setcap works with Wine but not with Proton (Proton "ignores" it)
by Liemaeu from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F93R)
I want to get the ping working (for Battlefield 4). I use Kubuntu, Proton 5.13-5 and wine-devel from WineHQ systemwide.
When I run:
wine cmd.exe
with my systemwide wine-devel, and in the CMD e.g.:
ping google.com
I get a timeout error. When I now run:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /opt/wine-devel/bin/wine-preloader
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /opt/wine-devel/bin/wine64-preloader
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /opt/wine-devel/bin/wineserver
and after this:
wine cmd.exe
and in this again e.g.:
ping google.com
Ping now works fine as it should.
When I run ping with Proton 5.13:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/richard/.proton/ /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run cmd.exe
and in it e.g.:
ping google.com
I get a timeout error (as expected). When I now apply the setcap commands for Proton 5.13:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/dist/bin/wine-preloader
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/dist/bin/wine64-preloader
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/dist/bin/wineserver
And after this:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/richard/.proton/ /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run cmd.exe
And in it e.g.:
ping google.com
I get a timeout error again. It doesn't seam to work with Proton.
When I now check the caps:
wine cmd.exe
getpcaps <PID of CMD.exe with wine-devel>
I get the output:
<PID of CMD.exe with wine-devel>: = cap_net_raw+epi
But when I do the same for Proton:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/richard/.proton/ /home/richard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run cmd.exe
getpcaps <PID of CMD.exe with Proton 5.13>
I get the output:
<PID of CMD.exe with Proton 5.13>: =
The caps don't seam to work with Proton.
