http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1795 ------- Additional Comments From jerome.bouat(a)wanadoo.fr 2003-26-10 02:48 ------- Imagine I am a student which uses an University system. I will not be granted for the "root" rights. Even if I choose an install in my home directory, the install program will not complete just because I'm not root ! In my opinion, your install program discards some testers from the wine community. Moreover, in the previous example, students could give you new development forces. You have to mean it as a feature enhancement: "Offer user installation capability". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 1798] Keyboard focus to terminal, not the game
by Wine Bugs Oct. 25, 2003

Oct. 25, 2003

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1798 ------- Additional Comments From mike(a)theoretic.com 2003-25-10 16:13 ------- This is a well known bug - try running the games in Desktop mode, and see if that helps. Basically we are using override-redirect to remove window borders for fullscreen apps, and this plays silly buggers with keyboard focus. The right way to do this is to use EWMH/MWM hints to switch off the borders. I don't know why we don't do that currently. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

Almost always the installation is done as root, and there are very few users that actually audit the source first. We all go on the basis of our trust of the source. Wine does not present present any special risks in this regard, and there is no need to treat it differently from any other compiled program, and long as it is always *executed* as a normal user. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1620 ------- Additional Comments From alexander.janssen(a)gmx.de 2003-25-10 12:42 ------- Now that was strange; i disabled the video mode extension. From XF86Config-4(5x): Option "DisableVidModeExtension" "boolean" This disables the parts of the VidMode extension used by the xvidtune client that can be used to change the video modes. Default: the VidMode extension is enabled. Not sure if that was the right thing, but i tried anyway and included: Option "DisableVidModeExtension" "true" Well, now something weird happened: The first time i started the program in question (Marble Blast Demo) a window from the program actually appeared (instead of that wine immediately dropped into the debugger) and complained about some missing files; allright, that is something which is a problem of the program and not of wine. I tried again, then the error appeared again. The program never started again. Weird, uh? Not reproducable. And dumb me didn't save the debugging information. Is it worth trying to reproduce that behaviour?

I included the "UseXVidMode" statement, without success, same error. How can i check if my version of wine supports xv? i grepped for xv in wine.bin and wineserver, without any result. Is there some magic commandline switch like "--show-compileoptions" or so? I will disable xv and see if it is working then.

This is strongly not recommanded for an alpa release. Moreover, Windows programs could then cause some security problems. I think the installer do not need to require "root" rights. For example, I created an "install" group on my system. This install group can modify the "/usr/local" tree. Moreover, I could give rights by hand when "wineinstall" ask for them. As a fix, you could simply display a warning such as: "Use root user for a simplier installation.
