[PATCH v3 0/3] MR5118: Administrator tokens, part 1: Elevate processes where necessary.
by Zebediah Figura (＠zfigura) 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Wine currently runs all processes with an elevated administrator token. As described in bug 40613, some applications refuse to be run with such a token. This patch set addresses the situation by creating all processes with an unelevated adminstrator token by default. When a process attempts to elevate itself through one of several mechanisms—which would show a UAC prompt on Windows—we instead silently elevate the process, as if the user had granted access through the UAC prompt. This works for almost all applications. I have found only one application which didn't get the memo, and actually asks the user to right click and run as administrator, namely PaintTool SAI. Fortunately, 063a377df4f, combined with the shell32 patch in this series, allows a Wine user to elevate that process by opening explorer.exe, right-clicking, and selecting Run as Administrator, just like on Windows. This patch series has been in Wine-Staging for about three years. This was partly to try to find and fix all the different creative ways that applications tried to elevate themselves, but mostly because I needed to find a solution for PaintTool SAI, and never quite got the time to implement run-as-administrator in shell32. EDIT: Now only includes the patches elevating processes through specific methods (runas, msi). -- v3: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5118

[PATCH 0/1] MR667: win32u: Ignore SetWindowPos() if it is trying to change topmost state for child window.
by Paul Gofman (＠gofman) 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

I think the behaviour of SetWindowPos() in this case is partially explained by the fact that topmost state is not strictly applicable to child windows and so Windows denies such requests. Child window can still end up with WS_EX_TOPMOST style if it was set at window creation (doesn't work this way in Wine now) or, e. g., like in the test added in the patch. Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20190 Also fixes game load dialog in Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/667

[PATCH 0/1] MR5214: win32u: Ignore set_window_pos from non-popup children
by Vaxry (＠vaxerski) 03 Mar '24

Hi, took a stab at fixing [20190](https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20190) Windows seems to ignore the requests to set geometry for non-popup children. Tested on my machine and patch seems to be working. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5214

[PATCH v5 0/1] MR5211: ntdll/unix: Use termios2 for serial when possible.
by Kirill Zhumarin (＠kirill.zhumarin) 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

Termios2 is a modern Linux feature thats allows usage of any custom baudrate instead of hardcoded values from the 1970's. Also, this patch improves compatibility with the win32 api, because windows allow any custom baudrates by design. Example software for which this patch is needed: http://www.vi-soft.com.ua/index_e.htm This software for reading/writing/patch fullflash of Siemens mobile phones, where serial speed is important. V-Klay uses 1600000 baudrate and perfectly works on Linux with termios2 and Prolific PL2303. -- v5: ntdll/unix: Use termios2 for serial when possible. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5211

[PATCH 0/1] MR5213: Fix Cyberpunk 2077 spawning only one dispatcher thread in FreeBSD
by Katharine Chui (＠katharinechui) 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Normally Cyberpunk 2077 spawns #cpu_threads of dispatcher threads. However with Freebsd, since create_logical_proc_info was a stub, the game would instead spawn a single dispatcher thread, causing the game to just crawl. Working around the issue by adding a barebone implementation of create_logical_proc_info for FreeBSD so that the game would at least get a thread count through ntdll. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5213
