Share Installed Games with Three Users [Ubuntu14.04]

I am preparing units {reconditioned} for an abandoned mother with three children, all under 9 years. Before giving away I have, as the admin, installed Crossover and several windoze games but they are not available to the children's accounts. I tried this in wine also to no avail. Please help me get these units to their mom. The main unit is one built by myself and is running an AMD Phenom Black Quad w/gig of DDR2 RAM and is running 64bit ubuntu 14.04.

This is "fairly" simple.

  1. Open a terminal and launch CrossOver's Bottle Manager
  2. Click on the bottle of the game you want to add to another account
  3. Choose the "Advanced" tab
  4. Click "Publish..."

That's it.

Now, when you log into one of the children's accounts, launch CrossOver and launch the game.

If you have any further questions, please send us an email, ninjas@codeweavers.com.
