Concise Oxford English Dictionary

[peterthebike]

I have been using this for many years on Ubuntu but I find every so often it will not run and I have to re-install it. Currently I am on Ubuntu 13.10 and after using the Software Updater recently it seems the Concise Oxford will not run.

Running it from a terminal there are no error messages. In fact after entering:

Code: Select all

wine coed11.exe

it returns to the prompt after a short delay.

Is there a way of diagnosing the problem please?

Try reinstalling to a clean wineprefix.

after using the Software Updater recently it seems the Concise Oxford will not run.

What exactly did you update? If it was Wine, what version did you update to? If you upgraded to 1.7.15, and a clean wineprefix doesn't fix the problem, please run a regression test and file a bug. http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting

What exactly did you update?

Not sure because I normally just accept the prompt to run the Software Updater and because of how often I use the dictionary, I could not say which update might have caused the problem.

Today after booting up my PC I just tried to run the Concise Oxford. It loaded up for the first time in about 3 days!

The annoying thing is a number of other programs I run under Wine have always continued working OK. It has always been this one that sometimes stops working. I will wait until it stops the next time and try reinstalling to a clean wineprefix.
