Issue with WINE and PlayOnLinux

Hi All,

I am trying to run some Windows apps using PlayOnLinux but am not getting very far, I have posted into the forum to get help directly.

Ignoring the PlayOnLinux problem I tried using WINE directly, when it opens a Window I cannot click buttons or interact with the windows internals. All I can do it minimise it or close it using the KDE controls. The window contains a readable font, an image as well as a dropdown and buttons for cancel and continue. None of which I can interact with.

I have installed wine, wine-mono and geckodriver as well as linking the fonts directory from my Windows partition and run "fc-cache -f" as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microsoft_fonts and since I can see text in the window assume this is working. I have also installed the 32bit libs required for my particular graphics card.

The terminal doesn't show much useful when I run the app, only this:

000f:err:service:process_send_command receiving command result timed out
000f:fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"WineBus" failed to start: 1053
0015:err:service:process_send_command receiving command result timed out
0029:err:plugplay:handle_bus_relations Failed to load driver L"WineHID"

Am I missing something, I have the components I think I need and have setup fonts to work. What else do I need to do?

I am running PlayOnLinux 4.2.12 on Arch Linux Kernel 4.17.2-1, using KDE 5.47.0 / Plasma 5.13.2 and KWin as my Window Manager. My system specs are a Core i7-3770K with 32GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 770.

pacman -Qs wine

Does winecfg work ?

---

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Issue with WINE and PlayOnLinux

It does, winecfg worked just fine on both screens.

So I ran the application again and it does seem to work, but only on my second screen. If I move it to my main screen I cannot click on anything again. Not had this problem before, I was able to run WINE in Ubuntu on this machine some time ago.

I will look at configs to see if I can force it to work with the main screen.

local/wine 3.11-1
    A compatibility layer for running Windows programs
local/wine-mono 4.7.1-1
    Wine's built-in replacement for Microsoft's .NET Framework

Edit: I just tried running it as a emulated virtual machine and this window works fine on both screens, perhaps that's my workaround.
