wine error causing reboot

[socphoenix]

I recently installed wine onto my system, and have been trying to use it, but it causes the computer to reboot. The terminal tells me: "Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled." Immediately after that the login screen flashes up, effectively rebooting the session I was in. I'm afraid I don't know too much specifics about my system right now, as I am on a Windows partition (I want to use Wine so I can stop using Windows). If anyone needs more information I will be happy to add it.

There are two conflicting bits of information here:
1) "it causes the computer to reboot."
2) "before it sends me back to the login screen"

So are you just getting sent back to the login screen after a second or
two of a blank screen or is your system actually reseting and going
through the boot sequence exactly the same as when you power on (i.e.
POST -> grub -> boot splash)?

They are two very different senarios, 1) describes a system crash, where
as 2) describes a X server crashing and restarting.

If you could confirm which it is, it'll make it easier for someone to
suggest what to try next.

Then you most likely have a bad graphics driver.
This is not a Wine problem; Wine is just the bearer of bad news.
Does 'glxgears' also crash?

What version of Linux are you using? What graphics card? What drivers?
Does reinstalling your graphics drivers (which should bring
them into sync with your kernel) fix the problem?

socphoenix,

Did you ever resolve this issue? i have just recently installed wine 1.1.20 on
Ubuntu 9.04 and as soon as i start wine it boots me to the login screen.

I have tried two seperate programs on Wine

warcraft 3 ~ it will start the loading screen and then boot me to login screen

Itunes ~ starts installing after about 5 seconds it boots me to login screen.

this is my video driver,

filename: /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko
license: GPL
description: ACPI Video Driver
author: Bruno Ducrot
srcversion: 240C6FAC0F04ADD8FA4B2C3
alias: acpi*:LNXVIDEO:*
depends: output
vermagic: 2.6.28-11-generic SMP mod_unload modversions
parm: brightness_switch_enabled:bool

Let me know if anyone has any ideas. how do i reinstall my graphics drivers?
im somewhat of a linux noob, but plan on sticking with linux if i can figure out wine.

Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /home/(user)/.xsession-errors for any relevant errors and warnings about drivers,etc. It looks to be a video driver / X / Glx interaction problem somewhere not wine exactly. Turn off Compiz and switch to Metacity (no effects) and see if it still happens. What's the output of 'lsmod' ?

Is Compiz turned of?

If it goes directly to the login screen, X probably crashes...

What graphics card do you have. (lspci output should be more useful if
you do not know, the line with VGA)

[kamikaze942]

ok, i saw this before it crashes in terminal it reads

fixme shell dllcanunloadnow stub

shutting compiz off does nothing.

The above seem to be the relevant lines about the display driver...

I have no idea how well / bad the VIA graphics driver work in general
/ with Wine.

It might be useless though...

That seem to be a very common error that does not appear to break
anything... (At least not for me, can someone that actually know
what's going on with Wine's code confirm this please?)

It's just an informational message stub not an error.

Your video drivers are crashing. I don't know how well VIA cards are
supported in Linux, but if Intel cards are any indication, not at all or
not well.

If it is possible to upgrade, get an NVidia card or (ugh) AMD/ATI.
Anything else is like shooting in the dark (worthless in other words.)

[kamikaze942]

yeah i looked at that driver list but my VIA card is not listed. I've done some searching and it looks like there have been alot of problems with the K8M890CE/K8N890CE Via card.

anyone else have suggestions?

[kamikaze942]

are there any nvidia cards or other video cards that aren't expensive? i can't afford a 150 dollar graphics card. any affordable solutions?

An older generation one?

Newegg <-- My own personal favorite. Also if you haven't yet , check the 'dmesg' log for any relevant segfaults after it relogs in.

[kamikaze942]

i think im going to go with an nvidia, i have no choice but to look for a pci express 16 or 1. I plan on using two monitors with the dual video cards, i haven't done this before and this is going to sound noob, but when i do get the new video, and install it, do i just plug both monitors up to the two different video cards and turn my computer on?

Not as powerful. Also, keep in mind the GS is the lower product
branch. The GT is the higher end.

Personally, I'd spend the $20 extra.

I got this one and it works great for me.

I am however more interested in it for its h264 decoding capability
now that nvidia has released a driver that does gpu decoding...
