Wine just DIED.

[AndrewTheArt]

This is completely inexplicable to me.

I has been using Wine in Fedora Core 6 for some time without a hitch, but then I rebooted into Windows for approximately 2 weeks.
At this point I decided to give Fedora another try, so I booted into it.
However, Wine basically just died.
Essentially, any executable that I run (ones that DEFINITLEY worked before) only shows part of the GUI, or none of it. Even winecfg is being retarded. I get windows that are "transparent with not content - they are just showing my KDE Desktop background pic and the icons.

Here's an example of me trying to run the Putty binary....



One of the error I get is -

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x608121a0 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 000c, blocked by 000b, retrying (60 sec)

Also, I have tried disabling SELinux and uninstalling/reinstalling WINE, to no avail of course.

You can try removing your .wine directory. That might clear things up.

rm -rf ~/.wine

Note that doing this will remove ALL your configuration settings for wine, as well as any programs you've installed under wine. Once you've done this, you can re-set up wine for using winecfg

winecfg
