Error after upgrading kubuntu

[jiachen]

Hi there,

I recently upgraded my kubuntu system to 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron), and one of the my data collection software under wine gives me this error every time I run it.

Code: Select all

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b92b280 "syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 001c, blocked by 0019, retrying (60 sec)

Previously, my kubuntu version was 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and this program (called DataStream) worked fine.

I googled "err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection" for solution and found a few posts.
Such as this one,
http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php ... adId=13763
I don't know what they mean by "switching to OSS or try driver emulation"

None of any other posts seems to give a solution.

I have not yet tried anything to fix this myself.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Run the "winecfg" application, and in the audio tab, try some different settings. To install OSS, i believe the package that wraps OSS around alsa (so you don't have to have OSS AND alsa installed) is "alsa-oss"

So, execute "sudo apt-get install alsa-oss"
Then run winecfg and fiddle with the settings, try emulation etc. You'll also have to restart winecfg after changing sound engines in order for sound to be tested correctly.

I tried OSS in the audio setting tab and tried emulation as well as many other options.
But the problem still persists.

I think my sound and graphics works fine for other programs under wine.

When you upgraded your OS, did you also delete your old ~/.wine and reinstall your Windows programs to a clean ~/.wine? If you didn't, try that.

Regarding the sound problem, have you disabled Pulseaudio? http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1457

I removed wine by using

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude remove wine

then, I deleted the directory ~/.wine by

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.wine

finally, I reinstalled the program that I had problem with, DSWINDOW. However, the problem is still the same because terminal prints the similar (same) error message and nothing happens after that.

Can anyone read this error message or does anyone see similar ones before?
