I have a box I'm setting up with Fedora 24. It's an AMD FX8150 based system.

I ran the evelauncher for linux and it downloaded the newer version automatically (whee!) but now it segfaults every time during the stage of fetching wine. It never gets past 80-120 of the thousands of files needed.

Sometimes it'll even lock the machine up (at least the console, haven't bothered to see if it's still alive otherwise.

Please help, I'd love to use this new wonderful thing!

Is just one example. The other one is quite a bit larger.

If possible, switch the the NVIDIA supplied driver, remember to install the 32-bit libraries: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html


As to your issue, QtWebEngine crashes due to bugs in the (utterly terrible) nouveau driver, particularly in cases where the graphics card is overloaded or slow. E.g. As per https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-41242.

Note that when you update your kernel via dnf, stuff might break when using the NVIDIA driver (i.e. Weyland or X may fail to start as your driver is compiled against an older kernel then the one you've just updated to). You can either configure dkms to recompile the driver to avoid this issue (there are command line flags for the driver'sinstaller to dot this for you), or just do what I do: whenever a kernel update happens, just reboot into multi-user.target, re-run the driver installer then reboot again.

It's been a while, hello!

In the meantime I managed to get it mostly working. I had upgraded the video card to a GTX 1070 and in the process installed the proprietary nVidia drivers. That seems to have fixed the issue with not being able to download the wine bits.

Now the launcher sits at 0% checking for updates telling me to look at the logs.

Not that I have any idea where they are. :)
