Wine Fresh Install

Post by walk5 »

I had to reinstall a refresh copy of Kubuntu 19.10 on my laptop. I worked through the instructions to install the most recent stable version of Wine. On the last step

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
Then we typed

Code: Select all

winecfg
When we closed the configuration window. We noticed an error message right above the new green user start typing line. As we started to look up that error we found a few other error messages. This was on a different computer so I was not able to just copy and paste the errors. There was a bunch.

Is that normal? Is there a code I should have added to fix these errors?

Are the errors the same as in this topic?

They are similar but we are not setting up a wine prefix yet. This is still the wine installation. If that is normal, I would be happy.

When you run winecfg for the first time, you are creating a new wineprefix in ~/.wine
