Bug ID: 459037
Summary: For security reasons, launching executables is not
allowed in this context.
Product: frameworks-kdeclarative
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: jc18...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Downloading .exe programs and attempting to utilize WINE, WINEGLASS, Q4WINE,
WINE TRICKS - any
available program available through Fedora available software to install
Windows programs without
any success. Because the " system" will NOT accept executable (.exe) files due
to 'safety concerns'!
I have attempted to locate a bypass or override for this and can't find it
ANYWHERE! :-(
(bug 433148 addresses similar problem, For security reasons, launching
executables is not allowed in this context,
EXCEPT for programs 'already' installed.)
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. https://www.downloads.cnet.com - select Driver Booster (IOBIT DRIVER BOOSTER
-FREE-) download
2. On KDE Plasma, access Wine to download
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
error message received - For security reasons, launching executables is not
allowed in this context.
EXPECTED RESULT
Program loaded OR method by which I can change system to accept .exe files.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 36
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.97.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5
Kernal Version: 5.19.8-200.FC36.x86_64(64-bit)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am NOT a programmer and know NOTHING about the KDE system except that it's a
clone/work around
browser similar to Windows without the problems Windows has. However, for all
of the quirks Windows
has ... I wonder IF KDE Plasma/Linux was the right choice? (previous
Linux/Cinnamon user & hated it)
