I have Ubuntu 10.10 dual booting with Windows 7. I have a couple of games on the Windows partition, some of which can be run with Wine. The problem is that I can't turn on the executable bit on files from mounted drives. When I go to properties and try to toggle it, it turns back off. I always need to copy said programs to the Ubuntu filesystem, which is annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks
.exe
files need to be executable? They're not being executed,wine
is being executed and is loading them. (Just like a Python script doesn't need to be executable if you writepython script.py
or shell:sh shellscript.sh
)
