[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 675880] [NEW] Playonlinux in ubuntu 10.10 Not able to run ie 6 smoothly

[Ankur Joshi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: playonlinux

I have upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 10.10

In 10.04 i didnot have any issues with Playonlinux & IE6 running in it.

But as i have upgraded the problems started appearing. my IE6 was
refusing to get open. So I completely removed Playonlinux & wine package
& reinstalled them afresh in ubuntu 10.10.

playonlinux:
  Installed: 3.8.5
  Candidate: 3.8.5
  Version table:
 *** 3.8.5 0

But still problems persist, as i tried to installed IE6, its still not running well and gives me blank browser screen. So I am not able to open any any websites. This is what exactly happens --->
browser is able to detect the website, the title of the page changes accordingly with the website, but the page content never appears. Also when the mouse pointer is moved on the browser screen it constantly shows busy icon. If it is continued for longer, Ubuntu 10.10 hangs and need to manually switch off the machine. 
I have checked with internet connection; its fine & working; its the genuine issue with Playonlinux in ubuntu 10.10 only.

I have attached the screenshot of page with IE6 which appears blank in
playonlinux
