119252 2003-02-08 02:28:00 Well, I was running a program using Wine (on my RH8 box), when the system litrally ground to a halt (I was trying to do too many things at one, far too many apps running), so I hit the reset button and booted back up, however no noe of the programs that were running in wine before will lanuch, and when I type wine from the command prompt i get this (sal.neoburn.net) message, odd.

Any ideas?


Cheers

119254 2003-02-08 02:45:00 I can't see those postings ... I'm limited to nz sites here.

But: NEVER reset the computer. A lot of disk operations are not done immediately. There is a process which synchronises the disk and the buffered stuff, but a hard reset loses a lot of information. Use ctrl/alt/backspace to kill a GUI, then shutdown from a root terminal session. Or ctrl/alt/del will actually start a proper reboot, unless it has been disabled in /etc/inittab .
Or Ctrl/Alt/F1 and use a root terminal session to shut things down.

119255 2003-02-08 02:57:00 Well i really should have done a ctrl+alt+backspace then shoulden it, Ctrl+Alt+Del didnt work.

The link just has a picture of the error which says

[liam@localhost] liam]$ wine
wine: file '/home/liam/.wine/wineserver-localhost.localdomain/socket' exists,
but I cannot connect to it; maybe the wineserver has crashed?
If this is the case, you should remove this socket file andd try again.

119256 2003-02-08 04:17:00 I've run into it before (without hitting reset).

Just browse to where the file is its complaining about and delete it (.wine is hidden so you will either need to turn on show hidden files or type it into the address bar).
