bingus Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Anyone had problems with wine crashing, then being unable to completely kill it off...? The wineserver I can terminate, but I am left with other running processes called "wine-pthread" which don't want to be killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pthreads are POSIX-Threads: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pthread If a process doesn't like to be terminated in a "civilized" manner, you can do a "kill -9 <process number>" as root. Very few processes can ignore this; for those I happened to encounter I could not find any other solution than terminating the process evoking them in the first place or rebooting.

I did give that a go, but it wasn't working either. I found a post from a Ubuntu user who had the same issue, could only get them to terminate by rebooting. Ah well, it was only a once off... so I'm not too worried about it. Cheers though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
