Key typeing not recognized on Wine 1.6 + RHEL 5.4

rushtosiva · Post by **rushtosiva** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 4:26 am

Hi,

I have RHEL 5.4 and on that I installed Wine 1.6. When I tried to notepad.exe using wine, the notepad came up and I was able to use the mouse to click on the menu items. However, as soon as I type something on the notepad, it hangs and it stops responding for both key press and mouse click. Whenever I launch the notepad using Wine, I get the following messages on the console:

[root@myPC ~]# wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe"

I also tried running wine as follows as found in one of the responses in this forum:
env XMODIFIERS='' WINEPREFIX="/root/.wine" wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe"
But still, no luck. Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Never run Wine as root. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_as_root

Delete the wineprefix you created as root and try again as a normal user.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tried running as non-root user, but still the application (notepad.exe) got hung when I tried to type in something.

Terminal output?

Nothing is getting displayed on the console when I run as non-root user.

Try a clean wineprefix.

Isn't there any solution for this issue? Am I missing something? Btw, I tried with GNome, twm and fvwm window managers, but saw the same issue in all of them.

bash-3.2$ env XMODIFIERS=''

Why are you specifying that? If you are using some sort of keyboard switching program (e.g., SCIM), those are known to cause problems in Wine.

Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

Install wine-gecko.

You should also try upgrading Wine to the current development release.
