[Solved] How to get Playonlinux/Wine/Debian11?

#1 Post by keos »

Hello there,
I need to run an application, I have tried to do it here by installing Wine but I can not make it to run, it gives me errors ... what has always given to me good result with this app has been to get it with Playonlinux but it seems that I must add this repo in Debian-11:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-add-repository contrib
I'm not sure if I can add this repository.

In short, how can I get installing Playonlinux?.

Thanks for any advice.

You need to add contrib to your sources,
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Exa ... urces.list

I am not sure about this, but you could add it as repository in this form
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye contrib

It should be added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d, and should work. If I am wrong can someone correct me?

My /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty all repos are in /etc/apt/sources.list so it is not very clear to me what to do ... :?

Try to run
sudo apt-add-repository deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye contrib
It should be appended to /etc/apt/sources

The command is not apt-add-repository contrib but add-apt-repository contrib
But first you have to run:

Code: Select all

# apt install software-properties-common
to enable it.
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

Unless you're a programmer, you don't need the sources. Remove or uncomment all the lines with deb-src.

If you want both contrib and non-free
To see the changes just do:

Code: Select all

Easily done. :wink: I run an instance of Bullseye in qemu and I always run the commands myself to see if they work before posting. No way would I install windows binaries in wine and other non-free crap on my main installation. :mrgreen: but each to his own ...

OFF TOPIC:

You are right, but HOW m'i going to get what i need? -- that reminds me of the fight that started years ago with the 'systemd' issue, and at the end ... :cry:

No, please don't add that line because it is a command to add contrib and non-free, but the correct command, as stated, is:

Code: Select all

# add-apt-repository contrib && add-apt-repository non-free
And the terminal output should state:

Code: Select all

'contrib' distribution component enabled for all sources.
'non-free' distribution component enabled for all sources.
I had to edit my post because, like mm3100 I typed "apt-add-repository contrib && apt-add-repository non-free" even though I had posted the correct command before that! It's an easy mistake to make because most apt commands begin with apt.
Of course, it's easy enough to just edit the sources.list file to add them.

Use cat to show what's in a file:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Then Edit --> "SelectAll" -->Copy and paste.
No need to add contrib and non-free to the deb-src lines because, since you have commented them out, might as well not exist; they won't be updated.

You are all fine now, it should work great.

As for adding contrib and non-free with add-apt-reposatory, I didn't know you can do it that way. I though you had to specify url as well, but it seems that is needed only for PPA.

With the new Debian installation and no longer wanting to have the proprietary/free repos, it remains to be seen if I can install and run the application only through Wine.

I found this guide to install Wine on Debian 10.

[Google/translator]: https://translate.google.com/translate? ... debian-10/

https://linuxblogonline.org/como-instal ... debian-10/

If someone could please tell me how valid or not these steps are for Debian 11.

Thanks.
