Adobe Digital Editions in wine not finding Kobo

[quorlia]

Hi,

I got Adobe Digital Editions working in wine and finding my kobo eReader (mapped as a floppy drive in winecfg). For the last couple of days however it hasn't been working. When I launch winecfg and switch to the drives tab I get errors of the form

Code: Select all

wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\A:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\E:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.

A is my own mapping to the ereader mount point, E is some sort of automatic detection that wine seems to insist on doing and Z maps to /. The ereader is mounting properly as I can move epub books to it from the terminal and file manager. I need ADE as I borrow books from my library with DRM.

Wine version is wine-5.0.1 installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in /opt and updated through the updater service.

All updates are up to date. I don't know if this started just after any particular update was installed as I don't use it that frequently but it has broken in the last three weeks as my books are just about up for renewal!

How can I start troubleshooting?
