#RUN AS ADMIN MEDIAKEYS UPGRADE#

The upgrade went smoothly, though it took a few hours (much longer than the server upgrades) and seemed to go in spurts (perhaps because of apt-cacher?). I used the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops. Ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/bus/usb/devices': File existsĪfter upgrading my Ubuntu servers to 8.10, I turned my attention to my Ubuntu laptop running Ubuntu desktop. Or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid. One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtreeĪ device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir: One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: Note that one does not really mount a device, one mountsĪ filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. Mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Mount directory : mount known device here Mount device : mount device at the known place The command is `mount something somewhere'.ĭetails found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. + mount -rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb + # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work so USB devices appear in VMWare Master ptmx node is already created by udev.ĭomount devpts "" /dev/pts devpts -onoexec,nosuid,gid=$TTYGRP,mode=$TTYMODE # diff -c mountdevsubfs.sh.orig mountdevsubfs.sh Then I restarted VMWare ("/etc/init.d/vmware restart") and my USB devices appeared!Ĭhanges I made to /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh: dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0 The "usbfs" on the begining seemed wrong to me, so I dropped that, resulting in the following line: Poking around a little more I found this advice which seemed cleaner, except it was a little flawed, when I tried adding the line as given to /etc/fstab, it didn't help and I noticed that if I actually tried to invoke the line, I got the following error: However when I re-applied those changes I got an error running the script (see end of post). In fact I have a /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.dpkg.old file with the changes applied, so I know I did. A quick google turned up this hint which I really remember doing before. This sure seems familiar but I can't find a blog post about it.

There's ways to invoke the Windows APIs using a project called JNA, but that may be overkill given the simplicity of this using our combined research.Hmmm, I went to use a USB device in my Win XP win and it wasn't showing up (Under VM/Removable Devices/USB Devices). Since this API works on a byte-level, that's the best approach. There is an API in Windows for setting the flags of a shortcut

If I force byte to 0x22 to match Windows XP's "Run with different credentials", the shortcut runs as administrator as expected.

If I force byte to 0x02 to match Windows XP, no adverse side effects are observed.

If I force byte to 0x23 value to match Windows 10, the shortcut runs as administrator as expected.

Testing the Windows 10 byte changes on Windows 7 show no immediate problems.

If I force byte to 0x23 value to match Windows 10, the shortcut prompts who to run the shortcut as (not identical in behavior, but expected, since Windows XP didn't have UAC, so this concept hadn't yet been invented.

If I force byte to 0x03 value to match Windows 10, the shortcut still works as expected.

Testing the Windows 10 byte changes on Windows XP SP3 show no immediate problems. If there's a byte offset that I should be using that may explain why our values differ.

On Windows XP, I can confirm that byte changes from 0x02 to 0x22 when the Run with different credentials flag is checked.ĭisclaimer: I'm using XVI32 to examine this with a standard hex editor.On Windows 10, I can confirm that byte changes from 0x03 to 0x23 when the Run As Administrator flag is checked.Using C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Paint.lnk Note, I'm using indices below for clarity.
