Comment 70 for bug 191575

I agree that using the Wine deb from Wine HQ works for running windows apps, but only after some tweaking. I found out that compiling 0.9.54 or 0.9.55 from source, getting debs from this versions from WineHQ or the latest deb from Ubuntu repo would produce the same segfaults when trying to run winecfg for example.

The only way it accepted to run and create ~/.wine for me was by booting in 2.6.22-14. Then, any of the builds described above works normally. I used this kernel version to install Windows apps and set up Wine.

However, now that I booted on kernel 2.6.24-11, I can't run Windows apps, wine apps still segfault. 2.6.24-10 gives me the same results.
