Wine on Asus EEE

[ezpezo]

Hi,

Thsnks first of all for a great forum.

I was wondering if someone could make an easy 1 2 3 guide how to install and rune wine on my new asus eee? Its the new one with 1gb memory.

I am very new to this and would appreciate if someone teached me how to run some easy windows programs on this great pc

Such as VLC, utorrent and some other things... How to run .exe files and so on.

Thank you in advance!

btw, it has the xandros os

Thanks for the answer!

I got onto the first step, but when i try to find Repositories..... I cant find it, because my os is norwegian.. So can someone printscreen where i can find it?

If this is to much to ask, i am sorry! [/i]

Repositories translates into "Förråd" in Swedish (vet inte vad det heter på Norska).
Under the settings menu it´s the second from the top you should choose.

Edit: Send me a pm if you don´t find it and I can tell in Swedish instead. Don´t know if the moderators on this forum would like it if I wrote in Swedish here.

the following works for the 701
[edit] and also for the 901!

to install wine 1.0

open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) and type:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/preferences [press enter]
copy and paste this to the file:
Package: *
Pin: origin updates.xepc.org
Pin-Priority: 935

Save and exit kWrite

in a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) type:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list [press enter]
copy and paste this line to sources.list:
deb http://updates.xepc.org/ p701 main

Save and exit kWrite.
Staying in terminal type:
sudo apt-get update [press enter]
Staying in terminal type:
apt-cache policy wine [press enter]

if the return is Candidate: 1.0.0-1+eeepc2
from xepc then all is good!
Staying in terminal type:
sudo apt-get install wine [press enter]

when installed, from terminal type:
winecfg
opens settings for wine

after sudo apt-get update, i get this at the end:

Code: Select all

W: GPG error: http://updates.xepc.org p701 Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 36E9E3DE1ACBEB0D
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

so when i do apt-cache policy wine, it says Installed (none). I've done it before, except I had to reset my eee to factor settings, now none of the googled instructions i found works all the way.

help?

It looks like the instructions are missing a step--adding the GPG key. I found some instructions for that here: http://www.xepc.org/en/2008/01/26/how-t ... c-repo/34/ (scroll down to the last screenshot; the instructions for the GPG key are right below it).

howdy everyone. I'm very new to linux, and the whole programming bag, and I need help. I have an eeepc 4g surf with debian 4.0, and I'm coming across the same problems as these guys. Getting the gpg didn't work, and I'm lost and confused. (Not to mention I don't understand any of this!)

thank you

[Dyscea]

i've tried sudo apt-key add xepc-pubkey.txt, but i get this:

Code: Select all

gpg: can't open `xepc-pubkey.txt': No such file or directory

.... that was a few hrs ago when my browser was able to open that txt file, but now it seems offline for awhile now: http://updates.xepc.org/dists/p701/xepc-pubkey.txt

so still not resolved, i'll keep checking unless there are other ideas.

[dimesio]

Did you download the file?

[Dyscea]

No ^_^ I wasn't quite sure what to do with it ... save it to my docs or any folder? Would the rest of the instructions have been able to find the txt file if I did?

[dimesio]

Save it anywhere you like, just cd to that directory before executing the command to add it.

[Dyscea]

ohhhhh ... thx. i'm a linux n00b if it hasn't been already obvious. Although learning to work in it through trial by fire ain't that bad.

So the download is still down, but decided to Google and found a mirror site for the gpg pub-key
http://download.tuxfamily.org/xepcrepo/ ... pubkey.txt

Yosh! I had this whole thing typed out that I was still getting an error but I forgot to add the key before updating

ALL GOOD! Thx y'all

you can safely ignore that error message
apt-cache policy will say none installed
unless you have previously tried WINE
it is double check to make sure
the correct repo is being used
(ie that the previous instructions were followed)

follow the instructions through
it is sudo apt-get install wine that does the install
having checked you are about to install the correct version

[hotshauny123]

will that how to wine on eee wiki work for the 1000 too

[K4Z00]

no reason it shouldn't
i know the instructions provided
by me above work for 701, and 901
the wiki instructions are for synaptic
using the same xepc repo

it's more of a question of
preferring command line or synaptic

[K4Z00]

Code: Select all

wget http://updates.xepc.org/dists/p701/xepc-pubkey.txt [press enter]
sudo apt-key add xepc-pubkey.txt [press enter]

will add xepc public key
works without it though anyway

[hotshauny123]

cheer for that
