WINE drives

[MobiusCoffee]

I am using Wine 1.1.13 in Ubuntu Hardy, and I am having a strange problem where when I try to access the "Drives" tab in winecfg. All I get is the message: "Failed to connect to the mount manager, the driver configuration cannot be edited."

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o3/Kefga_X/Screenshot-Wineconfiguration.png

So, after googling and being a little lost, I found this (http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-configure-wine-drives.-td21227268.html) which made me think my problem was running Wine in sudo, but I don't remember ever doing that.

running "winecfg" in the terminal, then switching to the "Drives" tab has this output:

~$ winecfg
err:service:RPC_Init RpcServerUseProtseq failed with error 1703
err:wineboot:start_services_process Unexpected termination of services.exe - exit code 1703
err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2


So, I am really curious. What is wrong and what should I do? I'm by no means an expert with linux, but I am fairly comfortable with some harder stuff. Please, if anyone knows what's wrong, help me out or point me in the right direction.

Edit:
I found a solution to this after searching some more. I found this command (http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f60a1aeeb2e4ef08a9b26dd38fd4ea2b1608f358):

sudo rm -rvf ~/.wine

Everything seems to be fine now.

I'm having the same problem and that command is not working.

So am I. +1

so am I

even rebuilding wine from source (some folks suggested that the packages might be defect) with latest git version (1.1.24) did not fix it.

When enabling full debug output (WINEDEBUG=+all winecfg) the error seems to be:
"Failed to connect to the mount manager, the drive configuration cannot be edited."

Which appears several times caused by different components.

I found a solution to my version of the problem: Since I use CUDA I had to use the NVIDIA 185 beta drivers (as ***buntu does/did not provide drivers with CUDA support). I now reverted to 180.22 (which are stable for Hardy and Intrepid but not officially supported by jauntys newer X server). So I had to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.cfg and add -ignoreABI to the server command (somewhere close to the end of the config file)
Not X runs again and wine does so too.
Isn't it nice that a graphics driver problem causes an error in the mount manager? I love intelligently designed software....

Moebios, ese código, por si no lo sabes, borra completamente el directorio wine

Same problem!

By the way, for anyone who needs to access their cd rom drive and the devices tab isn't working even with that command, you can do a symlink in your ~/.wine/dosdevices directory.

sudo ln -s path_name_here ~/.wine/dosdevices/e:

or if you don't want to use e: you can change it to whatever as long as no other drive is in that slot.

Your cdrom directory is usually in your /media/cdrom0 folder

that would come out to

sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/e:

worked for me anyways

This worked for me. Thanks.

Thanks it solved the problem, mow its mapping the drive. also resolved the disk space issue.
