 |
|
I apologize if the question has been posed before, but I did not find any similar posts by browsing or searching through the forums. Here it goes:
I have been using Gentoo Linux for a year now, and never have I had a problem I couldn't solve. However, not long ago I bought a 1 TB hard disk which I divided into 7 partitions: /boot, (swap), /, /var, /tmp, /usr and /home (yes, that's FreeBSD influence right there). When I finished compilation of Wine, I found I could no longer install DirectX. Age of Empires III, Black & White II and Unreal Tournament III wouldn't install either - it wouldn't budge. These are the errors DXSetup produces:

(the console only displays a 'status 43' message, I don't even know what the hell that means)
I figure it has to have something to do with permissions, as somehow the program can't write to my /home partition. I fiddled around with /etc/fstab and octal permissions all day, to no avail. This is my current configuration:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 /var ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda6 /tmp ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda7 /usr ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda8 /home ext4 noatime,users,rw,exec 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
As you can see, my /home partition and all its subdirectories have full drwxrwxrwx (777) permission. Also, my /home/${user} folder is owned by {user}:{user}.
Wine detects all partitions and drives perfectly:

My Wine version is 1.1.20 (the problem persists after downgrading to stable), my O/S is Gentoo 64-bit (on kernel 2.6.28-r5), I have compiled all emul-linux-x86 libraries, all partitions except for /boot are ext4.
Can anyone help me out? I'm going bald from stress here. Thanks in advance,
Itzamna
P.S.: I have done all the standard fix attempts, like deleting my ~/.wine folder, reemerging wine, installing a different wine version, ..., so please help me dream up an elegant solution. |

i think that the problem is a corrupted file (in the 2º snapshot), not the wine install
