Installing wine in Kubuntu

[-gabe-noob-]

yea I was thinking about getting syntapc (or however you spell it) cause I'm more familiar with it but i couldnt get it from adept so I didnt know what to do

you could also try killing all the adept processes and try running adept again.

killall adept

[jualin]

try

sudo apt-get install synaptic

to install synaptic. My personal opinion is that synaptic is better than adept.

ahh god now synaptic is taking FOREVER to download wine, its not even moving

this is what I get after a while

W: Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/....10-1_i386.deb
Could not connect to wine.budgetdedicated.com:80 (81.171.111.184), connection timed out



Edit: on a totaly unrealated note do you know any bridge builder type games that I can get from synaptic thats already in the repos?

This website has some information of how to install wine http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb this should work in Kubuntu too. Give it a try. I hope it works

[-gabe-noob-]

yea I've already started trying that, thanks for all your help man

My pleasure bro, I hope you get it to work. That's the bad thing about linux, sometimes you have to try some things for a while until they finally work. The good thing about using Ubuntu or Kubuntu is that the forum community is wonderful, the response is almost instant. That's why is my favorite distro. How long have u been using linux?

I use WINE in Kubuntu and haven't had an issue installing it.

Ah which repository are you using for WINE? Perhaps remove it from your sources.list and try the WINE from the ubuntu repos first. I can only speak from my own experiences here, but I later updated to using WINE's repositories over the ubuntu repos version and had no problem. Note ubuntu's version put shortcuts in my menu for anything I installed in WINE and the WINE repos version doesn't. Not a serious matter though since it is easy to "roll your own" shortcuts.

Less likely from what I gather, but to pass along experience from a recent "could not" is a firewall or router or moblock/peerguardian possibly interfering with the connection?
