Description

ISSUE

when I mount my ntfs-3g hard disk using thunar. The output of the command:

WINEPREFIX="/my_ntfs_hd/prefix/" winecfg

Shows the next errors and fail -> https://pastebin.com/raw/gCWPTSNk

SOLUTION

I mounted the unit using fstab with this line:

UUID=53B3871A016FD97A /run/media/zeioth/datos/ ntfs-3g  uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,fmask=177

After rebooting, winecfg works correctly again.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

Mount your ntfs-3g hard disk using thunar, then run the next command and see if ends gracefully.

WINEPREFIX="/my_ntfs_hd/prefix/" winecfg

PERSONALS NOTES

This bug was introduced in one of the last updated I installed (arch antergos + xfce). Please, could you try to reproduce it? Thank you.
