Public bug reported: Hi,
I guess I stumbled upon a VERY old problem; I can't make some of my windows-programs work, despite they have a gold rating in wine. Some old Windows binaries that include 16-Bit Code need the kernel to have echo 1 >> /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 enabled, but that pseudo-file does not exist on my 16.04 Ubuntu system. root@Johnnyfive:~# echo 1 >> /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 -bash: /proc/sys/abi/ldt16: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden root@Johnnyfive:~# ls /proc/sys/abi/ vsyscall32 The issue is discussed in lots of places: --> https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/7/508 --> https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22700 --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2228133.html The issue seems to be a very old regression, a bug on this was filed and closed in 2014. --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328965 So I think that this is a very old and annoying regression that just wont stop keep coming back. Could you please include the fix once and for all?
