Creating Password For Wine?

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxforums.org – I am trying to figure out how I can restrict other people who use this computer from installing programs with wine. Here's what I did so far: - Clicked on 'Browse c:\ Drive' in the Wine Directory - Right clicked on 'Program Files' - Clicked on The 'Permissions' Tab - Set permissions to 'Access Only' Now, the only problem is that anyone can just right click and reset the permissions so they can install a new program. What I am hoping for is to set a password for changing the Permissions ... can this be done? Thanks for the help! (HowTos)

I was installing cygwin on my Windows 7 desktop. I guess I picked a bad mirror site because the download speed was very slow and it wasn't able to give me all the packages I wanted.

I closed the setup in too much haste. I think it was still downloading and not yet installing though.

Read/write permissions ntfs 3 years 22 weeks ago

I am running fedora 10 and am trying to get read/write permissions to my windows ntfs partition.

Hi All,

I have an ftp process that is connecting to a Solaris server and pushing files into a directory. The default file permissions are rw-r--r-- . I want the file permissions to be rw-rw-r--. How can I configure the directory so any file created there will have the permissions rw-rw-r-- ?

Thanks

*Note the permissions on the directory are drwxrwxr-x

I seem to have deleted some files on my media drive, simply by changing the permissions.

The Story

I have many operating systems installed on my computer, and constantly switch between them. I bought a 1TB HD and formatted it as HFS+ (not journaled). It worked well between OSX and all of my linux installations while having much better metadata support than NTFS.

I'm a Newbie using Lubuntu 12.04

I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have installed (with the synpatic manager) Wine1.4, winetricks, wine1.4 i386 ,wine gecko1.4, wine1.4common.

From the GUI I can open programs/accessories/notepad (It works.) But if I click on "Browse C drive" I get Error "No such file or directory" If I click on "Wine Tricks&
