Same here. It is probably due to change in kernel (I'm running 2.6.25-1.fc9.x86_64). The workaround found in Ubuntu bugzilla[1] helped me. It is also noted on the Wine Wiki[2]. The workaround is simply: echo 'vm.mmap_min_addr = 0' >> /etc/sysctl.conf; sysctl -p Unfortunately, it slightly reduces security - the original value (65536) is said to prevent some future bugs, but on the other hand, it makes wine unusable. It is not fixed upstream and it's possible, that it won't be. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/114025 [2] http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 446788 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 305821 [details]
Capture of kernel crash
Here is a crash dump I captured over the serial console on my box. It is 100%
reproducible here. Box is a rather clean F9 install with Wine installed.
The strange thing is that my notebook, with the same software installed, had no problem with it. But on my desktop (where the dump comes from), even setting vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 does not help. Can the severity of this issue been risen? It is a reproducible system lock-up when doing non-privileged user stuff like starting Wine's notepad clone. *** Bug 443904 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 447495 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 308645 [details]
kernel crash caused by wine
Kernel crash dump and lockup after running wine (without the workaround).
Fedora 8, 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 i686
This is clearly a *severe* kernel bug because any user can crash the whole system instantenously. Was it reported upstream to LKML? (In reply to comment #9) > This is clearly a *severe* kernel bug because any user can crash the whole > system instantenously. Was it reported upstream to LKML? There is a corresponding Bug for the kernel in RH bugzilla: #443552 . *** Bug 433641 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The associated kernel bug #443552 is FIXED now and the problem doesn't happen anymore. Most likely this bug can be set to FIXED as well. |
