wine users - Feb 2009 - Wine Slow on 64-bit Ubuntu?

Hey everybody,

Has anyone else noticed Wine starting up programs a lot slower on a 64-bit
Ubuntu compared to 32-bit?

When I had 32-bit Ubuntu installed on my system, WINE programs would start up
immediately, but with 64-bit, I have to wait at least 10 seconds for something
to occur. No error messages seem to occur, it just takes awhile to start up.

Everything is normal afterwards...

If it helps, winecfg reports that it "cannot connect to the mount
manager", and that the "drive configuration cannot be edited", in
the "Drives" tab.

Sounds like you do not have all the correct 32-bit libraries and Wine failing to
talk to HAL (dbus).

hm. This was a typical wine install, except I added the extra software source so
I could get the latest release straight from WineHQ.

v. 1.1.15.
