Wine not starting on lubuntu 17.10.

[Joao Lacerda]

Hi Friends

I need some help on this issue.
I am trying to install wine on lubuntu 17.10 and till now i have not succeed.
I follow this " how to " of wine website https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu.

and that are the error message that i have gotten on the terminal.

Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-lkxkPN/135-libsane1_1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


after "wine run" on teminal, I got this message


wine: configuration in '/home/joao/.wine' has been updated.
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\run.exe"

Thank you for your time.

Just so we are on the same thought process, you did do this:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Which command did you use to install?

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Development branch

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Staging branch

(discontinued)

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

And I don't know why you would not install it without adding the PPA
I'm on Bionic Today, and a quick search shows:

I have not added the PPA

[Dennis N]

after "wine run" on teminal, I got this message
wine: configuration in '/home/joao/.wine' has been updated.
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\run.exe"

The wine command uses an executable windows program file as an argument:

wine program.exe

Wine appears to be working. So in your question, wine looks for a Windows program named 'run' (apparently it will add the .exe if missing) and can't find it where expected. Don't know how much you know about Wine, but you should first run winecfg in the terminal to configure the wine environment. Then, you need to first run the installer of a Windows program before hoping to run the program itself.

Nice catch Dennis N.
I must have been reading the link and by-past that info.
Cheers

Thank you for your time.

I don't know much about wine. I have it installed on ubuntu 16.04 on other pc and it works fine.

the problem is on lubuntu 17.04.
I can run winecfg and it works.
but I can not install any exe file the system do not recognize it.

Can you give us an example?

[Joao Lacerda]

Thank you 1Fallen for your time.

I do not have installed the " winehq-staging'
only the winehq-stable.

[1fallen]

Great! I was hoping you'd say that.
On any .exe is there any right click mouse options now? (Let me know if I'm to vague)

[Joao Lacerda]

1fallen thank you very much.

the right click !

Thank you very much.

[1fallen]

Great!
Enjoy.
