<Workaround Found>Problem With Wine After Update

[Ray2047]

After today's update of Wine IrfanView crashes when I try to run it. No specifice error when started from GUI in CL I get:

Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0380000c at address 0x7e969dc6 (thread 0009), starting debugger

I did reboot just in case that would help. I guess as last resort I will try a new install. The one other program I run in Wine does still work.

Tried reinstalling IRFan view but no luck. Tried reinstalling Wine but no luck. The message "Irfanview encountered serious problems and will close" gives me no clue nor does "Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0380000c at address 0x7e969dc6 (thread 0009), starting debugger". Thanks for any help.

Hi, sounds like you just need the older version of wine that worked, just have a forum friend attach the rpms of wine and libwine in an emai, or google up
older mandriva versions. Change synaptic settings to save rpms in the cache, and save the important ones to media, for future good luck.
Cheers

Yes, I am considering that but it is something I have never done. Not sure of the details on how to do it. Thank you for the reply.

IrfanView works fine with the new wine-version here. Try to delete your hidden folder ".wine" in your HOME-folder. Then start IrfanView again.

Hi, I rename .wine to wineold etc if it contains things I want to keep, starting a new wine will build a new .wine folder,
then copy back the good parts. I have read where the extra wine utility programs may be problematic in some cases, so
maybe hold off on installing them

To get a separate /home partition, choose custom partitioning during the install, the gui displays existing partitions, so delete them,
choose about 10 gig for the root partition, lots more if you are into big games/movie-downloads, use double your ram amount for /swap,
and the rest for /home. Usually a beboot will be beeded, then follow the installation.

Manual rpm installation would be a simple command.

rpm -i winexxx.rpm libwinexxx.rpm

If rpm says depencencies exist, you'll have to fetch them, but yours should be installed from the update.
Cheers

Forcing Wine to recreate a new folder stopped Irfanview from starting at all. Will need to add a DLL before I can try to reinstall it. Will be back later.

Well installing Irfanview into a new dot folder didn't help. Irfanview still crashes on opening.

For me this works for the last 5 years:
Install IrfanView in MS-Windows, then copy the entire C:\Program Files\IrfanView\ folder and paste this folder in your home-directory in PCLinuxOS. Open a konsole in this directory and enter:

Code: [Select]

wine iview_32.exeNever had any problems with IrfanView. In addition, it might be a good idea not to use the latest version. I use version 3.97 which even allows to drag/drop files.

Pinoc, good suggestion but I currently don't have a Windows install I could copy from.
I'm using verson 4.25 of Irfanview.

For me, at works, see here

Going to an older version of Irfanview as suggested worked. Odd my new version use to work but hey, it does what I want now. That's what counts.

Ray,

Did you have mfc42.dll in the folder .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 ?  This is usually my problem when irfanview won't run.

Oh yes, the infamous mfc42.dll! You can't even install it with out that. First thing I checked but thanks for the question.
