Wine windows are unclickable, with black areas

Archimaredes · 2017-03-16 00:59:59

I've just installed Wine for the first time on this system (amd64, kernel 4.10.2, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti with proprietary nvidia driver 378.13, GNOME 3.22.3) and all applications appear like this, with black areas:

Nothing happens when I click anywhere in either of the windows above. The top-right X button works, and oddly enough, if I close the FL Studio installer that way, the dialog box that appears for confirmation has clickable buttons.

Wine outputs nothing relevant to stdout/stderr.

I'm wondering whether anyone else is experiencing/has experienced the same issue and/or knows where to point me in terms of starting to debug this! Cheers!

I did an internet search for "wine black windows". It looks like it could be a couple of things.

Are you using the latest Nvidia driver? Are you using the latest Nvidia 32-bit driver?

Does changing the registry key for "ClientSideWithRender" help?

Also, you are missing some 32-bit package. Good luck finding out which one that might be though, if any...

I already saw these - regedit.exe is actually broken on my system probably due to the same problem. The latest versions of nvidia, nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils are installed. I fail to see why I would need to go and manually install any particular lib32 packages, since Wine lists the required ones as dependencies.

please post glxinfo32 , pacman -Qi wine , and the output from starting one of those applications from an x-terminal .

Here is an example of what I mean:

Here is an Arch Wiki page describing the extra "lib32-*" packages needed to run dozens of specific games. (Do a page-find for "lib32-".)

...I don't know if that's what's causing the issue on your computer though. It was just an idea.

Rule out gnome (compositor/WM bug might clamp the client and intercept input): install icewm or openbox etc. log into such session and try the behavior there.
Also please dump

env | grep -iE '(GTK|GDK)'
