I play a game called Ultima Online.. the client runs 100% just fine when im using xfce but crashes when im using kde? nothing else has changed on the system. i do use kdm ive tried gdm as well. any ideas? i can just log out, switch session to xfce and play the game with no issues.. but i like kde..
Me too. What versino of KDE? Is it a version with the desktop effects? If so, in the control panel, you can disable the desktop effects and troubleshoot from that perspective. Might not help, but its a starter.

ok so ive done some testing and i turned off the effects.. it seems if i use the desktop shortcut. env WINEPREFIX=/home/aaron/.wine/ wine C:\Program Files\EA Games\UOKR\UOKR.exe it crashes in a few minutes.. but, if i open a term, go to the UOKR folder, and type in wine UOKR.exe it will run for several hours without crashing.. any ideas?

Getting the log may be useful, to see what it does when it crashes: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-13df66c18b6efa2231f44e11d1e31a1479c880f5 Weird problem :-) No doubt it will have an interesting solution ... - d.

Which is strange, it used to work AFAIK. Can you test it with a simple app like 'echo $PWD'?

Just clarifying that> env WINEPREFIX=/home/aaron/.wine/ wine C:\Program Files\EA Games\UOKR\UOKR.exeis actually> env WINEPREFIX="/home/aaron/.wine/" wine "C:\Program Files\EA Games\UOKR\UOKR.exe"This is how the shortcuts look on my desktop (KDE 4.2). The quotes may not matter, but I know the forward slashes can be a b****. You can also do double-forward slashes.> env WINEPREFIX="/home/aaron/.wine/" wine "C:\\Program Files\\EA Games\\UOKR\\UOKR.exe"-Tres -- - Tres.Finocchiaro at gmail.com
Oh, the double quotes matter. If they weren't there, your terminal would interpret C:\\Program and Files\\EA and Games\\UOKR\\UOKR.exe as seperate arguments. Unless you put a backslash before each space, then it is recognized as "a space".
