wine users - Apr 2009 - Freezes my Computer when I....

When I download Wine, and click apply changes in the Add/Remove Applications
tab... it looks like it's working then will just freeze My system... any got
any ideas?  [Twisted Evil]

In case you mean that your system freezes during installing wine using the
ubuntu software manager (you weren't too precise with your question):

You could try doing it per command line and redirecting the output to a file so
you get a chance to read errors that may occur during the installation process
at a later time.

e.g. try this in a new terminal:


Code:

gksudo apt-get install wine > winelog.txt




By the way - does your system really freeze or just the screen? e.g. is the hdd
led still blinking after freeze etc.?

Also it's always helpful to provide information of the hardware/software the
error occurs on, in this case:
- What linux distribution are you using? Ubuntu? Debian? Suse? Mandriva? etc...
- Is that linux distribution 32 or 64 bit?
...


I'm sorta linux noob myself though,
