If you installed Wine or Dosemu, open a terminal and type:

Most of the Linux users that I know and myself included were not aware of this bug. I posted this info in our local LUG email list.
Two users of PCLOS so far were affected.
My Mint system was not affected, but this is something all users should check anyway just to be sure.
It was mentioned in our list that this fix may need to be run at boot each time for those affected. I havent researched this, but users who were affected may want to run the check command again after rebooting to see if things are still ok.
If things change back the affected user will need to place the patch in "/etc/rc.local" where it will be run each time at boot.
Thank you for posting this info.

You're probably right. When I was looking how to run scripts on boot, someone, somewhere on the vast internet said to make it executable. So I did lol. I didn't knowHusse wrote:I think rc.local already is executable
