| UncleGus | can anyone help me out with installing wine in ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| olly_ | UncleGus: what's going wrong? | 22:11 |
| UncleGus | sudo apt-get install wine gives me: | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not installable or | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | wine1.7 but it is not going to be installed | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | sudo apt-get install wine1.6 tells me that wine1.7 replaces it | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | sudo apt-get wine1.7 gives me: | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 22:13 |
| UncleGus | wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.12-0ubuntu1~saucy1) but it is not installable | 22:13 |
| olly_ | what architecture are you on? | 22:14 |
| UncleGus | sudo apt-get install wine1.7-i386 gives me: | 22:14 |
| UncleGus | Package wine1.7-i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 22:14 |
| UncleGus | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 22:14 |
| UncleGus | is only available from another source | 22:14 |
| UncleGus | E: Package 'wine1.7-i386' has no installation candidate | 22:14 |
| olly_ | UncleGus: dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH | 22:15 |
| olly_ | i'd guess you're using a 64-bit install | 22:16 |
| olly_ | not sure what the multiarch status of saucy is though - I don't have an ubuntu that recent around here | 22:16 |
| olly_ | UncleGus: hmm, i can't see those versions - only 1.4 and older here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=wine&searchon=sourcenames | 22:20 |
| UncleGus | sorry, I got distracted by work | 22:23 |
| UncleGus | inconsiderate boss | 22:23 |
| UncleGus | The program 'dpkg-architecture' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 22:23 |
| UncleGus | sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev | 22:23 |
| UncleGus | I think it is 64 bit though | 22:24 |
| UncleGus | is that the issue? | 22:24 |
| UncleGus | should I be looking for "install wine on ubuntu 64bit"? or something? | 22:24 |
| olly_ | well, that'll probably be why "Package 'wine1.7-i386' has no installation candidate" | 22:24 |
| olly_ | but I'm unclear where you're getting 1.7 from | 22:24 |
| olly_ | do you have some PPA or other external repo added? | 22:24 |
| UncleGus | no idea, man | 22:25 |
| UncleGus | never used linux before a few days ago | 22:25 |
| UncleGus | aha | 22:27 |
| UncleGus | I think I have it | 22:27 |
| ajmitch | it's normal for wine to have both amd64 & i386 enabled for dpkg, I think that's been the default | 22:31 |
| UncleGus | I'm following this tutorial thing, and it had an extra step for running wine on 64 bit wheezy, and I ignored it because I'm not using wheezy, or at least I don't know what it is= | 22:36 |
| UncleGus | so I just ran that step and it's doing some stuff | 22:36 |
| UncleGus | installing wine | 22:36 |
| UncleGus | you'd think it would be one of the first things you'd find though, when you google the error | 22:37 |
| UncleGus | it was the first thing you asked me | 22:37 |
| ajmitch | was the step something like dpkg --add-architecture i386? | 22:38 |
| UncleGus | indeed | 22:38 |
| UncleGus | then apt-get update | 22:38 |
| UncleGus | then apt-get install wine:i386 | 22:38 |
| olly_ | so that's enabled what's know as "multiarch" | 22:40 |
| UncleGus | sweet | 22:40 |
| olly_ | which is a fairly recent change which allows installing 32 and 64 bit versions of packages on the same machine | 22:40 |
| UncleGus | so it can run 32 bit and 64 bit | 22:41 |
| olly_ | yes, but packages need fixing to support it and not all have been | 22:41 |
| olly_ | but most of the ones people really commonly want probably have been | 22:41 |
| UncleGus | now I'm supposed to run this script but I'm getting a permission error, even when using sudo | 22:42 |
| UncleGus | okay, another question then | 22:48 |
| UncleGus | I'm trying to switch user or something | 22:48 |
| UncleGus | su - username | 22:48 |
| UncleGus | but it's asking me for a password when I never gave the user one | 22:48 |
| UncleGus | is there some kind of default password? | 22:48 |
| UncleGus | or is there some way I can change a user's password | 22:51 |
| olly_ | you can probably do: sudo su - username | 22:53 |
| UncleGus | lolyep | 22:53 |
| olly_ | or to set/change a password: sudo passwd username | 22:53 |

| UncleGus | when you run xvfb, are you supposed to wait for the command prompt to reappear or what? | 23:11 |
| olly_ | you probably want to use xvfb-run | 23:15 |
