xcopy eating cpu

Post by titaniumjones »

Hi, New here. Wine is awesome and just works for the most part.
However, I've noticed after I've been using a windoze application under wine the CPU is still running red hot. When I look at System Monitor, xcopy is running (Doing nothing) eating 1 cpu core @ 100%.
I don't know what it's doing or why it's doing it.
Any suggestion or help is appreciated.
I'm currently killing the Wine session with wineserver -k

Not sure what a reproducer is, but probably no.

where to download the Windows software?
I'm using some proprietory company applications, a password manager, and a text file editor as well as a couple of commercial products including SL Cache Viewer and Daz3d, that's mostly it. But it doesn't seem to matter what program I start it always ends with xcopy sucking up 4 cpu cores.

32 or 64 bits wine?
64 bit

any winetricks?
No

hello

What is your wine version?

Code: Select all

wine --version
mine is 9.16 (wine-devel)

It seems SL Cache viewer works

I read http://slcacheviewer.com/downloads.php


noticed

Code: Select all

Installation

To install, extract the contents of the zip file somewhere. Then you can run the application by running SLCacheViewer.exe.

You will also need to install these components, if you do not already have them on your system:

    .NET Framework 4.0 (or later) - available here (from Microsoft)

    C++ Runtime. Due to different libraries using different versions, you may need to install multiple runtime versions.
        Get the latest VS 2017 x86 redistributable package here (from Microsoft)
        You may also need this version: VS 2012 U4 x86 - available here (from Microsoft)
        You may also need this version: VS 2015 U3 x86 - available here (from Microsoft)
    DirectX 9.0c Runtime - available here (from Microsoft)
so I did

Code: Select all

export WINEARCH=win32 
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_sl
wineboot -u
sudo winetricks --self-update
winetricks -q dotnet40 -q vcrun2017 vcrun2012 vcrun2015
WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine SLCacheViewer.exe 
it launches a window

I also have

Code: Select all

~$ wine --version
wine-9.16 (Staging)
But as I mentioned previously, it didn't matter what windows software I used, xcopy always started up and grabbed 4 cores.
