Newsleecher (2019) at startup splashscreen hidden

Post by maximilian1st »

Hi all,
I try launching NewsLeecher after installing it on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 with Wine 4.14 devel but the initial splash screen remains hidden and the console has these messages:

~$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/NewsLeecher/NewsLeecher.exe

Does someone read something that could be helpful? Should it be launched with more verbose output to help out? It used to work 2 years ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Max.

@maximilian1st

I presume you are testing the Newsleecher 8.0 Beta 1 release?

That's not a reliable way to start Windows applications with Wine.
You'd want something like:

Code: Select all

wine start 'C:\Program Files (x86)\NewsLeecher\NewsLeecher.exe'
See: Wine User's Guide: 3 Using Wine.

Maybe a Wine terminal log with:

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=+timestamp,+tid,+loaddll,+module,+seh
would be more helpful?

Please see: WineHQ FAQ: 10.1.1 How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. terminal output)?
- for the correct (/easier) way to get a Wine terminal log.

Also please, in future, use the forum Code tags:

Code: Select all

...
- when posting terminal commands and output inline.

Update
:
FYI I got the application running with:

Code: Select all

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "dxgi" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""
winetricks winxp
using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX, and Wine (or Wine Staging) 4.14

For some reason the application is trying to load DirectX 10 / 11 libraries (why on earth??)

Thanks

It's not too uncommon anymore for applications to use DirectX to render their UI, sadly.

Do we have a bugreport for that issue already?

Your wish is my command: Bug 47638 - Newsleecher 8.0 Beta 1 - will not start with win7+dxgi enabled (workaround as winxp).

Hi,

thank you very much for your help, using your magic command lines I can start Newsleecher 8 beta 1, version 5 final and 7 final. I used all of them for a while and can confirm that all functions work as they did in wine 1.6 and 1.7. I will have a look at the app db and see if I can add some test results for the current stable wine.

I hope you can sort out this bug so that the app will work with no "trick" in the future.

No worries. 8)

The bug, I raised, is the mechanism to document the path to finding a fix for the application. So it works OTTB. Any Wine developer can pick up this work.

Thank you for your input, it worked like a charm until wine 5.0 was released as a stable version. It does not start anymore and shows a crash window unfortunately. This is the normal log I get when starting the app:

The extended log, recorded in a file using the following command line as expressed above is about 3.5MB and I'm not sure I should post it here.

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=+timestamp,+tid,+loaddll,+module,+seh
In the meantime I will google my way to installing and keeping an older version of wine 4.20.

I'll gladly help if I can.

@maximilian1st

That's odd... My Newsleecher 64-bit WINEPREFIX with Newsleecher 8.0 Beta 1 still works OK, with Wine 5.1
I still need to use Windows XP and dxgi disabled.

I/ we can't really comment further, on your issues, without access to the "full" terminal log...
You could attach that to my existing bug report, I guess.

Hi Bob,

thank you for the info that it works for you and it probably would here too but I got into a dependency problem with wine and deleted it completely and it won't install anymore even after trying many of the solutions found online. I am fed up hahahaha. Really. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work. I guess I will just wait for ubuntu 20.04 and hope it will just install out of the box.

Keep on coding ;-)
Max.

Hi Bob,

I have the same problem like maximilian1st recently described.
Environment: dietpi, based on Debian Buster AMD64, and Newsleecher 8.0 beta 4.

I first tried the delivered packages, but those just installed WINE 4.0. I got around the splash screen with your hints, but after the main window opened, I got an exception of the application itself.

Then, I removed those packages again and removed the .wine folder. I added the latest Debian 10 WineHQ packages as described at https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian and viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32192 with the OBS repository added before the dl.winehq.org entry.
I first tried the stable 5.0 and then the devel 5.5, unfortunately without success: The splash screen is not even shown, and the console shows the error messages about missing dxgi.dll files etc. and especially tons of "elf_search_auxv can't find symbol in module".

The terminal log can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/9fl2q2lnajo2e ... 4.zip?dl=0 (seemed to be too big to be added as attachment here).

Thanks a lot in advance for your support!

@JK1974

Just to check you've set your WINEPREFIX to Windows XP as well (as disabling dxgi.dll):

Code: Select all

winetricks winxp
??

You can also try disabling d3d11.dll:

Code: Select all

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "d3d11" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""

I had to do a little drilling down (and probably one or two of these weren't really necessary) before I was able to get NewsLeecher 8.0 beta 4 working in Wine 5.17.1

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "dxgi" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""
wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "d3d11" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""
wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "d3d10" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""
wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "d3d10_1" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""
wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "d2d1" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""

This was in addition to having to set it to Windows 7 in winecfg.

It's not quite all sunshine, though, as it's *continually* making the system noises for "unmaximizing", even when idle. It's really brutal. Additionally, it's always pushing itself to the top of the window stack, regardless of what I put over it.

Also, I had to change the desktop icon's launch location to point directly to the exe. Otherwise, it was firing up with no window at all.

Getting there, though!

OK. I can't seem to do anything about the "unmaximizing" noises or the "always on top" issues. Oh, and it also re-centers itself.

Here are a few other issues that I found:

---------
I will get "Temporarily paused while decoding downloaded data" in the leeching status for each connection. It will sit there forever. I exit, wait a bit, which clears the status, but never exits. I then have to kill the process. Fortunately, it takes the TERM signal.

---------
The "Speed limit" is never reached, even when I push it down well below actual top speed. I know my connection can handle it, because I was using this same machine with windows, and had no issues with it hitting the max line.

---------
This happens fairly often. I can resume the queue with no problem, but have to repair the rar afterwards.

This one comes up when I try to delete entries from Unpacker, supersearch bookmarks, and sometimes from the Download queue. It will lock up, and then I get a Wine error when I exit, and I then have to kill the NewsLeecher process. This is especially problematic, since NewsLeecher will only run in XP mode.
