Discordchatexporter: wine linux black window

[chwba]

I followed the linux wine installation guide and rebooted then when i start it with the command give in the wiki i see a black screen of the window only and the terminal is spammed with 0036:fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x641f914,0x00000000), stub!

DCE on Wine is reeeally buggy. But I tested the instructions more than once (on Ubuntu) and it worked every time.
Most Google results are "did you check the winehq database" instead of solutions.
Try reinstalling everything and see if it works.
Not sure if @Tyrrrz could do anything here.

Alright I will try btw very nice work i used it on windows already its awesome

Oh am one question I would have how do I remove all the wine stuff I installed?

[Yudi]

For a quick reinstall delete the wine folder that probably is at your user home and run
sudo apt-get --purge remove winehq-stable
To do a complete wine uninstall follow this. You may also want to apt remove the other packages that the wiki recommends to install (zenity, p11-kit-modules:i386, etc) if you don't need them.

perfect, thanks

Ok, I tried the complete remove and reinstalled, same result. I had the feeling while reinstalling that it didnt remove everything though, especially the .net stuff, because it asked one time if i wanted to repair it.

Wine installs stuff in /home/user/.wine by default, winetricks has its own directory (prefix) I think, but the WINEPREFIX env changes everything to /home/user/wine, deleting this folder should’ve “uninstalled” .NET 🤔.
Since it didn’t work, let’s wait for @Tyrrrz. :-(

debian 10 (buster) thx for the hint ill look for the remainings and reinstall everything again

[Tyrrrz]

I can't really do much here as I don't even use Linux :(
The GUI version was never meant to run on non-Windows OS because it uses a Windows-specific graphics library for rendering UI. Generally, it's recommended to use the CLI version on other platforms, as it's crossplatform and can run via Mono/.NET Core/Docker.

yeah ill just use it on windows then. i cleaned all the wine stuff and tried running it again still getting the black screen.
