--- Comment #15 from [email protected] 2012-06-06 05:43:05 PDT --- Tanu Kaskinen "Ok, so is the model that the first "wine" command invocation with a given prefix will start also wineserver, and the wineserver process will be running as long as there are wine processes using that prefix?" Yes this is close to correct for the current model. Wineserver stays running after the last application stops in a prefix for a while. Some things are stored in this like current font lists and other time consuming thing to set up. Note I say current. Future model of wine does include the possibility of global wineservers existing. Reason wine prefixes with applications shared between users. When this happens the problem will become many times worse. No more option for a single user to be sure to shut everything down to enter pasuspender. This is why upstream does not particularly like the idea of "Wineserver could still use the environment variable". First, close all wine applications ("killall wine"). This in wine is wineserver -k. Yes this shows how much in control wineserver is you tell it to die and every other wine application dies. "WINE_AUDIO=alsa{device=sysdefault} pasuspender -- wine program.exe" This is also not going to work. wine program.exe;wineserver -k would have to be used. Otherwise wineserver would still be alive after pasuspender so land mined. Remembering the environmental var it was told. This is the problem with wine it really does not like you trying todo temporary changes from environmental var or command line. Really hates change. wineserver -k itself is not exactly nice on windows applications either. ALSA_CONFIG_PATH really I would prefer to avoid touching this if we can. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA Contact for the bug.
