Summary: Pokerstars, other network games need setcap under kernel 2.6.35, ubuntu Product: Wine Version: 1.3.2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: 415fox@gmail.com
Under the new Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, kernel 2.6.35 there's some new security infrastructure which prevents PokerStars and some other network games from doing their networking.
This game worked fine under kernel 2.6.32
There is a work around:
sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wine-preloader sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wineserver
But it would be better to know which capabilities wine needs, rather than give it "all". The problem is I don't know much about this capability-based security system. It's probably something to do with networking since the program starts up okay, it just fails to connect. Once identified, the wine ubuntu install should be fixed so it is set up with these capabilities. I will also post this but on launchpad.
