[Wine]wine-20040716 and kernel 2.6.7 problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After I upgraded to kernel 2.6.7 on my fedora core 2 system, I have one problem with wine. In this kernel, the binfmt_misc feature is not built as a module, but compiled into the kernel. Therefore, the 'modprobe binfmt_misc' command in the wine startup script fails. The script needs to be modified to only run the modprobe if /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc is not found.

Secondly, under this new kernel, the permissions of /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc are:

dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Aug 13 22:52 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

And therefore, the wine startup script fails to register wine as a handler for windows executables, because it cannot write into the 'register' file (which by the way, does not exist). I can no longer run windows programs by double-clicking on them, or typing the name at the shell prompt.

When I filed this complaint in the fedora bugzilla, Arjan said that it wasn't their problem; that it was an upstream kernel problem. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Have you found a fix for it yet?
