Wine on Ubuntu 14.04 Just Stopped Working

Post by ebstauffer »

I run only a single Windows exe via wine -- SQLyog which for the past five years has worked flawlessly. However this morning after a system update wine just stopped working. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 as the subject says. This is the relavent update from my apt log (/var/log/apt/history.log)
Start-Date: 2015-07-28 12:18:40
Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.136'
Install: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-59-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-59.98), linux-image-3.13.0-59-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-59.98), linux-headers-3.13.0-59-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-59.98), linux-headers-3.13.0-59:amd64 (3.13.0-59.98), linux-signed-image-3.13.0-59-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-59.98)
Upgrade: linux-headers-generic:amd64 (3.13.0.58.65, 3.13.0.59.66), apache2-mpm-prefork:amd64 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4, 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5), google-chrome-stable:amd64 (44.0.2403.89-1, 44.0.2403.107-1), linux-signed-generic:amd64 (3.13.0.58.65, 3.13.0.59.66), apache2-data:amd64 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4, 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5), linux-signed-image-generic:amd64 (3.13.0.58.65, 3.13.0.59.66), apache2:amd64 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4, 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5), apache2-bin:amd64 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4, 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5), linux-libc-dev:amd64 (3.13.0-58.97, 3.13.0-59.98)
End-Date: 2015-07-28 12:20:28
I have removed / purged wine and added it back via the PPA both stable and 1.7.44 (ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa) but no joy. I cant even run notepad.exe. Just returns a command line. Any thoughts??

Downgrade your kernel until Ubuntu fixes it.

Making this a sticky for now as we're likely to get lots of users affected.

Ask your distro. That's not a Wine question.

Starting wineserver seperately first from terminal works for me too.

According to the Ubuntu bug, this affects more than just Wine, and the broken package has already been removed from the repository, so I'd say they are already working on it.

Ubuntu Kernel update 3.13.0-61 appears to have solved the issue - for me at any rate.

Confirmed. 3.13.0-61-generic is now running Wine without issue on my system too.
