Newbie to Wine and Debian - Installing wine for Debian Etch

Post by krraleigh »

Trying to install the key so that I can install wine, but I have this error.

krraleigh-PC:/etc/apt# wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/aapt/387##263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Can you suggest what I might do next?

Thank You
Kevin

From http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
The right command is :

Code: Select all

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

more questions

Post by krraleigh »

thanx for insight

I loaded wine and tried to find version info and the help but this is what I get instead. From the looks of things it looks like I have a few errors here. Can someone looks this info over and tell me if I am correct?
krraleigh-PC:/etc/apt# wine --help
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit
krraleigh-PC:/etc/apt# wine -version
wine: created the configuration directory '/root/.wine'
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on CA0106, disabling mixer
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/root/.wine' has been updated.
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\-version.exe": Module not found
It looks like my audio mixer has been disabled, and that I won't be able to run browsers. Is this correct? What to do...

insight appreciated
thank you
Kevin

installing wine as root

Post by krraleigh »

OK I installed wine as root, even better I am in the process of installing IE

Should I uninstall wine and IE and start over?

If so is the uninstall the same as installing in aptitude?

You install Wine as root.
You run Wine as normal user. That includes installing programs under Wine.
