           Summary: Pokerstars, other network games need setcap under
                    kernel 2.6.35, ubuntu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: 415fox at gmail.com


Under the new Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, kernel 2.6.35 there's some new security
infrastructure which prevents PokerStars and some other network games from
doing their networking.

This game worked fine under kernel 2.6.32

There is a work around:

sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wine-preloader
sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wineserver

But it would be better to know which capabilities wine needs, rather than give
it "all". The problem is I don't know much about this capability-based security
system. It's probably something to do with networking since the program starts
up okay, it just fails to connect. Once identified, the wine ubuntu install
should be fixed so it is set up with these capabilities. I will also post this
but on launchpad.
