When typing, only one character for any app.

[brian256]

Whenever I try typing anything into any application, all I get is one character and then I cannot add any more or even delete it unless I exit out. When I load it back up the same thing happens. This problem also persists within the Wine configuration, I can only change one number in the window size box. I have tried the riched20 winetrick and I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it multiple times. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I run on Ubuntu 8.10

Any application? Does 'wine notepad' work?

No, I try typing "hello" and all I get is "h"

Hmm. Strange. Any terminal output?

Be sure to test in a clean ~/.wine, to get rid of any tweaks you tried.

What wine version? What keyboard layout?

I'm using version 1.1.13. I just re-installed it and tried notepad and I got the same thing. I have a standard U.S. qwerty keyboard, and I'm not sure how to check my terminal output for wine.

Reinstalling Wine will not change anything in your configuration! You need to
run this command to clean your configuration:

rm -rf ~/.wine

By running it you will lose everything you installed in this Wine prefix. If
you don't want to lose anything but just want to test in clean Wine prefix
then run:

rm -rf ~/.wine-clean; WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-clean wine notepad

This command will launch notepad in clean Wine prefix each time you run it
(without touching your default Wine prefix - ~/.wine).

Thanks for that, I'm pretty new to all of this. After cleaning my configuration it works perfectly, which is strange because I did not install anything other than itunes before I found out the typing issue.

Thanks once again.
