gecko can't run

Post by allisfree »

It always crash when I run wine iexplore www.winehq.org. I have tried to remove ~/.wine

Then, I remove .xinitrc, run xinit, run wine iexplore www.winehq.org, everything is fine.

Does the wine have a dependency on KDE?

Where to paste the debug logs? WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid wine iexplore www.winehq.org &>winebug.log The log seems increase for ever. So I kill the command. Although the log is 51M.

No, nor does it have one to Gnome.

I have another system installed on an usb drive, with the same .xinitrc, the same desktop environment KDE (but usb system have a full installation).

the wine gecko on my usb system works fine. I can chroot in usb system on the previous normal system, and it works fine too.

So I guess some dependency is broken.

p.s. wine works fine except gecko on my normal system

This is extremely dangerous if you are chrooting to the root user. Wine
should not be run as root unless you have a special reason to do so.

Did you originally run Wine as root? This looks like a dependency
problem, not a Wine one.

I use:

Code: Select all

sudo chroot --userspec=foo:foo .

Ok, as long as Foo is not a privileged user..

Clarification: This looks like an OPERATING SYSTEM dependency. Wine
only runs in user space and can only do what you tell it to do...

The problem has been resolved. Just change the LC_CTYPE from zh_CN.utf8 to en_US.utf8
