Debian and Ubuntu.
You can install the Wine-Mono program without worries.

Also, the output you get from winecfg is normal.
The next time you start winecfg you will see that the output is already a lot smaller.
You'll probably see:

Code: Select all

0108:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x5697a0, 1): stub
0108:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0001005A, 005697A0): stub
0050:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x4a6988, 0): stub
0050:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (00010020, 004A6988): stub
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
Lines with "fixme:" can usually be ignored by the user.
The last line means that the user running wine does not have permissions to write a file to /.
