Updating to Ubuntu 18.04, I felt like playing a game. I installed PlayOnLinux, Wine version 1.8, and I followed a step-by-step tutorial I had found months ago to make it work.



What happened in both versions, 16.04 and 18.04, is that Wine configuration window is a very small window, with probably 1 pixel by 20 pixels, a stick on the screen. Using version 16.04 I found out that removing all libz.so from .PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/1.8-staging/lib would solve the problem, but for my unpleasant surprise, in version 18.04 this doesn't work. What happens is, when it is about to display the configuration window, POL will show a crash window and nothing will happen.



What do I need to do to make this window at least show its contents and allow me to proceed with the configuration? I have Microsoft fonts installed but it changes nothing.
