The "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" workaround was removed from the mainline Linux kernel two years ago* so the method described in comment #17 is only valid for older kernels. "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" will not be present in recent or any future kernel versions.
For Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04, the underlying problem with 16-bit apps should have been resolved by other patches that came in the same timeframe. If that functionality itself isn't working, please file a new bug report. * 7ed6fb9 Revert "x86-64, modify_ldt: Make support for 16-bit segments a runtime option" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328965 Title: 3.13.0-29 kernel includes backport of 3.14 16-bit app restrictions but not override method causing wine win9x to fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
