wine 1.3.30 update

l_Thorium · 2011-10-11 09:44:18

wine 1.3.30 updated today. Most Application crash now. It's possible to come back on 1.3.29 ? How ?

In the previous version, you must use "wine regedit" to change a key and enter "alsa" or "oss". The current version changes the management of sounds. If I find how to fix the problem I will post here.

I have same problem, I use Wine ONLY for mIRC and - crashed! My problem here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128101

I'm go back to 1.3.29, just change mirror to:

Server = http://schlunix.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and reinstalled wine: pacman -Syy wine

Alternatively install the old package from cache

It's better, I used to run 'sudo pacman -Sc' each time after big packages like wine were installed
Now I would keep them there for a week or so in case any time a strange program crashed with an strange error message

Thank you for your feedback. Temporarily restarted using version 1.3.29-2 with change in the registry.

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/wine-1.3.29-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Add this in the registry (wine regedit) :

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

Should be a string such as "alsa" or "oss" or "coreaudio".

Thank you for making your repository available. I couldn't use cache because I had not previously installed wine.

It also turns out that Wine has a known bug (28399 & 28513) that affects Amazon Kindle for PC. I went back to wine-1.3.26-1-i686 and the current version of Kindle is working fine. (Didn't bother with audio.)

I would like to regress to 1.3.29 using this method (I had also not installed wine before on this system, so I can't downgrade with cache), but I can't seem to get pacman to do anything other than install 1.3.30. I must be missing a step here. Maybe I need to clean a cache file of my 1.3.30? Is there a way to force pacman to install 1.3.29? If so, what's the command?

It's also good to know that wine is an easy one to compile from source, even more so in Arch via ABS. And you can get source for any version you want. Then tweak the PKGBUILD and take off. I've been stuck for a while now at v1.3.14 for Quicken to work perfectly. And there I probably will stay until a Linux personal finance app can do for me what Quicken does.

While more advanced folks might want to build from source, I simply copied down wine-1.3.26-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz from PoohBah's site, used pacman -R to remove 1.3.30, and pacman -U to install 1.3.26. http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.xz

You can use IgnorePkg to prevent pacman from reinstalling 1.3.30. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman. Note the previous post about alsa in this thread if you want audio.

Always safer to get source from known reliable source and build it yourself. I took the lazy geek's way...

I eventually did find the page that had the tar files on PoohBah's site. I snagged 1.3.29-2, the release prior to the troublesome one and that actually worked great with my old .wine directory that I had from my previous installation with seemingly no problems. The Office 2007 installer I was trying to run still didn't work, but that wasn't an issue since I had it all installed in my backed up .wine directory from my Ubuntu installation.

Still worried about the fact that the installer won't run, and audio isn't working in wine at all, but that's for another thread.

See post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1002055 re audio. I know that mine would have required configuration as it was not configured after install.

Try working with winecfg and install winetricks, if you haven't already done so. The wine forums are more helpful than the wine faq/wiki for resolving issues. Google is your friend.

Wine is a mixed blessing. It is a miracle that it works at all. However, it is far from solid, even on its best days. With persistence, it can be useful in limited roles. It is not the sort of software that one can reasonably expect to "just work."
