I just installed wine and am having trouble installing. I get the message
The authority of the current user is limited. The program will exit
further details show
Only members of the administrators group can install programs
I found something on the web page about creating a windows user with no
password, and doing a lot of changes to /etc/sudoers adding WINDOWS_ADMIN
and WINDOWS_USERS and several other things. I did this and still got the
same error.
Then I thought maybe I needed to make a new group so I did
groupadd administrators
usermod -a -G administrators chamberl
usermod -a -G administrators root
and logged out and back in (to get me into that group) but when I tried
to install I still got the same error message. There is probably something
simple I am missing, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?
This is LinuxMint. Can't find the version but the kernel is
2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:36:48 and wine is
wine-1.2.2
I tried both through
wine explorer
and directly cd'ing to the directory and doing wine ./setup.exe
