Hi all, I created as little script to run wine and automatically log the output and some basic information to a file. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.mohag.net/wine_with_log How to use: 1. Download (or create) it somewhere and set it executable. wget http://www.mohag.net/wine_with_log chmod +x wine_with_log 2. Run application with wine_with_log rather than wine 3. Logs can be found in the wine-logs subdirectory (Filenames: <command>.<date>.<wine version>.log) It attempts to run wine-git from ~/wine-git/wine first, followed by wine from /usr/local, then wine from /usr and finally the default wine (no path specified). It adds some general information about the environment that it is used in at the top of the log. Please check this information before uploading / publishing the log publicly to ensure that it contains no private information. Please let me know of any bugs. Other improvements are welcome. TODO: 1. Distro detection with lsb_release if available. 2. Ability to dump more info about Wine configurion within the WINEPREFIX, e.g. Windows version, etc. 3. <Your suggestion here> Gert Example log: ---------------------------------------------------------- Wine version: wine-1.1.24-141-g4156b6a WINEPREFIX: '/home/mohag/.wine' WINEPREFIX state: 'Clean' Working directory: '/home/mohag/Downloads' Date: Wed Jun 24 21:28:05 SAST 2009 OS info (uname -a): 'Linux mohagpc 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux' Command: '/home/mohag/wine-git/wine winecfg' ---------------------------------------------------------- wine: created the configuration directory '/home/mohag/.wine' fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on USB Device 0x46d:0x89d, disabling mixer fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
