http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20588 Summary: Please inform us at install time about modification to vm.mmap_min_addr Product: Wine Version: 1.1.31 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hughperkins(a)gmail.com Please inform us at install time about modification to vm.mmap_min_addr , and give us the choice of not setting it to zero. If I understand correctly, it is only needed for 16-bit programs? So, maybe at install time, either: 1. a question like: "Do you wish to enable support for 16-bit applications? This means we need to modify mmap_min_addr, which is a potential security risk." , or 2. for example, in Ubuntu packaging, we could have an optional package, like: sudo apt-get install wine-16bit .... which will ask the same question as in 1, and then set mmap_min_addr For now, I have reversed the change in /etc/sysctl.d/wine.sysctl.conf , but I would like the change to not revert every time I install a new version of wine... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
