Wineboot no longer creating new prefixes.

Post by cbrb1gones »

When I run sudo wine wineboot it now only displays these two lines:

Code: Select all

0080:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)
0080:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)
and then nothing happens, not to mention that this started after it ran fine. I can't find anything online on what it means and what's causing it.

Don't run Wine with sudo or as root.

What are you trying to do? Without any options the output of wineboot is as expected.

I think the problem was just that, I ran it as sudo. Thanks for the information, should ALWAYS refer to the FAQ.
