Reporting Bugs

Before reporting bugs against wine please make sure your system is up-to-date.

yum upgrade

Also check if a newer version is available in updates-testing

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing upgrade wine

Please make sure before reporting bugs that you have at least the wine meta package (+ dependencies) installed

Then check in the Wine Application Database [3] if your application is supported and the bug is a packaging bug and not a bug/missing feature in wine.

The next step is to check in the above list if your packaging bug has already been reported.

If you are using the proprietary graphic drivers from ati or nvidia please remove them from your system and try again as they are known to cause problems.


The next step is to see if the problem persists with a clean ~/.wine folder. To try this without losing your old configuration do something like

mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-save

Afterwards try to trigger the bug again. Your original wine folder can be restored with

rm -fr ~/.wine; mv ~/.wine-save ~/.wine

If your application still does not work but has been working in a previous version of wine it is probably a regression. Take a look a the [4] wine application database and consider filling a bug in the winehq bugzilla [5] .

If you really think that your bug is packaging related file a bug against the wine component at [6] .
