Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to get Wine to work, and so I searched the net and found this:
Quote Adding the WineHQ APT Repository: First, open a terminal window. Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - Next, add the repository to your system's list of APT sources: For Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10): sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list End Quote Ok, the first thing I asked myself is "What's a terminal window?" It wasn't hard to find. I clicked "Applications", went to "Accessories", and there it was. So I opened the terminal window and pasted the advised line of text. Problem? Yes, I haven't the faintest clue what to do next. Well, what do the above quoted instructions say? To repete: "Next, add the repository to your system's list of APT sources:...For Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10):...sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list..." Ok, so HOW do you add the repository to your system's list of APT sources? It doesn't say, and I therefore don't know. Urg, ~Sean P.S. I was able to install Wine (at least I think I was) using the Synaptic Manager, and now it is one of the applications listed when I click on, well, Applications. So I open it and go to the C drive and look for Windows programs. I find the .exe files and right click, then chose "Open with Wine Windows Emulator", and do you know what happens? Nothing, not for any program I'm tried. To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed. Yahoo!
