Installing Wine

Post by HeckenFricken »

So, I am new to linux, and I know this question has probably been asked hundreds of times, but I have been on like 10 different tutorials, and I still dont think I'm doing it right. The last time I tried, I got this message.

The image you are trying to display is on your own computer and cannot be seen by us.
Probably, you can upload the image as an attachment.
Can you post the image or terminal output again?

Yeah, sorry. I'm new to using chromebooks. Is this better?

Did you add winehq repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
If so, I once had that kind of problem when I duplicated my repository in my sources.list
It is a very bad idea: your apt-get install gets packages randomly from a repo, and then switches to the other.
If you did that, you have 2 solutions:
- Clean your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
--> Then Crawl the dep tree up by installing the deps manually, and if you have a package conflict uninstall/reinstall it. Note that it can go very far in the dep tree and have you reinstall your desktop environment at some point!
- Reinstall linux.

There is a workaround that I tend to use since I am using wine on my raspberry pi, its downloading the packages and extracting them manually.

See this post on github to install wine manually: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compat ... /issues/47

Hope it helps.
