How can Wine, access again, my Windows partition?

[Giorgos]

Hi!

My system is Kubuntu 13.10, Linux 3.11.0-12, KDE 4.11.2, Wine 1.6.

I just upgraded from 13.04 -> 13.10.
Due to changes in UDisk2, now my windows partition is no longer mounted at /media/DOCS/, but it's mounted at /media/giorgos/DOCS/ instead.

Now, Wine faces several problems.
Eg. launching thw Wine configurator, returns this error:

Code: Select all

The program (unintentified) encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check the Application Database for tips about running the application.

"Show Details" (doesn't do something, other than closing the message).
"Close"

Is it possible to reconfigure Wine, in order to access the DOCS partition?
TIA!
Giorgos.

The 1.6 packages for Ubuntu 13.10 are reportedly broken, and that's probably what you're running into. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34759

You can try the 1.7 package, though the latest comment in the bug report suggests that it, too, is broken. If that doesn't work, your choice is to either build Wine yourself or wait for a fixed package.

Oh I see!
Indeed, I have the x64 version.

I think, I'll wait for the fix.
THANKS!!!

You can apt-get install wine1.6:i386 on a 64-bit system and have it work
just as normal (provided you have a 32-bit .wine)

Giorgos read the bug. Remove 64 bit version of wine install i386(32 bit version of wine). As long as the applications you have are in win32 prefixes everything is now good.

Yes you have 2 versions of wine at your disposal.

THANKS!!!
I have now both versions (32-64bit) and Wine works.
However, every time I'm launching a program, it displays 2-3 times the above mentioned error, before running the program.
Then the program runs flawlessly.
Same behavior with Wine 1.7.

I'm just reporting it.
I have no problem with that, since I'm able to run the programs.

OK! With the last update, the problem now is solved.
Thanks again for your help!!!

Giorgos that error message was just the 64 bit version still crashing but once you had 32 bit version installed it kinda got there in the end. Update eventinally fixed the 64 bit version.

In fact the 64 bit version should not have been installed without the 32 bit version. Yes there was broken packaging as well.
