Playonlinux Fonts

[jnack95]

I use playonlinux to play diablo 3. Something in the latest update completely borked my playonlinux and now battle net will start with only the progress bar and no test or graphics then it gets stuck. When I try to install battle.net (after deleting my previous install) the debug out put is:

Code: Select all

fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0x456ea08 (nil)): stub
Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x721cec "?" wait timed out in thread 0042, blocked by 0030, retrying (60 sec)

IT then gets stuck. Any ideas? I've tried many things and have not had much luck. It's something realted to freetype. I tried downgrading it and that didn't work either.

I would suspect this is a multilib issue, and that freetype (or some dependent package) is installed without use_expand ABI_X86="32 64", or there is some other subtle breakage where multilib is concerned. Perhaps the following will provide some clue as to what:

Code: Select all

# EIX_LIMIT=0 eix '-I#' --installed-with-use abi_x86_32
# EIX_LIMIT=0 eix '-I#' --installed-without-use abi_x86_32

You might also look and see what packages might be re-merged on a --changed-use:

Code: Select all

# USE="abi_x86_32" emerge -pvuD --with-bdeps=y --quiet=y --changed-use @world

Thanks khay. It's definitely a multilib issue because I don't get the same errors with 64bit wine prefixes. I did

USE="abi_x86_32" emerge -pvuD --with-bdeps=y --quiet=y --changed-use @world

and the output was :

I am currently dealing with multilib with this line in my make.conf. Is this no longer the correct way to do it? Thanks for your help

Code: Select all

ABI_X86="64 32"

[khayyam]

jnack95 ...

I don't see anything in that list triggered by a '--changed-use', they seem to all be bdeps. So, nothing there that suggests freetype is missing some 32bit component. You might want to update those packages anyway, but I don't think it will resolve the issue.

ABI_X86="64 32" is correct. I don't use multilib so I don't know what else to suggest, you might want to post the output of 'emerge -pvq app-emulation/wine'.

[jnack95]

Yea, I don't know what is going on. I thought it had something to do wit multilib, but now I think it is probably something with wine, playonlinux, or the versions of wine I'm trying to use. I hope it just gets fixed in a future update. It might have something to do with libvirt too. At any rate, playonlinux now just gets stuck creating a virtual drive or configuring wine so I am at loss to figure it out. It's always been picky about which wine version to use but I've never has this much trouble.

I see both fontconfig and truetype useflags enabled, so I don't think there is anything missing from wine. You might try looking at 'strace -oout wine <app>' and see if whatever happens before the above error gives some further clue.

Here is what happens when I try to install Hearthstone in Playonlinux. I'm clueless.....maybe it's looking for sudo?

[jnack95]

Well, I installed battle.net on a 32 bit wine prefix without playonlinux and the game plays fine so not sure what is going on with playonlinux. I would mark this solved ...but it's not really.

[Hyper_Eye]

I'm having this issue after updating as well. I did not change anything about my freetype configuration or any configuration for that matter. PlayOnLinux was working fine before. The problem occurs when I try to open winecfg or regedit for a game among other things. For me it is happening for 32-bit and 64-bit prefixes. This does not happen with the system installed wine.

Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

[Hyper_Eye]

I am able to work around this issue by setting the wine version for the prefix I am configuring to 'system'. I can then run winecfg and regedit, make my changes, and then change the wine version to the one I want to use for that prefix. It appears this problem is limited to the wine builds PlayOnLinux downloads.

[gRuFtY]

It seems to be a problem with playonlinux, not wine. I just downgraded playonlinux to version 4.2.4-r1, which fixed this. I did not try other versions than 4.2.10-r1 and 4.2.4-r1 yet, although there are two more in the portage tree.
[EDIT:] Okay, that didn't fix all of the problems for me. However, starting wine from the commandline, setting the wineprefix playonlinux uses and using the wine version downloaded by playonlinux works. So it seems playonlinux currently messes with the environment or something?

[adcdam]

Hi i downgraded to playonlinux 4.2.8 and have the same problems can not launch some games, perhaps something to do with python? a new symlink to freetype, some games work and some that required fonts doesnt.
i cant believe no one can solve this...

[Wicla]

Just wanted to add that I'm also seeing this issue and have been for quite a while. It started occurring when freetype was updated to 2.7.1 I think. But it doesn't help to downgrade it back to 2.7.0 so I guess it's in combination with something else.

[adcdam]

Perhaps its a problem Gentoo/Funtoo related? i dont have this problem in Arch linux i have a triple boot, and the problem is only here.
i can t believe no one can solve this

[yollfeet]

I use antergos which is basically arch, and i have exactly the same problem. Just wanted to share this here.

[undef]

i also have this bug since several months with a funtoo desktop client.
additional to that, i got a new laptop some days ago and installed a fresh funtoo on it and also got the same behavior as on my desktop client.

i can also temporary workaround this issue by setting the wineprefix, but this makes playonlinux a little bit useless,
and it's annoying if you got many different tools/games which need different wineprefixes.

versions tested:

Code: Select all

media-libs/freetype-2.6.3-r1
media-libs/freetype-2.6.5
media-libs/freetype-2.7.1-r1

app-emulation/playonlinux-4.2.4-r1
app-emulation/playonlinux-4.2.6-r1
app-emulation/playonlinux-4.2.8-r1
app-emulation/playonlinux-4.2.10-r1

are we really just this few people, which are affected by this?

[Hyper_Eye]

The problem appears to be caused by a zlib incompatibility. You can resolve it by removing the version of zlib included with the wine packages POL downloads. Run the following command as your desktop user. I recommend you copy and paste it as you can blow some things away unintentionally if you mess it up.

Code: Select all

rm -f ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux*/*/lib*/libz*

That should remove it from all of the currently installed engines. When you install new ones you will have to delete them again.

[moosh]

Thanks. This solved the problem for me.

[mwojc]

yes that's working
