similar to: Cannot Install Wine

Hi, Couldn't find the answer searching the forum. I would like install Wine on a system that has Ubuntu 9.10 but NO access to the Internet. I have another system with Ubuntu 8.04 which can access Internet, but the instructions at http://www.winehq.org/download/deb seem to imply that it would install the Wine on my 8.04 machine. Is there any binary I could download that I could put on a

I am a complete linux noob and I've downloaded and extracted wine and winetools... but when I got to the install application on wine and try to open it, nothing happens. Could someone help me install wine?

Hello, I 've been using Wine 1.2 wjth Ubuntu 10.04-LTS an a 64bit Asus laptop for almost one year. In the beginning, everything worked OK (graphic refresh, focus, etc...). Now Wine works bad, I suppose some updates in Lucid do not suit Wine 1.2 (?). I tried XP mode, W98 mode (my applications are oldies ;-), but the behaviour seems bad in any case. On this laptop, synaptic shows Wine 1.2

I'm very new to linux and want to get to know it better, but the problem i have is what version of wine must i install and how it works. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 and would like to run a few apps from windows xp.(like office 2007 etc)

DOING sudo apt-get install wine it says install complete but the .wine root is still empty ( and i'm unable to use any "wine" command ) INSTALLING from any new/old

Dear R-users, I'm using Ubuntu dapper, which only have R of Version 2.2.1. Would anybody tell me how to install the latest version of R with Synaptic in Ubuntu dapper system. Thanks!

I am using: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu as an additional repository in Synaptic so I can use the latest (released) version of wine, 1.5. Today, with the wine 1.5.5 update, I can no longer run World of Warcraft, so I'd like to revert to the 1.5.4 version until the latest released version works. Unfortunately, I can't force Synaptic to use 1.5.4 (perhaps because the

I have just noticed that my version of wine is 1.3.28 which is apparently a bit outdated. Strange cos I installed it via Synaptic. Anyway how do I get hold of the latest version? Must I uninstall the old one first? Can I update from one to the other? Do I have to reinstall all my programs? Thanks

I don't mind using sudo apt-get update/upgrade/install buit I get into crazy loops (hours) that clearly can't be trusted. But when I use Synaptic (reload/mark for install R-base) every time I get some list of things things it want to install as well and syas "Mark" which it does not do and when I go forward with the Synaptic install of R-base I get this (and abort) every time:

My Emails a week or so back were about installing Rstudio and the R shiny server on Debian. I was using an old Toshiba laptop as a sandbox for that and it would only install i386 (same for Ubuntu). Using the information at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ I did get to the point where I had R 3.5.2, Rstudio and the server on there (with some help from Dirk that is in the list archives).

well, I had the site and page and I had added the relevant backport but it didn't work and i keep installing R 2.7 . Don't know why; i probably missed something. #### May be you should add in your mail the file : /etc/apt/sources.list (I suppose there might be a typo, as IT addresses are long and booring, and AFAIK, correcting a typo one made is **very** difficult). FYI binary installs

Hello: I have a new install of Ubuntu 12.04. I have tried to install R via source, apt-get, and the deb packages from a cran mirror. Each of these had issues. I followed the secure apt key install. The apt-get and deb installs each have the same error. So, let's ignore the source install for now. This is the error: >> sudo dpkg -i r-base-core_2.15.1-1precise2_i386.deb (Reading

i typed in the feisty code in terminal, and then i typed in sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install wine and i still cannot run a game of mine that is supposed to work with wine any advice?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with WINE 1.2. I had to replace my hard drive, so this is a fresh install of both Ubuntu and WINE. I can accept the user agreements and open the installer, but when I get to the world.MPQ (i think thats the file) file, WINE crashes and tells me there was something wrong and the install hangs at 24%. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu AND WINE so I don't know where to

Thanks to everyone who has responded (esp. Michael, I greatly appreciate but also recognize that getting R on my machine is not your career). Your last response was (basically) uninstall, reboot, retry Synaptic, if no good try: judson at judson:~$ sudo wget http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/hardy/r-base-core_2.9.0-2hardy0_i386.deb I GOT --15:03:02--

okay so if i have an old version how do i update to the newest?

Since upgrading to quantal, I find that synaptic and apt-get cannot read the sources.list file if it includes the previously standard line deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/ quantal This line makes apt-get or synaptic give an error message identifying this line as having a syntax error. If "multiverse" is added at the end of the line, the line is parsed, but then

I'm running R (currently 4.4.1) on Linux Mint > sessionInfo() R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Running under: Linux Mint 20.3 ...truncated... To install a new R package, is it better to use Linux Mint's pacakge manager (e.g. synaptic, apt-get, or similar), or to install it within R with install.packages("some_new_package")? I've done both over

I had an exchange of ideas on this with Dirk E. a couple of months ago. He can correct this if I state it wrongly, but 1) we agreed that using apt/Synaptic structure was best, but sometimes the packages are not available 2) also that using install.packages when there is a .deb can lead to some "confusion" (the package database on the local system does not know about an R package

I am brand new to Ubunutu and Wine so I really need help, I have no clue what I'm doing. But I followed the guide Here ("http://www.winehq.org/download/deb") and I got to where it said to click there and when I did, it prompt if I wanted to install Wine, and I said yes, and then I got an error window that said: > Cannot install 'wine' (E: Unable to correct problem, you
