Wine not working after recent updates.

[pfakaprolly]

Hi.

After recent updates on my laptop recently wine is unable to launch. Even config and so on is completely unable to launch after reinstall.

I can launch the linux version of Steam tho, but I have some errors there aswell. Where the games are not avalible anymore and the program tells me that I got no space on HD. That is something I suspect is related.

Thanks for any attempts for aiding me.

Same problem here.

Me too, after a kernel update from 3.13.0-58 to -59.

Everything works fine if I hold down shift on boot and load the -58 kernel.

Thank you.

The update contained an error then.

Please add to bug report, they tend to only work on ones with many users complaining.

This worked for me, but still gave error as it started my Picasa.
I opened terminal and started wine server.

wineserver -p

Then clicked on my Picasa Icon to load it. Error flashed but Picasa loaded.

same here even after purging and reinstalling everything, your command got it to open but now my library software won't install it comes up with an error that never happened before I am totally ************* as I really need that
and now ultra vnc fails too!

Thanks for this - was a lifesaver last night !

I hope they sort this out - it is bloody irritating to say the least.

I updated Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via the Software Updater at about 2330 UTC yesterday 2015-07-28 and when I rebooted (as required), WINE immediately stopped working. It worked properly up to the update and reboot.

From the Terminal, Wine returns nothing at all:

r@r-X550CL:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/r/.wine" wine C:\\Program\ Files\ \(x86\)\\FireTrust\\MailWasher\ Free\\MailWasher.exe
r@r-X550CL:~$

Nothing---------^

My suspicion is the kernel update has broken WINE.

My suspicion is the kernel update has broken WINE.

Have you tried booting via the previous working kernel?

[cmcanulty]

kernel fix opened for me after I also ran

wineserver -p I saw on a forum last night forget where, big hassle reinstalling everything in wine
now I am afraid to run updates

[RobotOfBarr]

I didn't know I could (!), but I have, and yes, that works as before. So is my suspicion confirmed?

I specially renewed my Ubuntu forum account to write this message... :-)
(the more report the better)

It took me a long time before I figured out why my Netlinx studio would not run, when it
worked perfectly! yesterday, even reinstalling to Wine 1.7.44 did not help...

The above message did help, rolling back to -58 and everything is working fine,
so there is a problem with Kernel 3.13.0-59 and Wine.
I can remember I that there was a notice in Dmesg about a segmentation fault.

Well, that is good in as much as you at least have a working system, which will buy you some time whilst you get a solution for the newer kernel, not sure if what cmcanulty is offering above is a fix.

In case you hadn't found it, here is a thread with the same issue..

Same here - rolled back to -58 and all works as before. I didn't need "wineserver -p".

(Sorry Moderators: I didn't find this thread, please delete the other if you wish - "Update 2015-07-28 has broken WINE")

I was having this problem and I rolled back the Kernel on reboot :-


To choose which kernel you want to use, at boot, hold down < Shift> to see the Grub menu, scroll down with the arrow keys to "Advanced options for Ubuntu", and you will see a menu where you can select a kernel. You want one of the ones that doesn't say "(Recovery mode)".

This worked for me.

Threads merged.

New kernel! Wine is working again! :p

Latest update ( -61) seems to have solved the problem for me too. Thanks to all who helped.
