similar to: restricting access to drive_c

I am a new user to Ubuntu and wine, and I need to copy some files from C:\WINDOWS\system32 to my ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32. Ubuntu is my sole OS. So my question... where in the world do I find the C:\ folder if Ubuntu does not sort directories that way? Also, is there something more than a FAQ, maybe a for-dummies part of the site I can look at to answer questions like this? I've had a

Hi, people! Because XO-1 has a little "disk" space, it will be nice if the location of drive_c can be moved to a SD card. Here in Uruguay, we do not have root permissions in our XO-1. We log in as user olpc an can change permissions only in some directories. And can create links to files but not hard links to directories. The SD card is mounted in /media/label_of_sd_card. I appreciate

Hi, I was thinking about the difficulties and complexities of using chroot in scp or sftp-server, in order to limit the user in which files they can access. I've seen a lot of arguments about how it is pointless to try and secure scp or sftp (also from a logging perspective) because if we allow SSH access, the user can simply provide their own scp or sftp binary, that does not do the

Hi, this is my first attempt at using Wine. After installing wine I tried to install Worms Armageddon with wine e:/Install/install.exe at first I got a lot of.... fixme:ntdll:FILE_GetNtStatus Converting errno 38 to STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL around 50 lines, then the installer appeared and I installed as on windows except to c:/Team17 rather than program files. I then went looking for the WA.exe file

OK, so I don't know what's going on. (even with tinyproxy/firehol off the following occurs). Unless wine is run by root, when WoW is first loaded and trying to login, WoW creates a Cache folder and a bunch of folders under cache for login purposes. The Cache folder exists in: <wine profile dir>/drive_c/users/Public/Applicatoin data/Blizzard Entertainment/Battle.net. Now it can

I just installed WINE and got it working to some extent, but the menu and dialog box fonts are too small. See an example at this URL: http://www.fixaim.com/temp/winecfg.jpg After searching winehq.org and Google groups and various other places, the only remedies that have been suggested have not worked. One suggestion was to copy the fonts found in such places as /usr/share/fonts/ttf and

We are migrating old FreeBSD machines to Redhat EL 5. On FreeBSD, we have previously used "valid users =" with sucess. "valid users" was never a group, but always a list of user names like: valid users = david joe henry Moving to Redhat Enterprise 5, I used the system authentication GUI to set up Winbind and Kerberos and pam and nsswitch.conf. We authenticate off AD, and do

It was never there before until in the last couple of month on one of my computer. My other computer does not have it. What is it? Anyone can explain, please?

Hi Folks, I'm new to Wine and have some basic questions that I couldn't find answer to in the FAQ or forums. Some posts talk about dropping in native dlls into the .wine/.../system32 directory to get apps working, while some posts (and the FAQ) talk about using the wine configuration tool. In order to properly override a DLL, do I install a copy from an MS-windows installation AND

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get MetaTrader working and am almost there except for the toolbar buttons showing up incorrectly. They appear white with some light blue features. I've turned on palette tracing with WINEDEBUG, and ran strace on wine to see if there was any sort of palette data being accessed, but haven't found anything. Is there a method to discover what is causing this to

Hi, New wine user here. Installed Wine with IES4Linux and was totally amazed at how well it worked and how simple it was! Excellent! The problem I have is I want to restrict IE6 from being able to access my entire Linux file system and just allow it to access (for instance) ~/.wine/drive_c. I haven't found out how to do that yet. Is it possible? More detail: In IE6 under Wine,

Hi all! I have wine running in version app-emulation/wine-0.9.29 I have setup the environment via regedit: TEMP=C:\temp --> REG_SZ and tried with both on and two backslashes. dir also exists -=>>ls .wine/drive_c/temp -la insgesamt 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 14.

Because most of our servers are restricted to specific user groups and the AD domain covers the entire university, I need to find a way to limit access to samba shares, preferably using AD security groups; i.e. I want to do something like: [EMdata] comment = TEM Data path = /EMdata valid users = @cns-cryo-emusers guest ok = no writeable = yes where cns-cryo-emusers is an

I'm running Wine1.2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). In my file manager, I can get to the /.wine/drive_c folder, so I know it exists in my file system. However, when I open the Wine Configuration window (either via apps/wine/configuration or via terminal (winecfg), on the Drives tab it shows C: ../drive_c D: /media UDISK (and a few other drives). However, the C drive

Hi, How to change the drive c with winecfg ? This cell is disabled to "../drive_c" then I would move it to "/home/wine/.wine".

Hi there, I just installed Wine on Ubuntu 10.10, and I'd like to have some information. I have 2 harddrives in my system, a SSD and a normal HDD. Wine is installed on the SSD, but I want my virtual C:\ station to be installed on the HDD. Can I just move these directories (.wine/dosdevices and .wine/drive_c) to my HDD, or do I have to do something with the configuration? Thanks for the help,

I keep reading on this list where drive C: is referred to as "~/.wine/drive_c" but on my system (due to no special smarts on my part that would be "~/.wine/dosdevices/c:" instead. Why this difference? Are the ones who post basing their operation on an older way of doing things? The ability to use "c:" rather than "drive_c" seems nicer IMNSHO. FWIW,
