I still don't get why your example fails. Does this also happen in a fresh wineprefix?
Additionally for the "fails silently" issue: windows that popup in case of an error should only be shown if wine was not started from a terminal. There error output is expected in the terminal itself. What might be a solution is to invent a new option "--gui". This could be added to the Exec line in the .desktop file, and would tell Wine to popup windows in case of an "usual" error. Note that crashes of Wine already result in opening a window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658884 Title: Wine fails *silently* if running programs from nautilus fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/1658884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
