WineConsole Font Issue

[AsadMoeen]

Well many of you already know about the error but I'll still like to explain. I'm actually trying to get a Game Server Run on Linux without the X-server/VNC running. The server works but I don't have any console. There are some users who actually got a console without Xserver/VNC running on their game server using wineconsole so I'm trying to do the same but wineconsole would always give me this error,

Code: Select all

err:wineconsole:WINECON_Fatal Couldn't find a decent font, aborting

Googling the error showed a lot of stuff which I tried. Some people say that if you set the LANG variable, you can get past the error which didn't work for me. After that I downloaded mstcorefonts fonts which also didn't help.

I manually tried to edit user.reg files and set mstcorefonts there but on running Wine, it would auto over-write those files. Also tried to set it using regedit by installing VNC/xterm but running wine would again put all the values to default.

Here is what I'm running:

Code: Select all

uk:~# wine --version
wine-1.0.1-174-gc4039bd

If anyone has a solution, please come up. Already spent a lot of time on this.

Code: Select all

uk:~# wine --version
wine-1.0.1-174-gc4039bd

That version is over three years old and is no longer supported here. Upgrade. The current development release is 1.4-rc2.

Perhaps thats the fix then.

I added Wine's Sourceforge in Debian's Repo to upgrade but I still can't find the proper version. The deb files are all unstable releases.

There are NO unstable releases of Wine, just in-process, tested,
development releases. The folks building Wine packages named them as
'unstable' because the code changes about every two weeks.

If by "unstable" you mean the development branch, that is exactly what you need. The most recent release in the stable branch is over a year old. But if you really want "stable" (which means "doesn't change" not "doesn't crash"), you could just wait for 1.4.

Okay it works good, got it working with required dependencies.

On running Wineconsole for the GameServer, it gives a black screen and when quit it by Ctrl+C, you see these lines on top:

Code: Select all

uk:~# wineconsole /home/drfunk/service43/SoF2MP-Test.exe +set dedicated 1 +map mp_shop

Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window

Well these are what the normal wine says too but server runs although without console but err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window is something new I see including the black screen.

Wine needs/desires/requires that a Xserver be running. There has been
discussion on how to 'fake' an X server on the forums in the past with
a quite lengthy description on how this can be done. Please search
for it.
