How to Install Wine on kubuntu
Greetings,
Now let's move on with installing Wine. With a little luck it appears there is a new version, so we will use Wine 0.9.44 released on Aug 24, 2007. The following information is for kubuntu Linux, however, it maybe similar for other version of Linux.
Oh, we use Wine to run Windows based programs in Linux. The main purpose of this program, in this case, is to run Ultima Online client.
Adding the WineHQ APT Repository:
First, open a terminal window (DOS prompt if your familiar with Microsoft) by clicking "K" (or START icon for you Windows players). Choose SYSTEM, then Konsole. Add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following:
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Next, add the repository to your system's list of APT sources by copy and pasting the following:
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Now, click "K" (or START icon for you Windows players). Choose SYSTEM, then Adapt Manager Manage Packages.
Enter your password.
Up top, click Fetch Updates...wait...wait.
Now, in the Search box, type "wine" and hit enter.
Choose the third one down, just wine and click Request Install.
Up top, click Apply Changes...wait...wait.
That should to it.
NOTE: Here is the website for Wine.
