similar to: Ubuntu 9.04. Wine totally removed and now impossible reinst

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

Ok, I was following a guide to install Office 2007 on Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine. I added exceptions (rpcrt4.dll and msxml.dll) as Native (Windows). After doing so wine broke, I can't even open winecfg to remove these exceptions. I've tried removing wine completely with Synaptic are reinstalling but nothing is helping, I currently have v 1.1.19 installed, it's still not working. when I use

I can install Wine fine but whenever I try to use anything that associates with Wine (Running an exe, changing settings, ext) my computer just locks up forcing me to restart, I can't even move the mouse, and the clock even stops working on my computer. I was wondering what I could do to fix this because I need Wine or I have to use my slow assed Windows computer.

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?

I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10. When I search for Wine in Synaptic it tells me I have version 1.1.14 installed, but on the about tab in the Wine config window it says I'm using 0.9.60. I'm left wondering who I am being lied to by. Any ideas?

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 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've installed Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy on my Mac. When using MacOSX, I used to work with R 2.2.1, but now, with Ubuntu, I can't download it with synaptic. I can only download R 2.1.1-1, and I really need 2.2.1. I've tried to edit the sources.list file, typing deb http://cran.R-projet.org/bin/linux/debian stable/ R/r, using a different mirror,... but when I run synaptic, it says: W:

By default Wine installs its fake-windows part into $HOME. I want rather have it on a separate partition, that I mount as /wine. How can I do this? What I have found was: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Advanced_Wine_User_Information#Changing_the_location_of_Wine.27s_installation My steps so far: - Installed Wine with Synaptic - # wineprefixcreate --prefix /wine - I find the fake directory

I've tried installing wine using synaptic on ubuntu, also compiling form source and a couple of other ways but never get a ./wine/config file ? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

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 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:

Hello, i am a new Linux user as of last weekend. I successfully built my first computer and installed Ubuntu 10.10 and wine 1.2. I am using the hdmi out on my nvidia gtx 460 graphics card with on-board which works fine with standard pulseaudio for all tested native apps (system sounds, hulu on firefox, warzone 2100). I have tried every combination of winecfg audio tab settings as well as

I posted this on Ubuntuforums but after reading a bit more it seems this is mostly used for gaming questions so I decided to come here. I am running 64 bit Ubuntu intrepid (still a beta but a release candidate). I can see Wine in my application menu but when I go to Programs/Acessories/Notepad nothing happens. I am unable to open the configuration nor am I able to uninstall using the Applications

Hello there, It was working just fine for two hours.

I get ~$ winecfg X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major

On installing Xubuntu 11.04 yesterday I installed WINE via synaptic, selecting the package 'wine' manually which seems to have then installed 'wine1.2' and then some other packages. [Image: http://oi51.tinypic.com/s4za78.jpg ] I was going to add the WINE repo to upgrade to 1.3 when I saw the package already exists in synaptic. My question is why doesn't Ubuntu use 1.3 which

I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this. I have recently migrated my server from a custom built Linux with Asterisk, Zaptel and Oslec running fine, to Ubuntu Server 8.10. I have Asterisk installed via synaptic at it works fine. I have built and installed the zaptel package by doing the following commands: sudo m-a -t build zaptel cd /usr/src sudo dpkg -i zaptel-modules-{version}.deb sudo

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. Those are from use the winecfg command. When i click the audio tab

I'm building a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, including Dovecot. When I select the dovecot-core package in Synaptic, it also wants to install ntpdate. Problem: ntpdate has been replaced in Ubuntu with timedatectl. In fact, if ntpdate exists on the machine, ntpd will not work properly. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html See:

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
