WoW under wine and winecfg segfault

[daemonflower]

I am using wine actually only to play WoW on Gentoo Linux. On my desktop PC that works, but on my laptop the program crashes. This appears to be a fault in wine, because I cannot even use winecfg - it segfaults immediately:

Code: Select all

$ winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/helge/.wine'
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
Segmentation fault

I tried this with every wine version from 1.1.14 to 1.1.17, compiled with gcc 4.1.2, 4.2.4 and 4.3.3, and with and without deleting the .wine directory first.

Here's some debugging info that may or may not be of interest:

BTW, the line

Code: Select all

err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out 

which appears in the output of both winecfg and wine, suuggests that the pproblem lies in wineserver, but that is misleading. The line vanishes when I start wineserver manually, but the crashes remain.

The last lines of the output of wineserver -d -f after running winecfg:

Another clue is that there might be something wrong with the ALSA drivers, but I have no idea how to tell wine/winecfg not to use sound...

Looks like another bug with pulseaudio. Have you completelly removed pulseaudio from your system? And all of it's libraries that might interfere with ALSA?

[daemonflower]

Gee, good hint! I didn't even have an idea I had anything pulseaudio-related installed, but there were libs in a package called "emul-linux-x86-soundlibs".

I removed them and both WoW and winecfg start up properly. In winecfg I can't select any audio drivers though, and sound doesn't work. Does that mean I can't have sound? (I could live with that, though.)

Thanks!

Looks like that package contains all the 32-bit sound libraries not just pulseaudio. So you probably need to put it back if you want sound.

You can try set via registry sound to oss:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
Audio="oss"

I'm having the same problem with winecfg. It just stopped working. I've
tried nuking .wine and reinstalling 1.1.15, and also 1.1.17. I still can't
get winecfg (or anything to run)

I'm using:
Linux spectre 2.6.28-sabayon #1 SMP Wed Mar 11 14:25:13 UTC 2009 x86_64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

winecfg gives no output.. it just sits there. sometimes I get:
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

I put wineserver in foreground and there is a ton of spew. Here's the las
bit:
