When I try to go download Wine, It says "There isn’t a software package called “wine1.4” in your current software sources." I've already checked the Wiki page, but it says to just "install" it, which I cannot. Can anyone help me with this, I've already added the respository thing from the wine site, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Please help!

Just checked the wine site, and 1.4 is available from their PPA. Head to your terminal, and add the PPA manually:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Then update your APT package information by:

sudo apt-get update

You should then be able to install 1.4 with the following command in the Terminal:

sudo apt-get install wine1.4

Let me know if that works.
