I'm sure everyone is tired of my problems, and would rather spend July 4th weekend doing something else. I don't blame you. So would I. It's also my younger son's birthday and he'll be 34 years old. So, I'll just offer an update to all and if anyone wants to; they can jump in and tell me I'm nuts, screwed, and annoying. I won't be offended. I have narrowed things down, somewhat. I run the rm -rvf ~/.wine from terminal, and then run winecfg. There is an error message that scrolls down the screen and then aborts.. before it does, I try to read all of the content. I can't finish reading because the machine logs me off Ubuntu and goes to my logon screen for username and password. When I come back, I am able to run winecfg, with no problem; BUT the drives are not listed in the drive tab and the error complains of mount manager failure, in Terminal output. I have done some research into this and found very little that is helpful or akin to my issue. I'm sure of one thing, Wine has difficulties doing any cfg after it is removed. Even if I go to Synaptic PKg mgr and completely remove it and any other wine related packages including wine-doors, and wine-gecko: and then go through the re-install of all of them. Still the same problems. I have done something or something has changed, during the course. I recall being able to see the drives listed on the drives tab... BTW.. Wine-gecko shows up in several of the error messages that scroll before I am logged off. I have no time to catch all that is listed. Which brings me to a question: Is there a switch I can add to the 'winecfg' command that outputs the error message to a text file or log, and saves it so I can view it when i re-logon?.. i.e. winecfg -logfile log.txt or something? If so, I will be able to post the error message in it's entirety to this forum for analysis. Anyone want to help this old man stubbornly continue with this issue? Happy 4th of July to all.
