I'm using a fresh install of Fedora Core 5 with the RPM install of Wine 0.9.12. When I run winecfg, it says "wine: creating configuration directory '/home/vince/.wine'..." as I expect it to. Following that is many lines of "Font metrics" progress with a few "fixme:font" messages. Nothing seems too unusual. But, when it gets to "Font metrics: 100.0% done", it just hangs there forever. If anyone knows what might be happening or some troubleshooting steps I could try, I would be very grateful. - A directory that looks like a .wine directory is created, but the directory name is suffixed with a dash and a seemingly random string. For example: .wine-d7DD26 - The following processes seem to be related: vince 11532 11529 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/../bin/wineprefixcreate --quiet --wait --prefix /home/vince/.wine-d7DD26 vince 11552 1 0 00:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/../bin/wineserver vince 11549 11532 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 wine.inf vince 11529 11226 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 /usr/lib/../bin/wine-pthread winecfg.exe - If I use strace -p 11549, in this case, the system call it's hung on is "recv(12, ".

I don't know if this is helpful at all.A more complete strace of winecfg and wineprefixcreate would be helpful. Daniel

If you look at the lines in the trace after socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 11 you should be able to find further system calls that specify the IP address to connect to (look for connect(...)).> Can I attach files to a mailing list?

In the case of a strace, the last couple lines could be useful or useless without the preceding chunk. It would be best if you had some way to put those files onto a webserver or ftpserver. Daniel

Just to be on the safe side, it would be better if you could verify that this problem also appears when you build wine yourself and that this is not a packaging bug. Daniel
Thanks to all who replied on this thread.
I've re-installed my OS and learned how to overcome my installation problems
and everything is working fine.
I've come to the conclusion that the problem was not related to either wine
or cups.
As I mentioned in one of the threads, it was a fresh install of FC5. The
install didn't go smoothly and I was originally only able to get it to
complete if I selected only the base install. I later installed the other
software that I wanted using Apt.
After posting my problems with wine, I discovered that I was having other
problems which were always related to connecting to a listening server. I
was able to connect to the cups Web admin interface via Web browser, but a
process would hang when I tried to connect to the server another way. Other
problems included the RedHat Graphical Boot not working and not being able
to connect to the freeciv game server (a very important problem ... LOL).
I don't see how the RHGB might've been related, but I believe that my
original installation probably left me with some corrupt libraries.
Specifically, I suspect that freeciv client, Firefox printing, and wine all
use the same library to connect to a listening server on a certain port and
that was corrupt. I haven't verified this and I can't reproduce the
problems. Everything's working now :)
Thanks,
Vince
