[Wine] Getting League of Legends to work on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit
I have next to zero experience with Unix/Ubuntu/Linux systems. Recently I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on my machine and I'm trying to make it so that I can run League of Legends on it. I am a complete blank slate when it comes to terminal commands as I know none. I have tried to follow the following two explanations of how to set it up but my limited knowledge of ubuntu and wine are hampering me. I can't even figure out which version of Wine I need and which I have let alone get the patch to download/install. If there's any way, can anyone explain these steps in detail for someone that has never used a Linux machine before?

The instructions I've tried to follow are http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=354696 and http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141&iTestingId=60521

I would start by reading the Wine uUsers Guide at http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/index Install the current stable version and see what works before trying anything else. Does League of Legends actually run on 64 bit? Cheers Alan

Sorry, I should have said Install the current stable version of Wine and see what works before trying anything else. Cheers Alan

running wine --version confirms that I have wine 1.2.2 being honest though I don't know what Fedora is or what a yum upgrade is. As I said, I am a complete novice to Linux systems and really anything outside of GUI control of a computer. Do I need a different version of wine for running League of Legends on my machine?

Martin, Thank you for the response! I'm learning command line usage as both a hobby and in school for my Physics and Engineering classes as we use Fortran95 and Unix based commands in our programming. I know that this is something I need to learn if I want to take full advantage of of the OS and that's what my intent is. With that being said, believe me, I realize that I am in over my head right now expecting to perform advanced operations in an OS that I am so inexperienced in. I appreciate the help, and apologize for packaging along some Linux questions in general along with my wine issues. As it stands right now, all I'm really interested in is configuring my wine/machine to run LoL. At the current moment, I have Wine 1.2.2 installed and can't figure out how to do much more. That's where my interests lie. Thank you!
