I am running a simulation software installed using wine, but when I run a demo, it says:

cannot open network adapter: any: you don't have permission to capture on that device(socket: operation not permitted).

  • What happens when you use sudo wine [programName] ?

  • It says "wine: /home/jeevansai/.wine is not owned by you". Nov 5, 2016 at 18:46
  • Seems like a restriction from sharing wine with several users. This is probably good, since running wine with sudo could introduce a security risk. Sorry, I dont have an answer to your original question. What program are you trying to run through wine?

Wine is a compatibility layer that allows some Windows software to run under Linux.

It isn't for drivers or any other software requiring direct hardware access. Your simulation software seems to require it hence the cannot open network adapter error message.

A similar Linux native software is needed for the purpose.
