Issues with Wine (1.8.3) [SOLVED]

LuigiR0jas_ · 2016-06-30 17:06:35

Greetings!
The other day I waked up feeling risky, I wanted to do something really troublesome and challenging . So I decided to install Arch
So far it has been an awesome experience, I've spend hours and hours reading and learning, despite all the inherent frustration almost everybody must feel when installling and setting up such a complicated mess (of course, from a newbie perspective), it's incredibly rewarding when things work after a lot of trying, and it's fascinating to watch how things work on a level most people don't even think about. Although there is actually a problem I wanted to address, my desire to stop being a lurker led me to create my account in this forum wishing to become active, so this is my very first post, and I'm really excited and looking forward to become part of this community!

Anyway, I will not take anymore of your time with my emotional introduction, let's talk about bussiness (?).
Installed Wine yesterday but I haven't been able to make it work properly. Today tried to install AIMP3, this was the outcome:

Resizing the window and moving it shows another black window behind it, but doesn't display anything:

if I press the apparent 'continue ' button, this is what follows:

And if I close it, this "Program error" window appears:

I ran:

 wine aimp_4.02.1725.exe &> error.txt

And this is the output of error.txt:

 fixme:thread:SetThreadPreferredUILanguages 4, 0x32f650, (nil)

I would try to install Lightshot, and the outcome would be a little different:

Resizing it would reveal:

After closing it, no "program error" window this time.

error.txt:

fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub
fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub
fixme:win:DisableProcessWindowsGhosting : stub

fixme:msg:ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx 0x2008c c057 1 (nil)
fixme:graphics:ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy (0x10080): stub

Similar things happen when trying to run something like:

 wine notepad

No error output this time.

Any idea of what could be happening? Thank you beforehand .

I've only got 2 things atm.
1) Please use thumbnails or something
2) Your WINE package is out of date if it is 1.8.3. The current Arch wine package is 1.9.13. Have you run pacman -Syu lately?

LuigiR0jas_ · 2016-06-30 21:58:49

I'm not sure how to apply thumbnails in this forum, sorry. And yeah, I have updated the system everyday, but I didn't install wine via pacman, I did it via Binaries. Should I reinstall through pacman?

Lone_Wolf · 2016-06-30 22:54:29

I didn't install wine via pacman, I did it via Binaries.

You have to remove the exisiting wine installation FIRST .
please describe in detail how you installed it so we can try to help you with that.

LuigiR0jas_ · 2016-06-30 23:36:28

Sure. Downloaded the .tar from their website, unpacked the .tar, did ./configure a first time, and it showed me that I needed 32 bits compatible libraries. So I checked the wiki, enabled multilib, downloaded several 32bit libraries including multilib version of gcc, did ./configure again, and everything went smooth. The only thing I recall from installation (besides the fact that it took freaking forever to install, I'd say like an hour or two) is this one 'warning' when I did the last ./configure, I'm not sure what it said but it had something to do with TrueFont, and if I wanted to install wine without it I had to run ./configure along another parameter, and that last time it worked. I'm sorry I can offer any more information, I've been trying to recall and searching for that exact warning but haven't found it.
Also, how can I unistall my current version of wine? I've found that I need to run

 sudo pacman -R nameofpackage

but it hasn't worked, pretty sure it is because I didn't install wine via pacman.

Read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

Lone_Wolf · 2016-07-01 11:15:53

cd into the directory where you ran the ./config commands from , and run "make uninstall" (you may have to su to root for that command to work).
post the output.

For future reference :

AL stock repos+ AUR have 35k+ packages available, search before downloading stuff yourself
never manually run config/make/make install on AL, create a PKGBUILD.

LuigiR0jas_ · 2016-07-01 15:40:58

The output of the uninstallation: https://shrib.com/OlJNjobxiXUJcp8?v=nc
What now? should I install through pacman?

Omar007 · 2016-07-01 19:15:17

For completeness you may want to run 'rm -rf /usr/local/share/wine' first since it seems that may have been left behind.
But yes, you should; pacman -S wine

PS. If you plan on using wine mostly for gaming you may want to install the wine-staging package instead; pacman -S wine-staging

Right now I'm not that interested in gaming, I installed wine mostly for running window apps I've used for a long time (Lightshot, AIMP3, Reaper DAW), though maybe soon enough I'll start playing games, so your recommendation is really appreciated! Does it have something in common with PlayOnLinux or are they different things?

Omar007 · 2016-07-04 09:58:28

wine-staging has some experimental patches that may or may not end up in wine eventually (for gaming the CSMT patches can really boost performance for instance).

PlayOnLinux is something entirely different. It uses wine but that is all it has to do with wine basically. PlayOnLinux is basically a collection of wine (prefix/bottle) configs to help you easily create the correct wine configuration for a given program.

It's not just gaming. wine-staging has fixes for other stuff, too (e.g some networking issues), and despite the experimental patches, is by and large stable here.

LuigiR0jas_ · 2016-07-14 01:05:10

I really appreciate all your comments and insight! Problem is now solved, sometimes just unistalling and installing again is the best thing you can do. I'm marking now the issue as solved. Thank you!
