Dwarf Fortress Wine Issue

It's been a while since I brought this up, but I'm still having this issue.
Basically the issue comes down to some glib conflict with dwarf-fortress that I have had a good deal of trouble tracking down.
Here's the error trace:

In order to fix a separate PANGO32 problem, at least partially, I implemented the hack found here in case anyone is having trouble on this account. This does not seem to fix every issue with GTK, as you can read above. Does anyone know what might or does fix this issue?

I'm not sure if there's a specific reason you're running through Wine, but you could always get one of the test releases from here. There's a native Linux version, among other fixes.

  • Dwarf Fortress Wine Problem

    I am having trouble with wine and I am worried that it is symptomatic of some larger issue.
    Whenever I try to run dwarf-fortress, from term or wine-explorer, I get an "Error creating OpenGL window" dialog.  I have yet to try other apps. I just wondered if others had encountered something similar.

    Hmm. One last issue along this vain. I tried out the aur package and am having trouble. I run Arch64, so I am well aware of the dreaded ELFCLASS64 error. I got this because I did not have lib32-(sdl or sdl_image) installed but once it got running I got all sorts of ELF errors thrown by pango as well some others below:
    I get the following repeated a number of times.
    (dwarfort.exe:14665): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Then a dialog box with open boxes for text, which is probably what this error is all about.
    I assumed that this was the fullscreen? yes or no? dialog. I pressed the "NO" button, marked with red circle, and got the following error.
    (dwarfort.exe:14673): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance of invalid non-instantiatable type `<invalid>'
    (dwarfort.exe:14673): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_destroy: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
    (dwarfort.exe:14673): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance of invalid non-instantiatable type `<invalid>'
    (dwarfort.exe:14673): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_destroy: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
    I'm not quite sure what to make of this.
    I made sure that I have lib32-pango and pango for 64 installed, so I have no idea why this would cause problems. And I just don't know what to make of glib errors. I installed lib32-glib just in case, but got the same error.
    Any thoughts?

  • Trying to run Dwarf Fortress on Arch64

    I got it to run by installing a bunch of lib32 packages. It runs fine in text mode but crashes in graphical mode with the following errors:
    (dwarfort.exe:30070): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Now, every time I got errors like this before I corrected it by installing the corresponding lib32 package. The main problem here appears to be libclearlooks, but I can't find a lib32 version of it to install. The closest thing I could find was lib32-gtk-aurora-engine in the AUR so I installed it but it didn't fix the problem.
    What do I need to install to play Dwarf Fortress?

    DWilliams wrote:Until bin32-dwarffortress is updated, does anyone know how to make it run? I installed lib32-gtk-engines from the AUR as suggested but nothing appears to have changed.
    I ran into the same thing today. Solved it by uninstaling dwarffortress, completely deleting the /opt/df_linux folder (caution this will remove savegames), then reinstalling.
    By the way, diffs against the dwarffortress package for 64bit support are at http://pastebin.org/327652.
    (And a bit of self promotion - an updated version of dwarf therapist is at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38062 . A friend of mine who is totally into df swears by it Unfortunately it doesn't support 0.31.6 yet, only 0.31.5. )
    Edit: dwarftherapist-hg now supports 0.31.06

Here's a question, though: is it O.K. for libpng14 (as installed from [EXTRA]) and libpng12 (as installed from the AUR) to co-exist?
    yes since libpng12 only provides to so name and nothing more.
    O.K., that's great. Thanks again for your help.

  • [Solved] Playing dwarf fortress

    I have a linux version of df that I've played on another linux distro. However, on arch, I'm having problems with the libpng1.6 package. I get a window  saying
    Not found: data/art/Phoebus/16x16.png
    How can I downgrade from libpng 1.6 to 1.5? I've tried downloading the lib32-libpng15 package from aur, and installing that, but I still get the same result. So, I also tried removing the lib32-libpng package, but I'm getting dependency problems:
    spark: ~/df/df_linux : sudo pacman -R lib32-libpng
    [sudo] password for adam:
    checking dependencies...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

    :: lib32-libcups: requires lib32-libpng
    :: lib32-qt4: requires lib32-libpng
    :: lib32-sdl_image: requires lib32-libpng
    What is the recommended way forward here? Or is it even worth it? I could transfer this back to another OS to play to get around this problem.
    TIA.

    Well see, dwarf fortress is a bunch of binary code basically and the multimedia layer of that binary code tried to dynamically load a bunch of old libpng library versions at runtime. You can find out as much using strace. Now, simply tricking it to load a recent version of libpng wouldn't do the trick because the binary stuff was built with the old headers so that it doesn't know how the new API actually looks. If there is any API mismatch at all in relevant calls, it wouldn't work anymore. Since libpng changed the major version (1.5 -> 1.6), we know it wasn't meant to be compatible.
    The only proper thing to do from that point was to rebuild the code that uses libpng. I've done just that. Repo here: https://github.com/svenstaro/dwarf_fortress_unfuck

  • Starcraft II Beta Launcher (Wine) Issue

    Again I seem to be running into problems with this starcraft II beta, although this time it doesn't seem the problem has come up before -- wine doesn't have the answer after a fair amount of searching. I successfully installed it to one of my partitions, and the patches were all applied without a hitch, didn't get the slow firewall problem until the last patch application though, for whatever reason. I have an nVidia GTX 260 with the most current drivers installed. When I put the following command in the terminal it hangs on the bold and then goes through the rest to give me a popup window with a nice errorlog that I will post if someone thinks it is needed. Here is the terminal output.

    Thanks, and good call, but there is not any documentation I can find on a launcher failure, the bolded code above just seems to be associated with screen tearing -- which seems like usually is a driver issue (most of the examples are with WoW).
    Has anyone got the beta working with a GTX 260?

  • Wine issues

    hey, I have an issue using wine. when I try to install an app, all goes fine but they are no fonts. I see the menu but they're all blank. Old wine apps that were installed already works but installing new apps is awkward when you can't read any instructions because the dialog boxes are blank.

  • Wine issue

    i seem to be having a weird problem with wine. When i try running apps as a normal user all the text in the windows are missing. When i run the same app in wine as root it works fine. Here is a screenshot
    [URL=http://img127.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot7dh.png][/URL]
    if i run that as root the text shows up. any ideas on how to fix this?

    Uff i had the same problem, and i tried with copyng the fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts but the problem continues...
    I have installe those fonts:
    local/fontsproto 2.0.2-1
    local/gsfonts 8.11-4
    local/t1lib 5.1.0-2

    I tried with another user but i had the same result. Also i reinstalled wine (0.9.22) and the same stuff..
    Somebody has some idea?
    PD: The problem began when i simulated a windows's reboot (command wineboot)

  • ABS WINE issue, or simply looking for 20041019 package

    Hello folks. I am having a slight problem with WINE. I am in need of wine 20041019 package. I used to be able to run foobar2000 on WINE 20041019 flawlessly, with no redraw problem or anything and it was simply working like native. However, at one point, wine was upgraded to newer version and foobar2000 started having various problem.
    The problem is, I don't have that package cached and for some reason, I can't build functional WINE via ABS. Any version of WINE I installed through pacman worked, however, when I try to build WINE via ABS, it creates a WINE package, and I can install it, but it doesn't run. When I type in:
    wine blahblah.exe
    It hangs, without spitting out any error or doing anything, and I just have to Ctrl + C to kill it. It doesn't even start. WINE seems like the only package that doesn't build well, as I build various packages via ABS quite often. Other apps usually build quite well. I tried quite a few things to see if I could get foobar2000 to work again on WINE, but so far no go. I tried that sysctl thing as well as it was suggested with 2.6.10...
    If anyone has tips to build WINE, or have 20041019 package, let me know. I miss foobar2000  [/code]

  • Latest wine issues[SOLVED]

    did an upgrade yesterday and wine was updated. wine-1.1.14-1
    now I get this error:
    wine client error:0: version mismatch 380/381.
    Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
    or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
    Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
    I was using it minutes before the upgrade...

    I just upgraded it with wine running and there are no problems after relaunching it.
    Your problems is the old one is still running:
    pkill wine
    pkill exe
    htop or pstree
    I have seen the error message when I had several different wine binaries and tried to launch different apps with different binaries. So you can only have 1 wine server running that is specific to the binary used to launch it.

  • Eve online freezes on start (wine graphics detection issue)

    Hi,
    Basically my problem is - i'm getting
    err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly
    When trying to start eve online.
    I'm using Arch x86_64 on Dell Latitude e4300.
    My graphic chip is Intel GMA 4500MHD, with working intel driver (direct rendering works as per glxinfo).
    Wine version is 1.37.
    Ist this a wine issue? Any chance of convincing wine that my direct rendering works?
    Any info appreciated, thanks in advance.

    installing lib32-libgl (and enabling texture compression with driconf so textures are actually rendered) fixed it, thanks.
    I can now login/enter game.
    I'm now getting

    when trying to undock. Which is probably known intel driver issue/bug as i find a lot of hits in google (also here in testing repo forum section).
    But at least i can now trade/change skills/chat/spin ships...
    EDIT: With xf86-video-intel-git i can actually undock and fly around for 2-3minutes before it hangs.

  • Catalyst 8.6 breaks wine

    I'm not sure what has happened to my arch system but I've started having these odd graphical issues..
    First of all, I'm not sure when these started or what made them start.. I'm not that experienced with linux
    so it might have been something I've done with the system or not. But if you can help me track down
    and fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is some information first:
    Computer:
    Laptop LG P1 Express Dual
    gfx: Ati Mobility X1400
    KDE 3.5.9
    latest catalyst driver from pacman
    First of all, I played around with wine a while back and it worked fine then. Couldn't get the application to work
    so I eventually removed the .wine directory. Today, I figured I might play some Dwarf Fortress on my laptop too
    so I ran winecfg. Then suddenly BOOM! the screen goes all messed up (dont worry I have a pic and I will post it
    a bit further down) and I had to restart X using ctrl-alt-backspace. After relogging I ran winecfg again and it had
    made all the necessary files allready so it started up normally and with no probs. So, I decided to try out the
    game, tried running it and BOOM, screen goes haywire again. So again, I restart X. I remove .wine again to
    see if the problem goes away and if it was just some weird configuration glitch. I run winecfg and there goes
    the screen again. So this time I took a screenshot, restarted X and opened the pic.. This is how the screenshot
    looked like:
    So I had to do remove .wine again and do it all over again and this time I took a pic with my camera. And this
    is how the desktop looks on my screen after running winecfg OR the game I was trying to run with wine:
    edit: its confirmed that catalyst 8.6 drivers break wine. see link to ati unofficial bugtracker

    Tracking down my pacman.log I'd say that the propable cause is the upgrade from catalyst 8.5 to 8.6 since when I first installed wine I was still using 8.5 but now with 8.6 its not working anymore.

  • Lack of Connectivty to Domain Controller - Domain Controller Access Issues Requires Repeated Reauthentication

    Sorry if my attempt to be thorough in my description may result in excessive and unnecessary information. 
    I'm running into some problems with a single server running WS 2012 R2 as a domain controller (AD and DNS) and I’m trying to figure out what the cause is. 
    The network has ~10 computers on it connected through a cable business gateway (running DHCP) which feeds 2 switches and a wireless router acting as a switch. (I also turned on remote services, but the end users aren’t using that until I get certificates
    setup.)
    For 6+ months everyone had access to the shared files and databases on each workstation without issue. 
    In the last month users would occasionally have to re-enter their credentials to get access to shared server folders despite being on a domain account already. 
    Last week one of the computers intermittently cannot gain access to the shared folders– entering the correct credentials just results in the credentials being requested again and again: There’s an error icon at the bottom saying that “there are currently
    no logon servers available to service the logon request”.  While access is rejected I’m still able to ping the DC both via its name and IPV4 address. 
    (Pinging via its name results in an IPv6 address in the response.) 
    Other network connectivity appears intact (able to browse the web, perform network discovery.)
    Things that ‘seem’ to allow access on this computer until the next failure:
    Entering a different domain username and password into the windows credentials request has allowed access a couple of times.
    Disconnecting and reconnecting the network cable allowed the original username to be used to log on (at least once.)
    After removing it from and then rejoining it to the domain (a few hours ago) it experienced the problem once more. Also, logging on with domain credentials created a TEMP user folder instead of the folder with the domain username. 
    Looking at the event logs, I notice there are quite a few warnings and errors reported regarding DC access on many of the computers; maybe this is normal?
    Most Problematic Computer:
    Event ID 8016:  System failed to register host A or AAAA resource records. (With an unknown Ipv6 and the server’s ipv4 address in the DNS server list.) 
    Event ID 131:  NtpClient unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on ‘Server.domain.local’ 
    ‘No such host is known.”
    Event ID 5719:  NETLOGON. This computer was not able to setup a secure session with a domain controller in the domain due …..: there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
    And then pairs of: Event 1500: The Group Policy settings for the computer were processed successfully. There were no changes detected since the last successful processing of Group Policy. & Event 1054:
     The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not obtain the name of a domain controller. This could be caused by a name resolution failure. Verify your Domain Name System (DNS) is configured and working correctly.
    Event 1030:  The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to retrieve new Group Policy settings for this user or computer. Look in the details tab for error code and description. Windows will automatically retry this operation
    at the next refresh cycle. Computers joined to the domain must have proper name resolution and network connectivity to a domain controller for discovery of new Group Policy objects and settings. An event will be logged when Group Policy is successful.
    On the server I’ve run DCDIAG and DCDIAG /test:DNS and those all appeared to pass.

    Any thoughts? I was assuming it was a Domain Controller/DNS error, but I don't know where to check next.  Could a failing piece of hardware be the culprit?

    Hi,
    According to the error you have posted.
    A Netlogon 5719 event indicates that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against.
    Most of the time this is caused by network issues or name resolution (DNS/WINS) issues, you could refer to:

  • Win 7 dual boot with SafeBoot encryption halfway there!

    EDIT: Sorry for changing the title. It used to be Need those knowledgeable with Windows (esp. 7) for dual boot input, but I had some success and didn't want to start a whole new post. See the last comment for the update!
    Hi,
    Disclaimer: please don't feel compelled to issue warnings regarding doing this on a work computer. I'm aware of the risks, have talked about what I do on my computer (such as wiping it and installing Linux only over my Win issued encrypted system) with a higher-up in IT that I know well, and I have spoken with IT reps about my running Linux. They don't care; they just don't support it or help. I even have an online community for Linux users at work. I'm searching for a work-around that will allow me dual boot while fully maintaining the protection my company seeks by issuing encrypted systems (i.e. replacing a proprietary encryption tool with an open source one).
    I'm in a tricky situation. At work I'm issued a computer with SafeBoot, a full-disk encryption tool. On my last computer, I simply installed Arch over everything because dual booting was not possible. I really need Windows, but since I had a desktop as well for CAD usage, I used that for Win and just had Linux on the laptop. My lease just came up and I was issued a new laptop for the next three years. In addition, they upgraded the laptop so I can run CAD from it and they'll be taking my Windows desktop.
    So... I'm on a mission to try to find a dual boot solution. I used to run Linux from a flash drive, but sharing data was impossible since I still can't even mount the Win partition and the flash drive isn't big enough to hold anything useful besides the OS itself (8gb). Here's my hope forward:
    - Make a bootable clone of Win 7 while it's running with the hope that it's not encrypted
    - Test it quite repeatedly to make sure I can boot from it
    - Wipe the drive and create a partition for Win and one for Arch
    - Use TrueCrypt (or some other cross-platform encryption system) for Win 7
    - Restore Win 7 from my bootable clone back onto the encrypted partition on the laptop HD
    - Install Arch with LUKS/dm-crypt
    - Be extremely happy and celebrate.
    Does anyone know if the first steps in particular are feasible? I have used Carbon Copy Cloner on my Mac and it can make a bootable clone while the system is running. It's actually quite awesome because you have an incremental backup solution that youc an also boot from in a pinch in case you need to do something to your HD that can't be done when it's mounted. Much faster than booting from the OS X install disk.
    I've been looking for an equivalent on Win and not happy so far. Macrium sounded promising, but when running it, it seems to want to backup to some kind of image file, not simply do a file copy of everything on the drive. Perhaps this will work... I'm just not sure. I also looked at DriveImageXML, but am not sure about that either. I'm using the built-in Win backup tool right now and will see if that works.
    Does anyone know of a tool that will do this? CloneZilla or any Linux tool will not work because a literal clone (like dd) made while the computer is off is worthless. I need a decrypted backup.
    Lastly, any other general input? Does this seem feasible?
    Thanks!

    Wow! I can't believe this is working. The rough gist of it is that I think I've found a method that won't require virtualization or fiddling with SafeBoot or having to jump through hoops to either clone while running (to have a decrypted clone), or try to do something like THIS (this is terrifying, since it involves making a clone with dd while it's encrypted and then restoring the SafeBoot encrypted mbr somewhere else later). The gist is like so:
    - Use Win7 built in partition editor to shrink it down as far as possible. For me, this was down to about 130G (out of ~230G)
    - Use same tool to creat two additional partitions: one for Arch and one for TrueCrypt
    - Used Partition Wizard Home Edition to change the type to 0x83 (very necessary)
    - Reboot, install Arch to /dev/sda2
    - Install grub to /dev/sda2, not to the MBR!
    - Reboot into Windows and used EasyBCD to add an archLinux entry to the Win7 boot options
    - Rebooted and tried it out!
    - I'm logged into Arch right now!
    This is actually quite incredible. I think this is about the best I could have asked for. I get to avoid any issues with replacing SafeBoot with something else (even though I'm not sure my IT group really cares [1]), I get a dedicated Linux install, which runs much better and cleaner than virtualizing, and I can share all my stuff via the TrueCrypt partition [2].
    I'll keep everyone posted and will probably end up adding this to the wiki. I think this is a win-win situation. [3]
    Footnotes:
    [1] For example, users are permitted to use their personal Macs at work... but they're not encrypted. People just bring them in and use them. They're obviously not protected, so why would IT care if my computer is encrypted with TrueCrypt vs. SafeBoot when they let people run around with no encryption? Not to mention, as said above, I've talked about my doings with an IT higher-up and he's never said anything of caution about not having encryption -- just suggested I routinely run ClamAV. I did get some strong words of caution on SuperUser. I guess everyone can be happy this way.
    [2] I have yet to set this up, but think it will be far easier than what I just went through!
    [3] The only thing I'm bummed about is that Win7 couldn't be resized any smaller because of unmovable safeboot related files during defrag. It's only using 30G of space right now, but wouldn't shrink below 129G. It doesn't really matter -- I have 30G for Linux and about 80G for my storage. My storage isn't more than 11G for all my work documents right now, so I don't really anticipate blowing through another 70G anytime soon.

  • Crazy Guild Wars/WINE/Graphics Problem

    Recently I've gotten back into Guild Wars (and subsequently dropped off the forums like a stone), but I have a very bizarre issue with it. Every so often, and I have no idea why because error reports haven't turned up anything, I get a graphics failure, the monitor turns off as if it isn't receiving a signal or one of the sync rates is too high, and a fan in my computer, presumably on the graphics card, becomes audibly louder and faster. This only happens with Guild Wars on WINE, nothing else will cause it to occur. Also, it doesn't happen at precise intervals or after a certain number of hours, it seems to be completely random. I've had it happen on load, 5 minutes in, a few hours in, and on a day off where I was just being lazy, I had ten straight hours of gameplay and no problems whatsoever. I've gone over all of my logs, and absolutely nothing is turning up to clue me into the problem.
    My computer is quite new, I purchased it this April. It has an Nvidia 9600GT graphics card, the drivers for which have been out of beta for a while now and have acted quite well with everything else, including Quake 4, ET:QW, Prey on WINE, and Mount&Blade on WINE. Previously I was using the Nvidia installer to handle the driver, but both it and the Arch package have the same problem, in case there was any doubt there.
    Any help is very much appreciated, and while the problem may not best be suited to these forums, even getting the slightest hint as to what could be going on would be great help, as I'm completely in the dark on this one.

    Launching the game with WINEDEBUG=+all wine Gw.exe causes so much debugging information to pass that it slows the entire process to a crawl. It took two full minutes to even display the GW "connecting to ArenaNet" window to appear, much less connect and complete, something which usually takes 1-3 seconds max. It would be impossible to test the game itself properly, if at all, with that option set.
    I can also confirm now that using the xorg.conf fix won't solve the problem, as 10 minutes in I had another blackout. That fix seems to be for a much older 5200 card on a CRT though, the solution for which is not going to mesh as well with a 9600 running a 22" LCD.
    It could also be an issue with the monitor now that I think of it, which is an LG 226WTY @1680x1050, but I have my doubts that it lies at the bottom of all this, as I've heard MPD stop playing when I've had it on and this problem has occured, so I think it has something to do with the system itself, be it kernel or internal hardware, more than the monitor.
    Thanks for the ideas though, too bad they didn't solve the issue.
    P.S. The more I think about it this might very well be a kernel+WINE issue, as I'm also unable to ctrl+alt+backspace out of X to the command line when the blackout occurs, which could mean the keyboard is being disabled by a kernel panic of some kind, thus causing the problem with the graphics card. Nothing has appeared in the logs though, which is odd.
