Q4Wine Launch Error

[PadreAdamo]

I just installed and reinstalled Q4Wine multiple times to try and fix the error I'm receiving. Launching Q4wine for an escalated terminal works fine. However, launching Q4wine via shortcut or vanilla terminal, I get the following error:

"Cannot find or execute the 'fusermount' binary. Make sure that this binary is available by search PATH variable and see also INSTALL file for application depends."

Distro: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

whereis fusermount
/usr/bin

I just installed and reinstalled Q4Wine multiple times

These actions are meaningless.

Cannot find or execture the 'fusermount' binary.

Your problem is in program settings which you may fix in settings dialog or in text file ~/.config/q4wine/default.conf. Or you may delete this file at all and setup all settings from scratch after restarting of application.

Hi @PadreAdamo yes, as @tehnick mentioned, it seems like you have an old (probably wrong) path configured in the ~/.config/q4wine/default.conf settings file. You may wish to change it via q4wine's setting dialog File -> Settings or Ctrl + W.

But probably, the error message should be much more clear and user friendly :)

[PadreAdamo]

Thank you @brezerk and @tehnick for the prompt replies!

I don't have a default.conf inside of that directory (~/.config/q4wine). This is a fresh nuke/pave of OpenSUSE. I installed Wine first, as I usually do.

What settings do I change inside of File settings? There are quite a bit of paths there inside (SU, sudo, etc.). It's very strange. Q4wine does not launch without using elevated permissions--KDESU or su

[brezerk]

Hi @PadreAdamo

Um... Wait...

Q4wine does not launch without using elevated permissions--KDESU or su

q4wine does not need root privileges to operate (except some exceptions like mounting iso or running nice command).

I assume you have ~/.config/q4wine directory owned by the root user?
Can you show output for the following commands please?

# id
# ls -al ~/.config/q4wine

[brezerk]

interesting...
ok. and can you show output for this command as well please?

ls -al ~/.config/q4wine/db

[brezerk]

um.... from the permissions perspective everything looks pretty good (except the fact, you have no default.conf file for some reasons) so I see no particular reason, why q4wine won't be able to run as a regular user...

ok. so, what error are you getting when executing q4wine as a regular user (padreadamo) ?

[PadreAdamo]

It's the same fusermount binary error when running as a regular user.

"Cannot find or execute the 'fusermount' binary. Make sure that this binary is available by search PATH variable and see also INSTALL file for application depends."

[brezerk]

ah... ic.

can you show output for this command (as a regular user please):

# which fusermount

[PadreAdamo]

padreadamo@new-host-4:~> which fusermount
which: no fusermount in (/home/padreadamo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin)

[brezerk]

hm.. it seems like you have no fusermount binary installed on your system. do you have fuse-utils package installed?

[brezerk]

(or probably PATH it missing sbin directories). Are you able to get the fusermount path via which using sudo\su?

[PadreAdamo]

I don't see fuse-utils installed. I have: fuse, fuseiso, gvfs-fuse, libfuse2, libfuse2-32bit,libulockmgr1

I can reach the fusermount directory from root terminal.

new-host-4:/home/padreadamo # which fusermount
/usr/bin/fusermount

[brezerk]

I can reach the fusermount directory from root terminal.

which one path it is installed in?

[PadreAdamo]

It shows it installed in: /usr/bin/fusermount

[brezerk]

um :)
ok... can you show please?

# id
# ls -al /usr/bin/fusermount

[PadreAdamo]

new-host-4:/home/padreadamo # ls -al /usr/bin/fusermount
-rwsr-x--- 1 root root 31552 Oct 16 2016 /usr/bin/fusermount

[brezerk]

oh. funny.
for some reasons only root user is allowed to run fusermount binary.
not sure if it is really specific to SUSE.

[ himera ] brezerk@pts/0:4  ~ $
> 04/21/17 15:05:49 EEST > ls -al /usr/bin/fusermount
-rws--x--x 1 root root 31168 Dec 21 00:00 /usr/bin/fusermount

you may wish to adjust the permissions

[PadreAdamo]

Fixed! I changed the permissions on that file and all is well. Thank you very much for your help. Do you folks have a patreon or donation page? I use Q4wine on a number of my machines including on machines i built for my friends.

[brezerk]

you are welcome. glad you find q4wine useful.

as for donation: at this moment paypal does not accept incoming transactions for Ukraine yet and the other donations options are not really works for most of the people.

so currently the only way to help q4wine project:

• help to translate q4wine http://i18n.brezblock.org.ua/
• report bugs :)
• there is also q4wine-next project running, so feature requests are really welcome: q4wine-next: call for ideas suggestions or comments  #69

[PadreAdamo]

Okay! Thank you. I will do what I can for the project. Thank you!
