I knew there are a lot of questions about wine but i can't find or fix with there answers. Can someone help me to fix installation about Wine please.

Here are the command output while trying to fix it:

  • Update 5

    After I could install wine as suggested by Sneetsher. I still can't run .exe files using wine. Screenshot belowis for:

    wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe is top window. And both windows in the bottom are for OLLYDBG.EXE by clicking on it.

    I can't make any edit through notepad.

    enter image description here

    $ wine --version
    wine-1.6.2
    $ which wine
    /usr/local/bin/wine
    

Please, let me know If I have to provide more information.

    I have install wine on 64bit and 32bit and i have never did this sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 have you tried to regenerate your sources.list file ?

    @BeGood all you do is delete sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list You will need to add you're PPA's back if you do this. Then you open software-properties sudo software-properties-gtk and tick Canonical , Community,Propietary,Software restricted then click Close then Reload.

    Edit your question and add the output of uname -a; lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy wine wine1.6 wine1.7 After that run apt-cache showpkg wine wine1.6 wine1.7 and add this output here: paste.ubuntu.com. and give me a link and a ping in the comments with @A.B.

This will be kind of resume to the trials in the comments above and the related chat room where it was resolved.

What we tried without success:

  • Enable i386 architecture sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386, as Wine needs many dependencies from the 32bit repositories.
  • OP created new sources.list with all components enabled.
  • Disabled all PPA's (Check with grep -r "^deb" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/)
  • aptitude which gives many solutions but all were trying to remove most of the installed desktop packages (>200 packages) or keep it as it is without installing Wine.
  • Installing 1.6 instead 1.7 sudo apt-get install wine=1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4, same unresolved dependencies message.
  • Tracking the conflict down using apt-get install, then got branches.

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libglu1-mesa:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 or
    libgl1:i386
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    

    It is not practical to search for conflict this way, waste of efforts and time consuming.

So what we are looking for could be a far (not direct) dependency package:

  • Not available in official repositories + Wine PPA.
  • Or installed but has a version not from official repositories + Wine PPA.

    (ie. installed version is higher than those available from repositories. apt-get & aptitude do not provide solutions with downgrading some packages)

Here are resumed steps:

  1. Add back Wine PPA
  2. I installed debfoster on my machine with same release of OP's system (14.04). Generate list of all recursive dependencies of wine:

    debfoster -d wine
    

    (Why is this? OP can't run this on his machine because debfoster like apt-cache works only for installed packages)

  3. Asked the OP to provide the output of apt-cache policy ... for the list generated in the previous step. (Update 4, in the question)

  4. Then stored previous output and filtered it for easy review:

    grep -e "^[a-zA-Z]" -e "^[ ]*\*\*\*" -e "^[ ]*[1-9]00" -e "^[* ]*[0-9][0-9a-zA-Z:+_~.-]* 0" wine_policy_output.txt
    
  5. Found these packages:

            500 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
    

    These seem from “xorg-edgers fresh X crack”. Downgrade them to the version available in repository:

    sudo apt-get install \
      libdrm2=2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 \
      libdrm-intel1=2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 \
      libdrm-nouveau2=2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 \
      libdrm-radeon1=2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 \
      libwayland-client0=1.4.0-1ubuntu1 \
      libwayland-cursor0=1.4.0-1ubuntu1
    
  6. Still couldn't install wine, we looked for any other suspected package:

    libcgmanager0:
     *** 0.39-2ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1 0
            100 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports/main amd64 Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
         0.24-0ubuntu7.5 0
            500 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
         0.24-0ubuntu7.1 0
            500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages
         0.24-0ubuntu5 0
            500 http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
    

    This one: 1st point, it is from backports. 2nd point, the current version 0.39 is too far from 0.24 in the stable repo. Downgrade it:

    sudo apt-get install libcgmanager0=0.24-0ubuntu7.5
    
  7. Now, wine installation passed well

    sudo aptitude install wine
    

About the rendering issue, the windows are grayed. As it seems from wine --version 1.6 but we have installed 1.7 & which wine brought that system have a local version of wine installed from source.

Try echo $PATH, you have some thing like:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

See..the variable PATH, it is where the system looks for executable. So writing just wine in shell, it will look in /usr/local/sbin folder, if not found then /usr/local/bin then /usr/sbin then /usr/bin...

Quick fix, removing that local copy of wine:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/wine*

If you want to keep it, you may run wine with full path:

/usr/bin/wine ...

Update:

I could reproduce same problem on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 installation. I confirm that the only troubling package is libcgmanager0 version 0.39-2ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1 which I don't know how it got installed in the first place.

The packages from “xorg-edgers fresh X crack” PPA are clean and I had suggested downgrading them as a procedure to isolate the problem.

"After I could install wine as suggested by Sneetsher. I still can't run >.exe files using wine."

Right click on the exe file and select properties. Then check "Allow executing as program" in the Permissions tab or open a terminal window and {chmod +x /path/to/file/file.exe}

    It was a corrupted local copy of wine in /usr/local/bin/. Removing it fixed it, mentioned in the chat room and just updated my answer.

Use aptitude instead of apt-get. It is more intelligent. It not only will handle downgrading conflicting packages for you, but will make a series of recommendations asking you which of many possible suggested working scenarios you would like.

sudo aptitude install myNewPackage

If you don't have aptitude on your machine yet, get it with

sudo apt-get install aptitude
0

The next solution worked for me:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds

apt-get update

apt-get install --install-recommends wine

pass above commands under the root

Found it here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Open Software and Updates and under Other Software tab

  • Enable Canonical Partner Repository.

Under Updates tab enable,

  • Recommended updates
  • Unsupported updates

Select "Close" and "Reload"

It is better to tick above unchecked repositories one by one. Then "Close", "Reload" and then execute sudo apt-get install wine

So you can find out exactly what repository you are missing.

Try this:

  sudo -i
  sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
  sudo apt-get install wine1.6

and push enter when it comes whit linens screen, and it might work fine this way.

  • @Michael sudo bash is, in general, less good than sudo - i or sudo - s, which set up the environment (with slight differences between the two) and are also fewer characters to type. Also in a larger network environment there are accountability benefits IIRC

  • Sorry, but I don't see any sense in sudo bash or why this should solve the problem...
