[SOLVED] Wine: Unhandled exception; from Konsole(KDE/Plasma)

[Atha]

Hi!

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this strange behaviour of Wine?

What I do is the following: I have a ~/.wine directory where I use WINEPREFIX to make the subdirectories unique for every game (or program) I install. So, for example, I installed System Shock 2 (GOG version) in the Konsole (from KDE/Plasma Desktop, i.e. /usr/bin/konsole, =kde-apps/konsole-17.12.3). This is the command:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="~/.wine/System Shock 2" winecfg

With this command all the necessary files are created. I then put the GOG installer into drive_c (~/.wine/System Shock 2/drive_c/INST/setup.exe, setup.exe being a symlink to setup_system_shock2_2.3.0.11.exe). Then I run the installer, also prefixed:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/System\ Shock\ 2 "C:\\INST\\setup.exe"

So far so good, as the installer has some issues at the end:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/System\ Shock\ 2 wine "C:\\INST\\setup.exe"

These are the 4 windows I get towards the end of the installation (the window title is always "Setup <2>"):

Despite those error messages the installation seems to be successful.

So now this is the strange thing:

• When I start System Shock 2 from the menu (KDE/Plasma), it starts, runs, works...
• When I start System Shock 2 from the Terminal (Konsole), it fails with a an "Unhandled exception"...

This is the console log when it fails, copied from Konsole:

System information:
    Platform: i386
    Version: Windows XP

I get the exact same result when using this command (1:1 from the .desktop entry), only that the traceback is appended to the console output.

Code: Select all

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/<USERNAME>/.wine/System Shock 2" /usr/bin/wine "/home/<USERNAME>/.wine/System Shock 2/drive_c/GOG Games/System Shock 2/Shock2.exe"

But the same installation works when started with this freedesktop application entry (~/.local/share/applications/System Shock 2.desktop):

Code: Select all

<USERNAME> is the real username, e.g. "gaming" in my case, since $HOME and ~ doesn't work in a .desktop file.
Sidenote: the only modifcation is that I put shock2.png into the installation directory for the icon.

BTW, the automaticly created wine desktop entry ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/GOG.com/System Shock 2/System Shock 2.desktop has the same contents and works likewise.

So the BIG question is:
Why is starting WINE from the Konsole any different than starting it via the freedesktop application entry from the KDE menu?
And, have any of you also experienced this strange behaviour?
Could it be a WINE issue or rather a Konsole issue? What can I try to find out?

One more information: I have similar issues with other GOG.com and Humble Bundle games for Windows, but not all of them crash. Sim City 3000 for example works when started from the Konsole (WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/Sim\ City\ 3000).

Thanks in advance, Atha

The faulting instruction appears to be in the game, so this is a game bug. Most likely, Wine raises some error that Windows does not, and the game developers wrongly assumed nothing could possibly go wrong here, so they do not handle the error gracefully. Bug the developers not to dereference null pointers.

As for why, the two paths likely differ in some key environmental factor. Do both paths launch with all the same groups? Are the environment variables the same?

You refer to the errors when installing the game? This is the GOG installer for Windows, not the actual game that causes the error messages.

Or do you refer to the page fault when the game is run? It must be something else because the game works perfectly when I run it from the desktop (not from the Konsole on the same desktop).

I guess that's what makes the difference. I never noticed any other programs with such strange behaviour. For example, in the Konsole I regularly use the Midnight Commander (I actually prefer it over all graphical file managers, even Dolphin). Midnight Commander is configured to launch my preferred X application for each file type, e.g. on an image (like .jpg) it will launch Gwenview. Hitting enter on a video file (like .mkv) launches VLC.

It may well be that those instances are executed in a different environment, but they work like they would if I ran them directly from the desktop. Except for Wine that is...

Is there a way to dump the environment into a file to see what the difference really is?

I ran "env > /tmp/env.txt" on the deskop (in KDE you can run a command directly from a command line reached by the default keybindings Alt+F2) and from the Konsole, then used diff on them. This is what I get:

Since this was not very conclusive, I also ran the System Shock 2 command from the desktop command line (Alt+F2) and I got the same crash: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x004ad30b).

So I changed the "System Shock 2.desktop" file in ~/.local/share/applications, line Exec= to "Exec=env > /tmp/env-wine.txt" and compared it again:

As you can see there isn't much difference to it compared to run from the desktop commandline:

Code: Select all

$ diff env-wine.txt env-direct.txt
31c31
< PWD=/home/gaming/.wine/System Shock 2/drive_c/GOG Games/System Shock 2

> PWD=/home/gaming

So this cannot be it. Right?

Eureka!

You won't believe this!

It now runs from the Konsole and the KDE Plasma command line (Alt+F2) as well! The only difference I made was to cd into the game directory beforehand and—voilà—it runs! (I noticed that the $PWD was different when using the .desktop entry…)

So, this command works:

Code: Select all

cd "$HOME/.wine/System Shock 2/drive_c/GOG Games/System Shock 2" && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine/System Shock 2" /usr/bin/wine "$HOME/.wine/System Shock 2/drive_c/GOG Games/System Shock 2/Shock2.exe"

Such a simple solution, when the error message "Unexpected exception: page fault on read…" was so dramatic

Any idea why Wine needs you to be in the right directory? I've never heard of this before…

Or do you refer to the page fault when the game is run? It must be something else because the game works perfectly when I run it from the desktop (not from the Konsole on the same desktop).

I refer to the game crashing with a null pointer dereference.

You won't believe this!

Actually, this solution is surprisingly common in failed Windows programs.

Wine does not need you to be in the right directory. This is not a Wine problem. This is a bug in the game. Most likely, they use a relative path to open some critical supporting file. If the game is started with the current working directory set to the game's install directory, the relative path successfully opens the required file. If the current working directory is anywhere else, the relative open fails. If the open fails, the game crashes. The game should handle the failed open and, at minimum, show a dialog complaining that you invoked it wrong. Ideally, it should locate and open the data file regardless of the current working directory at launch.

I'm a little late to the party here but, yeah, it is indeed a somewhat common issue, that an application doesn't quite work via Wine if the working directory is something else than where the executable lives.

I've oft wondered if it's somehow possible to re-produce in a native Windows environment, since it's going unnoticed there, or at least I've never bumped into discussion about it.

I forget a little, but did Windows just always set the working directory to where the executable lies, when executed?

Having written some C sharp recently I should probably remember something about this...

[Atha]

Yes, I noticed that this is a very common error message when Windows applications crash. Using the Internet search engine of your choice reveals lots of hits for "Wine Unexpected exception page fault"… (that was my favorite search engine...)

I tried WINEDEBUG=+relay as mentioned in the Wine Developer's Guide, but the output is not very easy to understand and to me there is no indiciation to what the problem could be.

Some other games still have issues, like Gothic 2 (crashes when I try to save a game) and Syberia (crashes after the intro)... First I thought it might be the same problem for all the applications, but now I see that there are other issues as well...

Anyway, thanks for the responses.

Windows (the kernel) does not automatically set the working directory. However, rather than using filesystem symbolic links, the Windows standard for making a file appear in multiple places is a Windows Explorer "shortcut" (.lnk) file. Among other capabilities, shortcuts can specify the working directory for the target program. It is traditional that the Start Menu shortcut (back when the Start Menu existed, anyway) specify the working directory to be something useful. As a result, anyone who uses the shortcut to launch the program gets a good environment. Similarly, if you were to navigate to the install directory and launch it by double clicking, Windows Explorer would launch it with the working directory set to the directory you viewed - the install directory. So the only easy way to launch it on Windows with an unusual working directory is from the command line. Windows users are not known for their use of the command line.

Yes, I noticed that this is a very common error message when Windows applications crash.

Again, not what I meant. I referred specifically to how Windows programs tend to assume that the working directory is set to a particular value, and misbehave when that assumption is violated. Crashing is a particularly extreme form of misbehavior, but it's not the only one seen.

There definitely will be lots of hits for that, as it's not unique to this 'path issue', but it would definitely be neat to have a way for Wine to detect it is being an issue.

I tried WINEDEBUG=+relay as mentioned in the Wine Developer's Guide, but the output is not very easy to understand and to me there is no indiciation to what the problem could be.

Right, 'relay' is one of, if not /the/ most verbose debug output one can get from Wine, and it's probably usually useless unless one has an idea of what to look for in it.

I might start with the 'file' channel, though I never tried to debug this issue yet personally, and I can't tell if it would be of any real use either.

Some other games still have issues, like Gothic 2 (crashes when I try to save a game) and Syberia (crashes after the intro)... First I thought it might be the same problem for all the applications, but now I see that there are other issues as well...

With regards to Syberia, have you seen and tried what's being suggested in Wine bug 44009?

Gothic II seems like it requires some workarounds too: WineHQ AppDB - Gothic II

Thanks!

That's more or less what I was thinking, but felt there might have been something else involved, too.

Thanks! That was the problem, works now!

None of the listed problems seem to be related. Might be a rights problem, since it only crashes when I want to save a game... I will try if reinstalling Gothic II fixes it.


Anyway, thanks for your valuable information! I know I would have found something on the Internet eventually, but you definitely saved me a lot of time and trouble. Thanks!
