For those out there that like fixing strange problems, heres a good one.
So I've installed the latest version of wine (20050930), as a binary RPM.
I've configured it mostly fine. (fake windows drive, ect... with winetools)
I can run most basic windows programs just fine, (SOL.exe, notepad.exe, winmine.exe).
BUT whenever I use the File open/save dialog box (open/save it with: FILE -> OPEN /SAVE in notepad)
crash as soon as I select a 'real' FAT drive.
(its setup as 'D:' drive)
However I can browse my linux 'drives' just fine.
This applies to all programs, and even the few that CAN read/write a file directly to this 'D:' drive have odd issues. (basically related to scanning/browsing that 'D:' drive directory, not direct access to a known file in a known path.)
and there is just a symbolic link to it in the dosdevices directory under ~/.wine
also the user and group for the mount point are set to my main login ID, user group.
I can access this mount point just fine in Linux, read, write all that jazz.
However I once did notice a warning when extracting a file to that drive about Arc not being able to set file dates/times (or something to that effect)?
I believe this issue is caused by a misconfiguration somewhere (in WINE itself or some other system config file), of how this mount point is going to behave.
So any suggestions?
My System:
------------
SUSE 9.3 (x86_64 w/AMD 3200)
1GB RAM, 74 GB HD + 160GB HD
Also here is the exact error message when I run notepad for example.
I type a few characters in, click on Save As... choose my 'D:' drive, and:
Code:
file_set_error: No medium found
file_set_error: No medium found
err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 8 bytes in thread 0009 eip 557027cd esp 55b40ff8 stack 0x55b40000-0x55c40000
ALSO I've noticed my floppy drive light comes on. (it uses the /media and does not have a normal '/mnt' point)
could that be a problem as well?
any comments, or questions or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Its one of the most braindead windows apps ever. I think the issue has to do more with this wine configuration or some driver permissions or something.
I dont like the look of "NtQueryDirectoryFile" system function call. I suspect strongly now, perhaps some directory/file/somthing(?) structure is messing up whatever is supposed to be returned by that function.
No, it is not a mis-configure. Really, 20050830 is also fucked up. Running notepad should always work. It should never crash. I reverted back to version 20050524 a few weeks ago. My setup still works. I am trying verison 20050725.
