Issue updating UDB under Wine

Post by AresUII »

Procedure 1:

1. Open UDB.

2. Wait for update dialog.

3. Click "Update".


Intent: Update UDB.

Actual result: Updater complains about missing admin privs.


Procedure 2: Run Updater.exe.


Same intent, same result.


Wine 10.0, Noble 24.04.1.

What am I doing wrong?

I know there's an attempt to have UDB be ported over to Linux natively. Until then, I recommend to download the latest whenever there's a major update and installing that way. Pain in the butt, but the best option we have for now.
