wine-tkg package seems broken

[soupglasses]

When running wine notepad.exe to test the wine-tkg package wine-7.11 ( TkG Staging Esync Fsync ) a lot of errors spew out about:

• Cannot get server thread queue
• failed to create desktop window

in an infinite loop until the computer crashes.

This does not happen with the nixpkgs packaged wine, which leads me to belive that there is some issue with how wine-tkg is packaged.

Some example output from running notepad.exe:

My current nix-info -m for help with reproducibility:

• system: "x86_64-linux"
• host os: Linux 5.15.49, NixOS, 22.05 (Quokka), 22.05.20220701.915f5a5
• multi-user?: yes
• sandbox: yes
• version: nix-env (Nix) 2.9.1
• nixpkgs: /nix/store/737x6b497aja65nr0f75nnxfzag1vl1v-source

[fufexan]

It works on my system, which leads me to believe:

• Wine built on nixpkgs-unstable is incompatible with nixos-22.05. If it's the case, I'll add that as an input and create new wine packages that build on that.
• There's some kernel specific functionality going on. I use xanmod_latest, but I notice you're using the default kernel. Could you maybe try any of the newer kernels to see if they fix the issue?

[soupglasses]

So i tried setting inputs.nix-gaming.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs" and compiled it against my nixos-22.05 target. This did not fix the issue.

Setting boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_xanmod_latest did not help the issue either.

One of the new things i noticed is that wine seems to be repeatedly opening new explorer.exe and conhost.exe instances. Which explains the failed to create desktop window error. Its using up all available desktop windows i can run on x11, then sending those errors over and over when it keeps trying to launch explorer.exe and conhost.exe. Not sure why wine is stuck opening thousands and thousands of these however.

[fufexan]

That's an interesting finding. Are you running GNOME X11 or Wayland? I've almost exclusively used Wayland in the last year, with Wine running in XWayland, but never encountered such problems.

[soupglasses]

It is running GNOME X11 with nvidia proprietary drivers.

[fufexan]

I wonder if nvidia is to blame here, but since this is X11 the chances are slim. I'll try to replicate your system on my machine.

[soupglasses]

If you want the exact build. It's on https://github.com/imsofi/coturnix
I'll get the latest update pushed when I get home.

[soupglasses]

So i tested the wine-tkg package on my non-nixos based machine running Fedora, and it works flawlessly on both Wayland and X11 Gnome. That leads me to believe it may be a quirk in my NixOS setup, probably relating to nvidia with their proprietary drivers, which has lead me down odd issues in the past.

I will not get access to that machine again until next month, so i cant debug it further until then.

[fufexan]

I currently don't use nvidia on my systems so I can't test, but we can leave this issue open if you still care about wine-tkg.

[Kid0h]

Was this solved? I'm having the exact same problem, though on Ubuntu, some of my friends also have the same problem and are using Manjaro.

[soupglasses]

What kind of systems do you use? It may be a issue of hardware acceleration, something that may need nixGL to be used correctly?

[Kid0h]

What kind of systems do you use? It may be a issue of hardware acceleration, something that may need nixGL to be used correctly?

I have an NVIDIA GPU and an Intel CPU.
I think this might not be the right place to talk about this issue as it doesn't have anything to do with nix specifically, but we're already here so why not 🤷🏽‍♂️

[soupglasses]

This ended up being a upstream issue around a faulty patch and how it interacts with certain versions of (nvidia?) hardware. Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git@96fcdb9

This issue can be closed when the next wine-tkg update comes with this patch included.

[SuperSamus]

This issue is still open.

[fufexan]

Sure, but it does not happen to me. If anyone has any clues why it might not be working, do share it with us.
