Sailwave and Wine

Hello,

I’m a happy sailwave user for a couple of years now running sailwave under Ubuntu with wine. Untortunately under Ubuntu 18.04 lts and wine sailwave is crashing when starting.

It says “Unhandled exception: divide by zero in 32-bit code (0x45aea01a).”

Same behaviour also under MacOS using wine bottler. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Thomas

Hi Thomas, I’m sure Huw will help you with this as he has tested most versions with Wine and found no problems that I’m aware of. There are also other users using it with Wine Bottler.

It would help to know from when it stopped working and what versions of Sailwave, Wine and Winebottler you are using. Under Windows the only known cause of a crash at startup is Teamviewer being installed (And this is Teamviewers fault.)

Regards

Jon

Hi Jon,

sailwave will stop initially at startup (right after showing the splash logo). Right now I tried the latest version of sailwave 2.25.10, WineBottler 1.8.6 under MacOs 10.13.6 (fresh install).

I remember last running sailwave install was under Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (no clue which wine version was running).

I hope it helps

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Interesting if you are seeing a Splash logo. The splash logo is only displayed if it is doing a foreign language translation. Sailwave in English mode starts so quickly that it doesn’t display a splash screen. If it is being translated it displays the splash screen for a couple of seconds while it loads the translation files. Are you running with translation active or in English? I did message Huw earlier and he was going to check it out on his copy.

Regards

Jon

Hi Thomas,

  Sorry to hear you are having problems having 'upgraded' to Ubuntu

18.04.

  I have a short while ago created a VirtualBox VM of Ubuntu 18.04

and one of Linux Mint and installed WINE on both, which is v3.0.2.
I then downloaded Sailwave 2-25-10 and installed from the command
line, for some reason [maybe I had not restarted system] but I was
not able to install by right click and select WINE installer.

  The install of Sailwave was successful on both Ubuntu 18.04 &

Linux Mint 19. I then tried opening Sailwave on both and again had
no problems. I then double-clicked one of the files in the
Examples folder of Sailwave Data, scored a the series and
published all without any problems.

  FYI - I am also successfully running Sailwave on the following

Linux distributions as well as Windows 10:

  •     openSUSE Tumbelweed rolling distribution fully patched [WINE
    

    v3.14] on real hardware

  • Linux Mint 18.3 fully patched [WINE v1.6.2] on real hardware

  • Ubuntu 16.04 fully patched [WINE v1.6.2] VirtualBox VM

  • Raspbian fully patched VirtualBox VM [WINE v1.6.2]
    With regards to WineBottler, if I remember correctly, it is
    numbered the same as the version of WINE, so the current stable
    version of Winebottler is v1.8.6. So that will be using WINE
    v1.8.6. Which is a long way behind the current release I am using
    on my openSUSE system [WINE v3.14], but the openSUSE is a rolling
    release and just off bleeding edge!

    If you are able to grab a screen shot of what you see when
    

starting Sailwave and post, it might be helpful in trying to
determine what is happening with your environment.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hallo Huw,

see attached a screenshot from sailwave under macOS including a stacktrace and a second one from Ubuntu 18.04. Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Hi Thomas,

This is something to do with running it on a German Language.

This works fine on Windows. The installer checks the language of the PC and installs the German translation files and switches Sailwave to use German translation.

If you set you Wine to English before installing Sailwave that would be a solution.

Or you could try editing the registry and clearing the registry key - Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sailwave\Options Locale to empty

Then Sailwave should try to start in English

Let me know how it goes

Jon

Hi Jon,

I completely removed the wine installation directory, set language to english (export LAN=en_EN) and reinstalled sailwave -> everything working as expected!

Thank you very much for your effort!

Kind regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

  It has not appeared yet but I have approved your latest message

about having removed WINE and then re-installed with English as
the language. Everything now works.

  FYI - the Sailwave installer can detect if it is being run on a

PC configured for Italian or German, if it detects either of these
two languages then Sailwave installs the Italian or German
language translations automatically. It could be other languages
as well but currently only Italian and German translations have
been done.

  It is not something that had been thought of, but should have

been by me, that Sailwave user may try and install on a
non-English version of Linux/MacOS. Something for me to take a
look at.

  Pleased to hear that you have Sailwave working albeit in English

not German.

  Thank you for your patience whilst we tried to discover the

reason why you were having difficulty.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi Huw,

thank you for the information. I’m just happy being able to use sailwave again, it is a great piece of software.

Btw. both ways work: setting languange via environment or editing the registry entry. Tested under Ubuntu running wine 3.0.x and mac running WineBottler.

Kind regards,

Thomas
