That is correct and wine can access the drive(s) without an fstab entry(s) This bug was mainly referring to the combo of no fstab aand the security bit being applied to .exe's on a cdrom,. (improperly I believe Many people will try to run the .exe from 'browse folder', -> r. click on whatever.exe -> 'open with wine windows program 'loader. Without an fstab the .exe can't be run, with an fstab it can, the security bit is not applied on cdrom's when there is an fstab entry A solution for that (other than editing out the cautious-launcher from the .desktop or creating a custom wine launcher) is to address from cli Ex. setup.exe on drive d wine D:/setup.exe The other instance is when some programs need to access the drive during their use, without a drive letter assigned in wine they will fail if the inserted media has no filesystem - blank media, audio cd's This can be worked around if an IO of ASPI is available, if not then an fstab entry is the only way. (programs that use SPTI would be affected -- no cd/dvd drive detection for wine in lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554642 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
