on ubuntu 17.04 winehq install not work

[user4711]

i copy all from your install page text and execute it

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

for the wget need write sudo before or a permission denied come. apt-add do not find the package. error unable to locate package. the other commands before do no error output

wy this not work ?
I use ubuntu 17.04 and there is very old 1.8.7 wine onboard
how can the new get working ?

The wget command will fail - if you don't have write access to your present working directory.

So just to be clear you are doing something like:

Code: Select all

cd    # Move to your user's home directory - avoids directory write permission issues
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Yes??
What command is actually failing?

thanks, that i need cd to home directory did not stand in the install instructions. see here on this page https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
and after i change to home directory i can do wget without sudo and then, install work ok. so please update this page and add that must be in home directory

when i open a shell (with menu open terminal) then i come to a dir in which i can create directory, add files. i use vmware on windows with this image http://www.osboxes.org/category/ubuntu/ here can see the 17.04 image i use, that ubuntu installer offer only a very old version.

So ignore the Ubuntu version if you want to use the latest version of Wine (recommended) follow these instructions instead:

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

I've seen some crazy things but running Windows applications in a Virtual Machine on Windows running Ubuntu...? I'm sure you have a good use case for this...but...it looks odd.

the reason is the new version of tracktion have lots of bugs and the developer tell they can not reproduce it and ask for help. see this thread.

hi,

I am trying to install wine using the commands from the 2nd post here. The last one fails with message:
"E: Paket winehq-devel kann nicht gefunden werden."
This means the package could not be found, I also tried with winehq-stable.

At the ad repositorz command I tried several paths, as I am using Linux mint 18:
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubunt ... nial/main/
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/xenial main' as indicated on the installation page (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu ) returns an error , I checked the website an the path for xenial is as above in the "dists" folder.


Am I doing something wrong here? What else can I try to have wine installed?

uname -a:
Linux LinuxMint 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:34:49 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Thank you.

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/xenial main' as indicated on the installation page

That is not what the wiki says. What it says is

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

Note the space between the slash and xenial.
