weird issues with wine 1.5.18

[ZombieRedShirt]

Hello. I'm trying to compile wine 1.5.18 under ubuntu 11.10 x64, and there are some rather odd problems. The most annoying one is that the text in the winecfg application settings box is now arranged side to side with a fair amount of white space between program names, instead of the usual list. Also, no items in the application settings box can be interacted with, like being clicked on for instance, as though something else has focus.

The other problem is that often, anything I launch, be it winecfg or steam, will be accompanied by an error message saying something like "the program (unidentified) has enountered a serious error and needs to close", with nothing helpful showing up in either the "more information" box, or from the terminal. I didn't do anything odd with hacks, and I tried this with a fresh wine prefix, with the same results. Any info greatly appreciated, like what the blazes is going on.

Any warnings from ./configure?

Any warnings from ./configure?

Thanks for responding. Aside from some warnings about opencl, libhal and a couple of other things I've been getting for awhile, I'm getting the following:

configure: libOSMesa 32-bit development files not found (or too old), OpenGL rendering in bitmaps won't be supported.

Is that something I should be worried about? If so, how could I correct it?

Also, note that I tried the wine package in the ubuntu ppa, and had the same issue with text in the application settings box. So it may not be something that I'm doing.

Post terminal output from running winecfg in a clean wineprefix.

Here we go;

Code: Select all

sirbubbles@sirbubbles-desktop:~$ export WINEPREFIX=/home/sirbubbles/testwine
sirbubbles@sirbubbles-desktop:~$ winecfg

I tried this with my old version of wine, and there was actually more terminal output, so I don't think this will help.

You're right, it doesn't help; the console output looks perfectly normal.

Was this from your build, or a distro package?

Well the first time was built from source, the second time was with the ubuntu ppa wine. Also, I've tried building wine 1.5.17, and no such issue exists there.

You say that the Ubuntu 1.5.18 package has the same problem. Was this package installed on your system at the same time you were testing your own build, and if so, are you absolutely sure you were running your own build and not the packaged one?

Has anything else changed on your system recently?

Winecfg looks normal on my system (openSUSE) in 1.5.18, and no one else has reported this, so I don't think it's a Wine regression. However, you could try running a regression test to see what it turns up.

Initially, I was using my own custom build of wine, using the path command, ie "PATH=/path/to/wine/bin:$PATH". Later, I was using the ubuntu ppa version of wine with the same results on multiple wine prefixes, both new and old. Also, I've had the same problem with my ubuntu 11.10 install which is in a virtual machine, and my real ubuntu 12.10 install. I couldn't tell you with any certainty what had changed, aside from regular system updates. I'm also not confident in my ability to do proper regression tests, but I'll look into it.

Also, just to be clear, the problem is mainly in the portion of winecfg which lists the application settings for various programs, but the issue doesn't appear elsewhere. I could provide an image if that would help.

What happens if you run it from the build directory?

[dimesio]

Nevermind: I see the problem. I'll run the regression test.

[dimesio]

I filed http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32300 for the regression in winecfg. Reverting the patch in question fixes that problem.

What I can't reproduce is the crashing you report; all my apps are running fine. Do you also experience the crashes with the Ubuntu packages? If so, try reverting that commit and see if that fixes the crashes, too.

[ZombieRedShirt]

I think that crash only happened when using my old wine prefix with the new wine. I don't think it happens with a new prefix, so I'll just leave that for now. Thanks for your help.
