Today, kernel 3.13.0-58 was updated to 3.13.0-59 on Ubuntu.

Now, whenever I try to start a Windows program in PlayOnLinux, it crashes.

PlayOnLinux suggests using the Debug option, but the log doesn't show anything special; the following are all the lines from today in playonlinux.log from Quicken's folder.

When I reboot into the previous kernel 3.13.0-58, it again works; but back into 3.13.0-59 and it fails. I have tested this with both Quicken and Publisher.

What can I do to diagnose and fix this, please?

• Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
• Wine 1.6.2

Thank you.

This is a known regression from Ubuntu, there's a bug report on their side already:

Thank you. That bug was linked to bug #1479093.

A new kernel, 3.13.0-61, was released today, and it solves the issue.

Pleased to know that it wasn't a problem with POL.
