Now I tried the same with two differend wine builds from wineHQ sources. Wine 4.21: same behaviour as with debian buster stock wine: corrupt font list
wine 1.8.7 --without-freetype The windows in the setup procedure (both winecfg and notes setup) are collapsed to bare lines ~ 10 px high 1px with (winecfg) resp. 1 px high and width of decoration (notes setup) So, looks like we have obviously invisible fonts. Whole X gui renders irresponsive, but I can switch to virtual consoles This does not change, even when I kill all wine and notes processes on a virtual console. There were font related messages on the terminal. I captured them, but the file was gone due to the freeze. Tried reproduing with buster 4.0 wine: -------------8<---------------------------------------- ~$ ./test_notes_wine wine: created the configuration directory '/home/wrosner/.wine32lotus_test_busty2' 0012:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {00000131-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 0012:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {6d5140c1-7436-11ce-8034-00aa006009fa} 0012:err:ole:StdMarshalImpl_MarshalInterface Failed to create ifstub, hres=0x80004002 0012:err:ole:CoMarshalInterface Failed to marshal the interface {6d5140c1-7436-11ce-8034-00aa006009fa}, 80004002 0012:err:ole:get_local_server_stream Failed: 80004002 0014:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {00000131-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 0014:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {6d5140c1-7436-11ce-8034-00aa006009fa} 0014:err:ole:StdMarshalImpl_MarshalInterface Failed to create ifstub, hres=0x80004002 0014:err:ole:CoMarshalInterface Failed to marshal the interface {6d5140c1-7436-11ce-8034-00aa006009fa}, 80004002 0014:err:ole:get_local_server_stream Failed: 80004002 0019:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0019:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0019:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0019:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot wine: configuration in '/home/wrosner/.wine32lotus_test_busty2' has been updated. 0039:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0039:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0039:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot 0039:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot -------------8<---------------------------------------- does this ring any bell?
