boot timeout problems, e.g. winecfg

[tilmann]

I have the problem that every application I start with wine takes about 30 seconds to start.
It then prints the following message:

err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

As far as I can remember this problem this problem exists since I installed SuSE 11.1 (wine 1.1.10?). I see the problems on both of my machines.
E.g. set-up of my desktop:

:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.1
:~> uname -a
Linux 5356CDEF 2.6.27.7-9-default #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
:~> wine --version
wine-1.1.14

Example:

:~> winecfg
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

:~>

--> No other error messages
--> After that the applications run fine. It's really only the 30 sec delay that bothers me.

This problem occurs with every application I use with wine on both machines using SuSE 11.1. It did not occur on SuSE 11.0 or 10.3.


I have ALSA and OSS installed. ALSA works, but I disabled it for the moment. There are only two DLLs that I override:
d3dx9_35, d3dx9_36

Any ideas how to avoid this boot timeout?

Does it happen without the overrides?

Yes, it still happens. However, I now get some additional messages, then again 30sec wait and the kernel boot timeout:

Code: Select all

:~> wineserver -k
:~> winecfg 
err:module:import_dll Library ksecdd.sys (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\uigxrdr.SYS") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\uigxrdr.SYS" failed, status c0000135
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

Not sure what that means.

Not sure what that means.

Google suggests that uigxrdr.sys is malware. Delete your ~/.wine and reinstall your apps to a clean wineprefix.

Wow, that's scary, I had only installed a few games on wine, and I bought every single one of them. No idea where that malware came from.

I actually took a shortcut and only deleted
rm -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows

After that everything works fine again.
Thanks!

When it occurs again, I will delete the Programs folder too.
