Can't see wineconsole.

Asked by lan1967

wineconsole cmd
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/belial/.wine'
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x651e914, overlapped 0x651e918): stub
wine: configuration in '/home/belial/.wine' has been updated.

But there is no console I can see.
Earlier it worked but something changed.
I tried to completely reinstall wine but didn't help.
Thank you to all concerned.

Why do you want a cmd console? Seems a lot strange

can you not just launch the command from the terminal that you would normally launch from cmd?

PowerShell in also doesn't run which is a shame as it would also work.

I may run file in wine cmd but not in wineconsole. I just don't see that blackbox of wineconsole. It never happened before.

If you still want to run the Wine console, you can do this by running this command:
wineconsole --backend=user cmd

This will open cmd in a Windows-like terminal window.

If you want to take over the current terminal, type:
wineconsole --backend=user cmd

If you want to run a command line program directly, replace "cmd" with the path to your program. Note that the wineconsole will exit immediately after the program's exit, so you may have trouble reading its output when run this way.

Ok, I use the command:

wineconsole --backend=user cmd

and I see:

belial@belial-laptop:~$ wineconsole --backend=user cmd
cursor blinking

The process is running but don't see that Wine console on my screen.
Hey Winnie, where are you?

A Wine console window should appear - sometimes it takes quite a while for it to do so.
How about when you run it with --backend=curses?

P.S. Yeah, my second command line in my previous answer was supposed to say:
If you want to take over the current terminal, type:
wineconsole --backend=curses cmd
...sorry about that, oh and you exit it by writing "exit" (without the quotes).

Let's do it.

belial@belial-laptop:~$ wineconsole --backend=curses cmd

Ta-dam...
Terminal window goes completely grey with blinking cursor on the top left corner.
Nothing can be printed in console & Ctrl+C doesn't stops the process.
Something is wrong in the system but what.
Thank you for attention.

Hmm... definitely odd...

Maybe your Wine configuration is a bit funky - could you try to back it up and let Wine create a new one?
Like so:

mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak

And then try again?

What version of wine are you using?
1.3.2 made several changes to the wineconsole, as far as I know, so may have fixed/introduced this particular problem?

I use 1.3.2 version for Maveriсk

I tried to move the folder but it didn't help.

wine 1.3.3 update seems to work normally.
