Wine thinks I don't own it

Post by alligatorguy »

Wine will not launch from GUI. Run from the console, it tells me I do not own it. don't have much time to figure this out...done pulled most of my hair out. Running Ubuntu 16.

Have you ever run Wine as root/sudo? That will mess up the permissions in the wineprefix. If so, follow these instructions to fix it: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#I_ran_wine_ ... _errors.3F.
