xu-help50wHi there guys! I'm having a hard time installing Discord on Linux. When I run the executable, Wine shows an error copying from from Z:\ to C:\ drive. Has anyone encountered this issue before?04:02
AndrioCan't you run it natively?04:05
diogenes_xu-help50w, no need to install it, you can use it in your browser.04:07
xu-help50wYou're absolutely right diogenes_, and there is a native client, but...04:08
xu-help50wDiscord Games only work on the Windows client.04:09
xu-help50wAnd this game I want to play is only available through Discord(I assume they have some kind of exclusivity contract or so).04:10
Andrioah...04:10
xu-help50wUh... it's complicated.04:12
diogenes_xu-help50w, maybe it's some user agent tryckery because they do this kind of crap not supporting the web cam on firefox unless you change the UA and make it think it's google chrome.04:12
xu-help50wI hoped it was just that, but it doesn't work on the browser. It specifically tells you to use the "PC app", and on the native client you get:04:14
xu-help50wUnavailable for Linux04:14
xu-help50w"Discord does not yet support Linux for games. You can still purchase it and play on supported operating systems.04:15
diogenes_xu-help50w, what wine version?04:15
xu-help50wSo I hoped that by installing the Windows client I could trick it.04:15
xu-help50wHmm, le'me check.04:15
xu-help50wWine 3.004:17
diogenes_xu-help50w, that's a really old version, try 4.0.04:19
xu-help50wAh, alright. I'll check it out.04:19
xu-help50wUh.. I'm getting broken packages. I guess I'll have to remove everything and retry again.04:29
diogenes_xu-help50w, or use playonlinux, there should be snapshots.04:30
xu-help50wI tried it as well, but it kept installing like forever.04:31
xu-help50wAh, broken packages. How does one fix that? I've tried this, but to no avail: https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-fix-broken-packages-on-ubuntu-16-04-and-debian-9/04:37
diogenes_xu-help50w, https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-wine-on-ubuntu04:43
xu-help50wThanks! Btw, do I need the 32 bit version as well?04:45
xu-help50wI'm not planning on running any 32bit application for now.04:45
diogenes_absolutely 32 is required.04:45
xu-help50wAight.04:45
xu-help50wI managed to install the 64 bit version, but it didn't change anything with the 32 bit.04:47
xu-help50wWhen I do wine --version it shows: wine: '/home/username/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver.04:47
diogenes_xu-help50w, it means you've only installed 32bit wine.04:49
xu-help50wwine64 is already the newest version (3.0-1ubuntu1).04:50
xu-help50wI feel pretty confused.04:50
diogenes_try to remove /home/username/.wine04:51
xu-help50wDone.04:54
diogenes_now wine --version should not give you the error.04:55
xu-help50wRight! It is on 3.604:57
diogenes_still no 4.0.04:57
xu-help50wYes, that's the strange part.04:58
xu-help50wAh drat. I need to get it from the WineHQ repo.04:58
diogenes_try also asking in #winehq or even compile it.04:59
diogenes_yes winehq repo.04:59
xu-help50wAh, this is the issue I was having: The following packages have unmet dependencies: winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic)E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.andre@Latitude:~$05:02
diogenes_xu-help50w, maybe get xubuntu 19.10, afaik it has 4.0.05:04
diogenes_!info wine05:04
ubottuPackage wine does not exist in bionic05:04
xu-help50wIn order to install 19.10, do I need to wipe the old install?05:05
diogenes_you can upgrade but i prefer fresh install.05:06
diogenes_!upgrade05:06
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade05:06
xu-help50wAight, thanks!05:07

zaphodb777It's been 2 hours, not sure if it has scrolled off any screen, so I will ask again...(Because I really want to get on the 20.04 train now!)22:57

Unit193zaphodb777: At this point there shouldn't be any changes that would end up making the final result different.  There technically could be, but yeah as long as you upgrade you should be fine.22:58
zaphodb777Cool! And thanks!23:08
