[Solved] GNOME compatibility mode in xfce 4.8?

Hi,

I'm trying to get Wine working on a Xubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit system with xfce 4.8.  Trying to run winecfg.exe (wine configuration) in the terminal gives the following error, followed by the process sitting there endlessly eating up about 25% of the cpu load:

xxx@xxx:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32$ wine winecfg.exe
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

So after a little looking around I found comments #27 and 28 on the following webpage, which basicly says that GNOME compatibility mode needs to be enabled manually in order to work around the problem.  Problem is, I don't know how to do this.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/932177/

By the way, I did try editing the Certificate and Key Storage file in etc/xdg/autostart, adding XFCE to OnlyShowIn, but it didn't change anything.

Re: [Solved] GNOME compatibility mode in xfce 4.8?

The only place in Xfce to set "gnome compatibility" is Settings Manager >> Session and Startup >> Advanced tab >> "Launch Gnome Services on Startup". As I understand it, this will start the gnome keyring (if its installed).

That being said, I don't have this flag enabled and am able to run wine with no problems on my 64-bit system.

I notice that you are trying to run "wine winecfg.exe". Normally, you would just need to run:

winecfg

...to start up the wine configuration program (though on my system, both work). Which makes me wonder if there is something amiss with your default wine prefix.

Maybe try it with a new prefix:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new winecfg

...and if that works, try also with your method:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new wine winecfg.exe

If you are still having problems, you might want to force 32-bit wine by running (on yet another new profile):

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new2 winecfg

Yes, it should work with both "wine winecfg.exe" and just "winecfg".  Tried it with the new prefix, and got this...

xxx@xxx:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/xxx/.wine_new'
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

...followed by the Wine Configuration window!  So then I tried it the other way and got the winecfg window again, with another error.

xxx@xxx:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new wine winecfg.exe
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Next I ran the 32 bit one and got the same thing as when the other new wine prefix was created above (same errors and a winecfg window).

xxx@xxx:~$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new2 winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/xxx/.wine_new2'
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

wine: configuration in '/home/xxx/.wine_new2' has been updated.
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Then I enabled "Launch Gnome Services on Startup" to see if it would change anything. It didn't, got the winecfg window again with the same error.

xxx@xxx:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new winecfg
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-mn6zqs/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Something important to know is that I did accidentally install two versions of wine on the computer.  So it makes perfect sense if it is a wine problem.

In that case, uninstall both versions of Wine and then install one of them.

Re: [Solved] GNOME compatibility mode in xfce 4.8?

Wine still has problems now that only one version is installed, but that has nothing to do with XFCE.  I'm going to label this as solved since the original question was answered.
