It's a bug in that Ubuntu's wine can't run a number of Windows apps due to this. A few example apps:
Catia http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16156&iTestingId=50899 Quicken 2010 http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18171 Stronghold Legends http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11924&iTestingId=56413 Visual C++ http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7500&sid=d10c93707f9764618e4bbcc3c66ecca0 It's not a bug in wine, and not a bug in the app, that they need lots of file descriptors. Making the user raise the limit himself just for the one app is inconvenient for them. Now, one could magically endow wine with the ability to raise its own ulimit -n with some sort of wrapper, and maybe that's what will happen, but in the end select() must die, or we'll keep bumping into these problems. But hey, if you say this isn't a good match for the bug tracker, I'll go file it in brainstorm as well. -- Why can't Johnny handle 1025 file descriptors? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
