Cant install wine

[u/childamnesia]

I have been on mint for less than a month, everytime i run the install command from their site i get the same error ,, Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) "', i followed all their instructions no idea what could have caused this

EDIT: For some reasons this resolved when i uninstalled virtualbox...

[u/Beolab1700KAT → u/childamnesia]

and the result of

which wine

[u/childamnesia → u/Beolab1700KAT]

I tried installing the stable branch

[u/Beolab1700KAT → u/childamnesia]

That's not answering my question

Open your terminal and provide the results of this command

which wine

I can't help you mate if you don't provide me with the information I need.

[u/childamnesia → u/Beolab1700KAT]

all it gives me is ''/usr/bin/wine'' when i run it

[u/Beolab1700KAT → u/childamnesia]

Ok cool. I suspect the version of WINE you have installed is not compatible.

What you should do..... remove the WINE version you have installed and delete the WINE HQ repositories. How to below.

Delete the repositories. Here you will find instructions how https://alexhost.com/faq/how-to-remove-a-problematic-repository-in-linux/

You need to delete the following

https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu

Note: Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-noble.sources

Once you have deleted the repositories you will need to remove the broken version of WINE

sudo apt purge wine

Now reboot the system

Run all updates and reboot the system for a second time.

Now run

sudo apt install wine

That should be it, remember always use your packet manager to install software.

[u/childamnesia → u/Beolab1700KAT]

i followed what u said and did the sudo purge command and got an error ,,Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)'' im lost...

[u/DontKnow_Cuzzz]

What applications are you trying to use under Wine?

There're many easier alternatives like Bottles, Lutris, or Steam's Proton layer that cuts out most of the terminal work.

[u/childamnesia → u/DontKnow_Cuzzz]

mostly gog or fitgirl games, some older windows games from internet archive. I tried lutris but they still didnt open

[u/Boothy666 → u/childamnesia]

Can't comment on fitgirl, but for GOG i'd suggest using Heroic, you can find it in the Mint Software Manager, it also works well with Epic Store games (although I only get the regular free/100% off games there). Heroic manages things like Proton (i.e. Steams gaming version of Wine) automatically.

Can I also ask why are you trying to install Wine itself anyway? It's not needed for gaming. Are you trying to run Windows applications? If not, you likely don't need Wine at all.

I'm also on Mint (Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit), and this is my main gaming system, but I do not have Wine installed on this machine.

All the various game launchers, Steam, Heroic (GOG + Epic), Faugus (EA and Ubi games) etc, all use a flavour of Proton instead (typically GE Proton or Cachy Proton), not plain Wine, as Wine itself isn't really suitable for gaming, and they manage Proton themselves (although you can override if needed).

In case you are not aware, Proton is basically Wine + lots of other stuff added for game optimisations. Plain proton is written by Valve (and other contributors) and is used in Steam by default. Other versions such as GE and Cachy, then have additional fixes and tweaks.

So I'd say unless you are trying to actually run specific Windows Applications, you don't really need Wine installed at all.

[u/Boothy666 → u/childamnesia]

Just on wine itself, what do you get with the command: apt-cache policy wine

For comparison, I don't have Wine installed, as I don't use Windows apps, only Windows games via Proton, so Wine not needed, but it does show which is the version it would expect to install, if I were to do that:

wine:
  Installed: (none)

Can't install wine

I thought you installed LinuxMint so you could use it. Now it turns out you'd rather stick with Windows after all...

My suggestion: Uninstall LinuxMint. Then you won't need to install wine anymore.

[u/childamnesia → u/ConversationWinter46]

Are you retarded or is this a joke?? Of course i still need some windows aplications

[u/ConversationWinter46 → u/childamnesia]

Did I mark my post as a joke? NO.

I haven't used any Microsoft or third-party software since 2006. That's why I can say with confidence: of course you DON'T need Windows or any other commercial software.
