CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hey there,

I am trying to install Enterprise Architect 11 into a fresh bottle. All goes fine until it tries to it comes to the point where it says: Installing MDAC 2.8

I waited apprx 30 minutes but nothing happened. After that I tried to cancel the install without much success, so I killed crossover on my Fedora 20. In the background there were still some processes that are running on consuming most of my processors. Some winewrapper process goes u to 100% CPU usage.

I cannot remove the bottle since it waits until it is able to determine which applications are installed in the bottle.

Any help is appreciated.

I just checked: The problem already appears, when I install only MDAC 2.8 SP1 in a new bottle.

I think you should open a Support Ticket and include the install log file. I also think you should include the output of:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag

You might try installing mdac 2.8 into a fresh bottle and then installing Enterprise Architect 11.

Thanks for the answer. I already opened a ticket http://www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=993160 to solve this issue.

Hey Dirk,

Any chance you got that resolved? I am having the same issue and have tried creating a new XP bottle and installing MDAC 2.8 and it hangs right out of the gate. Just thought I'd ask since Google isn't being nice to me on this one.

It's a kernel bug:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/7/145

If you're on the 3.14.6 kernel, you should be able to open a terminal and run:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16

It will re-enable the 16 bit code. This does come with some trouble. You should read more about it here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328965

or here:

http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2014-06/msg07982.html

Or other various sources.

Unfortunately, the broken behavior was back-ported to Ubuntu 14.04 and the fix has not yet been back-ported. Of course, MDAC 2.8 is affected by this issue. Our sincerest apologies.

We are working to improve the behavior within CrossOver and the commits are filtering to the various affected distros. If you would like to know when CrossOver has been updated with a fix, please write to ninjas@codeweavers.com and ask to be added to bug number 11938.

Ahh, that makes sense. I see a fix was committed in Trusty. I'm still on Precise atm until the .1 version of Trusty comes out (sticking with the LTS upgrade schedule for stability). I'll be upgrading as soon as the Trusty .1 release comes out though so no worries here. Thanks for dropping the info in the forums for others to find as well.

FYI: I did attempt to email ninja@codeweavers.com to be added to the bug but received an error 550 unroutable address. Not sure why I'm getting that but thought you should know.

Thanks!

Ugh, I think the proper email address was ninjas@codeweavers.com (notice the extra "s") but sending it to info@codeweavers.com should also work. Also, 12.04 suffers from the same problem currently since Canonical backported the security fix...

Okay, that seems to have worked. Thanks for the corrected email.

I figured that security fix would have been back-ported so I just thought I would upgrade to the latest LTS release once the .1 release is done. Thanks again!
