Dear list, The latest "snapshot" is giving me serious guff, but I haven't seen any report of this in moire than a week, so it might be *my* installation. Setup : Debian unstable, often updated. Wine Tools as packaged for Debian by Scott. I have been able to use MS Office 2K apps with various degrees of success with Wine for more than a year. MS Access had some problems with windows focus, but was usable. Wine 20041201 solved this one, but introduced problems with IE (not really a problem for me...). I saw the windows management regressions in 200501xx and 200502xx, and reverted back to 20041201. I installed 20040310 as packaged by Debian maintainar (Hi, Ove ! ) and was unable to use most MS Office apps : with WinWord and Excel, wine dies with an X server error ; the initial screen of MS Access appears, but the same error appears after choosing an mdb file to work with. owerpoint did not die on me ; I didn't try to really use it, though. I captured the errors : - Attempt on MsAccess : fixme:font:SetMapperFlags (0xf8, 0x00000001): stub - harmless fixme:toolbar:TOOLBAR_SetRows multiple rows not supported! X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 593 Current serial number in output stream: 594 Wine failed with return code 1 - Attempt of Excel : fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to 0xb4 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 342 Current serial number in output stream: 343 Wine failed with return code 1 - Attempt of WinWord : fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_GetDeviceCaps (0xa8): CAPS1 is unimplemented, will return 0 fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to 0xcc fixme:powermgnt:SetThreadExecutionState (0x80000001): stub, harmless. fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:thread:NtSetInformationThread Set ThreadImpersonationToken handle to (nil) fixme:shell:SHChangeNotify unknown type 00000003 fixme:powermgnt:SetThreadExecutionState (0x80000000): stub, harmless. err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width 1702076 err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width 1702076 err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width 1702076 err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width 1702076 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 402 Current serial number in output stream: 403 Wine failed with return code 1 I tried to peruse the wine-developpers mailing list archive : this does not look like any problem already reported, and seems specific to this setup. Any ideas ? Any suggestions on how to pinpoint the problem ? Sincerely, Emmanuel Charpentier
