[Bug 54238] New: Wine can't map file with exec priv on real CDROM
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54238 Bug ID: 54238 Summary: Wine can't map file with exec priv on real CDROM Product: Wine Version: 8.0-rc2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: tuxifan(a)posteo.de Distribution: --- During Fresh Minder installation, wine attempts to map a file with EXEC privilege into memory, causing an icon to fail to load. This can be solved by the user by remounting the cdrom with exec privilege, but Wine should handle this on its own (for instance by making an internal copy of the file in a place where EXEC is possible). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54238 --- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.org> --- It's questionable to add a workaround to bypass system policy. If the CDROM is mounted noexec, then failing to exec from it is arguably the correct behavior. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54238 --- Comment #2 from tuxifan(a)posteo.de --- Just like in so many cases, Wine needs better error reporting here... An average user won't see this little console message and won't know what to do. I know Wine probably isn't meant for the average person, but even I would appreciate a little dialog (like the one you get if gecko is missing) with either a button to fix this issue automatically or a command to execute to fix it. I know this is falling into off-topic, so I am stopping right here :-) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
