Hero lab freezes after install on WINE
I've got hero lab installed on ubuntu linux under wine. Install went fine (or so it seemed) but when I start the program I get to the screen that says "Building User Interface ..." and then it just stops.
not sure what to do to even troubleshoot that. here's my command line output for anyone that can make heads or tails of it: ******* anivair@anivair-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/HeroLab$ wine "/home/anivair/.wine/drive_c/HeroLab/HeroLab.exe" preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) ******* And then it just carries on like that till I stop it. I have one suggestion from the wine pages that suggests I edit xorg.conf. I'm going to try that and if it works, I'll post it here so we have it for others. |
that didn't fix it. Still looking into patches.

Still nothing. I've just opted to use VMware instead to make it work. I'll keep working on wine solutions. I suspect it has to do with fiddling with winecfg, but I can't find it.

I don't have any experience with WINE, so I'm afraid I can't help :( Does anyone else run Hero Lab under it that could lend their experiences? -- Colen McAlister, colen@wolflair.com Chief Engineer, Lone Wolf Development |
I have the same issue.
(It was me who posted yesterday as chatladin on M&M HQ) |
Hero Lab *does* make use of memory-mapped files within Windows. While a proper implementation of WINE should fundamentally support memory-mapped files, it's the only thing that HL does that isn't very vanilla - aside from our licensing mechanism. You might try writing a very simple Windows program that leverages memory-mapped files and test it out under WINE. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else HL could be doing that would get WINE fundamentally confused.

I could if I knew how to write such a program ^^;
|
I'm having the exact same problem. Is there a list of what .dlls are used? Often replacing a WINE dll with one from a Windows install takes care of quirks like this.
|
I have run into the same problem with the demo version. Interestingly, Savage Worlds, Cortex, and the authoring kit have no problems getting past that point, but even they freeze eventually.

Also just noticed that when it hangs, the HeroLab process is sitting there holding one core of my CPU at 100% load.
