Summary: Xnews fails wih 20050310
Product: Wine
Version: 20050310
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-programs
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: jifl-wine at jifvik.org
[Sorry if this is the wrong component - I'm not sure which is best]
I have followed various FAQs on setting up WINE to run the free Xnews
newsreader. However despite following these FAQs to the letter, Xnews does not
run correctly. If I double click a newsgroup, it attempts to connect. But then
does nothing more, including no screen updates although CPU usage goes to 100%.
Sometimes I can recover it somewhat if I press ctrl-c, or sometimes that doesn't
work and the windows still don't repaint, or sometimes it results in a spew of
messages in the terminal I started it with of:
err:syslevel:_EnterSysLevel (0x7766d500, level 2): Holding 0x77562d40, level 3.
Expect deadlock!
I have tried using native DLLs from both Win98 and WinXP, but the behaviour is
identical. My wine config was:
-=-=-=-=-=-
WINE REGISTRY Version 2
[Version]
;; Windows version to imitate
(win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win30,win31)
"Windows" = "win98"
;; [DllOverrides]
; some dlls you may want to change
;; "shell" = "native, builtin"
;; "shell32" = "native, builtin"
;; Xnews working config
;;[AppDefaults\\Xnews.exe\\DllOverrides]
"comctl32" = "native"
"commctrl" = "native"
"riched32" = "native"
;; "shell.dll" = "native"
;; "shell32.dll" = "native"
;; "comdlg32.dll" = "native"
-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-
The commented DLLs are other native DLLs I tried.
I also reverted to the 20050211 snapshot RPM but that didn't help. Given other
comments from people on how it "just worked", I suspect it's some regression in
Wine somewhere. But unfortunately I cannot obtain older RPMs.
