Having trouble downloading wine. SOLVED!

[Noidly1]

I want to get wine installed and am having a heck of a time.

I'm trying to go at this as an actual download then install like you would with windows programs you get online.

I tried to follow the directions on winehq's website and its not working.
What am I doing wrong?

[Uptorn]

sudo must be supplied before the other apt commands.

Why are you using a method for installation without internet access? And would it not just be easier to install wine via Debian's package wine?

I can get it via Apper, Discover and Synaptic. They all have the same version.
I went to Winehq website to check it out and according to them, the app will usually be older getting it through app managers.

Since it is harder to go through all the typing and errors, I thought it would easier doing it that way.

You know, it would be a lot easier if these companies would just supply an installer like an .exe, .msi.or a .zip file that you could download and just click setup or install. Heck, a simple apk would be great. j/s...

BTW; I tried to set a repos in the app managers and I got an error. Go figure...
Later I went to do another update and got this

. Now what???

Now what???

The public key of the winehq repos is missing. It can be installed like described in https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/w ... repository:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Hmm. the first line worked but, the second line did not.

noid@Laptop:~$ sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo: wget: command not found
noid@Laptop:~$

I can click the link in the line and either view it or save it. How about I save it and add it to the location created?

[Noidly1]

Well that didn't work.

[blackbird]

If wget isn't installed, you can install it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wget

If you have downloaded it otherwise and want to copy it, you need admin rights, like

Code: Select all

sudo cp ~/Downloads/winehq.key /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key

[Noidly1]

I got everything above to work. Yay,,,
Now, getting the i386 thing to work is another problem.
Err..

Wait a Minute, I don't know what I did but I think it worked.

Code: Select all

oid@Laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Now I tried to install wine and it was a success then did another update and got this>

You have some wrong configuration. Could you show what files you have in sources.list.d?

Code: Select all

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Maybe you have now two configuration files, one downloaded with wget and the old that you created in the GUI.

As a quick fix you can correct the section in the GUI, from "winehq..." to "main".

Hmm. it wasn't specified but, which one should I have it switched to, Binary or Source?

[Noidly1]

I changed the switch to source.
Seemed to clean up update a bit from last time but something is still off.

In the screenshot the "Section(s)" is still "winehq-bookworm.sources" but it should be "main".

You could show the content of the sources file

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-bookworm.sources

just to see what's currently configured.

Then you could change the wget without timestamp checking:

Code: Select all

sudo wget -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/winehq-bookworm.sources

and check again the content with the "cat" command above. It should have changed now.

If this don't helps you could remove the sources file and download again

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-bookworm.sources
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/winehq-bookworm.sources

I think these are the most clean solutions, alternatively you change in the GUI the "Section(s)" for the wine line to "main".

[arzgi]

Did you even try Debian version? Got any errors? It would be in many ways cleaner process, like @Uptorn suggested. Yes its is older, but tested for bugs.

And to i386 architecture, I think the best info is https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

You were right, that worked. Thank you very much.

Yes, I did try that and it did install no problems via Discover. Never got a chance to try it to see if it worked.

I resized my /root partition to make way for a Data partition, different file system, and had ended up having to scrub /root and start over and reinstall debian.

[Noidly1]

I finally got up and running. Yay...
Just a Thank You for everyone's help. Mucho Cracias!!!

[arzgi]

Nice, could you edit the header of your first post in the thread and add [SOLVED] to front of it.

And if you could also tell how you fixed your problem, would be very nice too.

[Noidly1]

After going back and forth with the settings under Konsol and not getting anywhere, I went into the Synaptic repositories and tried a few things and with the help of "Blackbird", finally found the setup that works.
Below are the correct setting to get all of the files needed to download wine.
Make sure that the box on top is set to "Source (deb-src)" and NOT "Binary (deb)".

[blackbird]

Make sure that the box on top is set to "Source (deb-src)" and NOT "Binary (deb)".

That can't be the correct setting. With deb-src you could only download the sources of wine, not the binary packages. Is it possible you have installed the Wine version from the Debian repository?

Not sure. I just know it worked...
I will look into this later.
