Wine cannot create directories

Post by Claudiu Bucur »

This has been an issue for me for over 1 year. I have tried several boards
but I do not get responses anywhere. Please take a look at this post.
Towards the end i pastebined a wine.log with detailed debug output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You were told then and you will be told now: DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT.
This messes up all of your permissions.

Please reply when you have done the following:

sudo rm -rf .wine
wine notepad

i have removed everything wine related from user and root, and
reinstalled wine, then done the following on a fresh install. a
notepad popped up and the wine directory has been created.


bobby@main ~/Downloads/PWI $ rm -r ~/.wine

bobby@main ~/Downloads/PWI $ wine notepad

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/bobby/.wine'

Bobby:

Try this next:

wine http://www.winehq.org

This should invoke Gecko and run.

BTW, what is the file system type where /home/bobby is located?
