I have Debian 11 64 bit on my machine and have been using Windows apps on wine.

My wine version are as per below command

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep wine
ii  wine-stable                           7.0.0.0~bullseye-1                 amd64        WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  wine-stable-amd64                     7.0.0.0~bullseye-1                 amd64        WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  wine-stable-i386:i386                 7.0.0.0~bullseye-1                 i386         WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  winehq-stable                         7.0.0.0~bullseye-1                 amd64        WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  winetricks                            0.0+20210206-2                     all          simple tool to work around common problems in Wine
 
For the last few days I am unable to launch any windows apps and when I type winefile or winecfg on terminal I get "Bus error" message.

Please assist

To rule out an error in the Wine installation, is it possible to start winecfg in a clean wineprefix?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/wine-test wine winecfg

Can you tell us more about your computer? Is it a real or a virtual computer?
Does the development version of Wine work?

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-devel wine-devel-amd64 wine-devel-i386:i386
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/wine-test /opt/wine-devel/bin/wine winecfg

Its a real computer.The development version works after installing wine-devel and its winecfg launched the mono installer dialog box

Does Wine stable work if you use the full path name?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/wine-test /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine winecfg
Does a reinstallation bring any improvement?

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --reinstall winehq-stable wine-stable wine-stable-amd64 wine-stable-i386:i386

If you want, you can remove the Wine-devel packages, but it is not a problem to have several Wine versions installed side by side.
