[shukero]

Hi everyone,

I followed the Install guide provided here: for my ubuntu 18.04 install as below; but I'm getting an "unable to locate Winehq-stable" error.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? i already tried deleting the release key and re-pulling it.

File ‘Release.key’ already there; not retrieving.

That's your problem: you didn't download the Release.key for the WineHQ repository because you apparently already have a downloaded file by that name. Without that Release.key, apt will not install anything from the WineHQ repository:

You need to download and add the WineHQ Release.key. If you don't want to delete the one you already have, download it to another location.

Thank you for the information; but I've already tried about 3 times to delete that key without luck. Is it possible for you to tell me how to download it to a different location? (Sorry, today is my second day with ubuntu / linux)

I've tried to delete the key I already have by:

1) going to software and updates > Authentication > and deleting the opensuse key within there. But whenever I do this; ubuntu 18.04 goes through the action, but never really removes it.

SO I did this late last night:
1) I did "sudo apt-key list"
2) "sudo apt-key del "key-ID-here"

which looked like it got rid of the key... but when I went back to the first step above, the key was still there.

Can you please help?

Thanks,
~Mike

Hello,

Could you please tell me how to delete the release.key I already have or move a new one to a different location?

I already tried to delete the apt-key last night through the software and updates application within ubuntu 18.04; but Ubuntu refuses to do it through the program... the key just stays even after I type in my password.

I also tried to do it through terminal with "sudo apt-key del #####" which looked like it worked; but when I went back to software & updates application, the key looks like it's still there.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
~Mike

Open your file manager, select the file, and hit the delete key.
