Wine hangs forever

Here is what an strace gives :
strace -f -ff -o wine winecfg

Hi Fred,

could it be, that you hit https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/42169 ?

I tested winecfg from wine 0.9.22 in edgy now, and it works perfectly.

I'm running Kubuntu-Desktop....
So I can't confirm your bug.

Hi Stephan,

It doesn't seems to be bug 42169 :
 - Wine doesn't crash
 - Wine doesn't print any error message related to sound. Wine only prints :
$ winecfg
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
 - I tried the workarounds of bug report 42169 : No effect

I tried wine on another machine (installed from Edgy beta CD) : It works fine.
My main machine was upgraded from Dapper to Edgy : Could it be a side effect ?

Hi Fred,

this could be, I just using a new installed edgy on this laptop.

I have to do a vmware installation of dapper and upgrade to edgy for trying to reproduce.

Hi Stephan,

I have found something !
I created another user on my main machine : Wine works when I am logged under that username account.
So the problem is somewhere in my home folder...

I will try to find what it is exactly.

I will keep you posted about what I found.

Regards,
Fred.

I'll close this bug report, because I think it's a local issue.
Fred, please report back when you found the issue what caused the problem on your account. It could be, that others will have similar problems.

Thx for your bugreport :)

Hi Stephan,

I found the problem ! :-)
Finally it wasn't a local issue at all. Wine works when I launch it through xnest, but Wine doesn't work in a "normal" session no matter what user do it.
I lead me to think it was related to Xorg and I found I hit :
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-mga/+bug/58721

So using the workaround (adding UseFBDev in xorg conf), wine works again.

Hope it helps !

Regards,
Fred
