Bug ID: 56744 Summary: Serial number in smbios system table is not filled on Linux in practice Product: Wine Version: 9.9 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: bunglehead@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Currently we fill this string from "/sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial" file, which is not always readable by a regular user. I've seen it mentioned on some bug reports that are years old, so I don't think it's some recent kernel change.
