wine: virtual memory exhausted (Solved maybe)

[ka9qlq]

I've been with Kubuntu sense 7.04 and have loved it but (I really take my hat off to the 8.04 team) 10.04 may make me look at switching yet.

I noticed on gkrellm my 4 gig swap was filling up. Closing programs didn't help so I tried sudo swapoff -a (I forget the error message) no go. So I rebooted ( I HAAAATE rebooting) Skype started crashing on webcam and wine stopped loading ScottradeElete

env WINEPREFIX="/home/alvin/.wine" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\ScottradeELITE\\Scottrader.exe

Got a "wine: virtual memory exhausted" error sooooooo thinking the swap corrupted I deleted the partition with gparted (after reboot swapoff -a worked) added and formatted a new swap which of cores didn't get picked up because the new swap has a new stupid uuid (that was 90 minutes I didn't need to waste) I still can't get wine working. I googled wine: virtual memory exhausted and haven't seen much other than Something about a bug in wine but it was working fine before I rebooted.

Ideas?

Re: wine: virtual memory exhausted

I'm surprised that you're filling up 4gb of swap space but it may or may not be connected to your error. I'm not of the belief that wine virtual memory is the same as linux swap space.

Sounds more like your /home or /tmp is full, but I'd keep looking into it. I'll post back if I find anything pertinent. You should check your wine configuration too and make sure it's using /tmp for is temp location rather than /home.

BTW: if you find your self often reformatting a partition or two, you can change your fstab to mount using labels rather than UUID. The advantage being, each time you reformat a partition you need only to remember to re-label the drive.

Depending on the format you're using, the label option is either -L or -l followed by "DISKLABEL" <-- Insert your label of choice.

Then edit the fstab mount line to /dev/disk/by-label/DISKLABEL instead of UUID=blahblahblah

Me to.....makes no sense.
How do I check my wine configuration? winecfg gives the same error. Maybe delete .wine?

I have the same error messages popping up every single time I try to run a windows app. My partitions aren't even close to get full (> 4 GiB available).

Deleting .wine didn't help ether

Re: wine: virtual memory exhausted

Well I completely removed wine 1.2 installed 1.3 still wont work, then I ran memtest RAM's fine. Kaffeine, VLC, and Dragonplayer act crazy, Skype crashes when I start my video, and glxgears says segmentation fault.

I'm wondering if it's this crappy onboard ATI video or maybe something got updated and doesn't like my hardware?
Oh why did my nvidia have to pop a cap on my sorry butt?

Another problem
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3114567.0

got me looking at what version of wine I had installed. It was a version for an rt kernel not a pae kernal. Don't know if that helps anyone but..........
