Debian Configuration :: Latest Wine Repo - Where To Get The Latest Unstable Automatically
Nov 29, 2010
The latest in experimental is 1.1... the stable by upstream is 1.2 and the latest unstable is 1.3. So is there a repository where I can get the latest unstable automatically?
while trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at [URL] like this :
dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't) After some googling I tried this :
This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

I don't know if it's just my system, but after applying the latest Wine update, the mouse cursor in Wine windows is now purple/magenta/pink, whatever. Not a big problem, just annoying. I've looked through the various config files in ~home and /usr/share/wine, and can't find any parameter that might even remotely address this.
I'm trying to install the latest version of Clamav (0.95.3), but I'm getting the following error messages in Synaptic after adding the recommended repository to my sources:
Got this while installing the kernel development tools on my Squeeze system being used as a router/firewall. Setting up update-inetd (4.36) ... Setting up cvs (1:1.12.13-12) ...

Is that an issue that I need to address prior to building the latest kernel (2.6.33.4)?
For quite a long time now, I haven't even needed to re-install video drivers most of the time. However, ever since version 2.6.36-0.dmz.4, they haven't been. I booted my system after installing that kernel, re-installed the video drivers, and when that didn't work, completely removed them and re-installed them, and it still didn't work. Well, I was told that the installation was successful but even after restarting it appeared that they weren't working. I installed 2.6.36-0.dmz.5 today and the same problem persists. I tried an older kernel version (2.6.36-4 something) and they worked fine.
This may sound ridiculous, but after installing Debian 5 (from CD 1) in my laptop, ASUS UL80VT, it fails to detect the Ethernet device. The device is "Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Ethernet Controller". I guess the problem comes with the old kernel of version 5. I was intending to compile the latest kernel anyway. But the problem is is there any heads up i need to download the kernel and trying to compile it? Is there anyone who uses Debian on UL80VT. If there is, does it works okay?In short I want to compile the latest kernel, hoping it will fix the Ethernet device. There are installers available with the latest kernel. But I want to do it on my own.
how to check what my latest installed drivers are and how to install the latest? If I search for Nvidia in YaST then noting comes up. I beleive the latest drivers from Nvidia are 195.xxx
If I go to the website and download the ISO file is it the exact same one that was released in April or will it contain the latest patches (e.g. security fixes, etc) that have been release since then? If it doesn't I suppose I'll have to download the entire ISO file, install the OS, and then have another couple hundred MB to download which is not what I'd prefer.
I am using wine for a couple of programs, such as spotify and winscp. These used to work great, untill the latest wine update last week. Suddenly, the fonts are scrambled and all wine programs became unusable. I tried to reinstall my programs and to reinstall wine, but to no avail. Here's a screenshot of spotify and wordpad: My installed wine version is 1.2.0-1.fc12 on Fedora Core 12.
I tried to install the latest version of itunes with wine, which did not work. Now Itunes and friends (quicktime etc) wont uninstall. get rid of this malarkey? how to get itunes to run properly..
I've recently been trying to restore a Debian installation back to it's previous state after a serious operation system crash. Efforts are largely going well however I've run into problems since reinstalling Wine. Previously I could execute a Windows executable by simply entering ./executable.exe in the bash shell but this no longer seems to work as now I have to include the "wine" command in front of the executable. how to configure Debian to automatically use Wine to execute using the ./executable.exe format?
Debian squeeze (weekly build) with latest kernel "2.6.32-5-686"

the best repo. of them all which includes all the software needed.?ans is there any repo which allow latest softwares in centos like fedora.????cause i don't want to install all repos.in centos 5.5.
Since an Aptitude upgrade to my Debian Squeeze operating system (using video driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24) some weeks ago, which installed linux kernel 2.6-32-5-686, grub has been giving me two boot options (in addition to MS Windows). I expect that this is quite normal so far ...
However, if I try to boot using this new kernel, rather than kernel 2.6-32-3-686, I can only get the command line interface. Everything seems to work after boot with the new kernel, except (although the system seems to load kdm successfully) I cannot start X. Booting with the old kernel still takes me to the desktop as normal (I've set KDE to automatically bypass kdm, as I'm the only user of this standalone PC), and because of this I've been slow to address the issue with kernel 2.6-32-5-686, but since the problem doesn't seem to be going away with more recent upgrades, I suppose a request to the forum is the only way to go:
So, is the problem I'm having the same as was addressed in this thread? If not, would I only need to reinstall the same NVIDIA video driver so that it recognises the new kernel? If not, would installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35 solve the problem, and would I have to deinstall the old video driver first? Finally, if and when I solve the problem, can I safely deinstall the old 2.6-32-3-68 kernel?
I have Debian lenny, with kde installed. The VLC version available for lenny is an old one, which has some annoying bugs. If I compile the latest version's source code to a .deb package, will it be able to work normally?If yes, can somebody guide me through the process of building a .deb package from source?
I have debian sid installed, but when run the command aptitude dist-ugrade there is 202 packages nearly all the kde desktop and when run the safe-upgrade there is every day some upgrades, so want to use the latest stable debian, i have look on the debian dists and there is debian 6.0, sid, squeeze, stable and wheezy. what is the name of latest stable debian dist?
This morning gkrellm updated from 2.3.4-1 to 2.3.5-2 and now the CPU temperatures aren't displayed. I've rerun sensors-detect and restarted module-init-tools, but the temperatures still don't display. If I run sensors from a terminal, the CPU core temperatures are displayed correctly. Has anyone else seen this?
The Debian site says latest netinst images have i686 available. I only see i386, so does debian offer the i686 option during net install? Perhaps I won't see a difference between i386 and i686. 1.00 Ghz Pentium M on IBM thinkpad X40 with intel integrated graphics card
I'm on Debian stable, I want to know if I could continue on Debian stable but install the latest version of KDE (5.6.1) without moving to testing or unstable. I want to install KDE latest (5.6.1) without having to have all of my other installs to be potentially unstable.
I've got a problem when i try apt-get update I get the following in the report: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dist...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dist...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found R
I installed Debian Squeeze with no issues. I went to install latest Nvidia driver as done previously with Lenny. Used instructions that worked on lenny from "the trooper" [url]
Downloaded th latest driver for my GeForce 7300 GS vidio card, driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
Used "method # 2 as described in HOW TO,as it worked perfectly in the past on Lenny. Only syntax I changed was instead of gdm I typed gdm3 as it appears that is the new name for gnome in Squeeze.
Did as folows:
Now the trouble showed up, Unfortunatly I can only go off my memory. A question was asked stating that something did not match, it needed a 3 and the driver had a 4 version or somethng of this sort. then it asked if I new what I was doing (and I lied) and selected yes. And whammo, it didn't work. (This question was asked when i did in Lenny and it is working perfectly still on that system). I now can not boot to GUI, I notice when system boots it starts in "S" mode although I select normal boot from grub2.
Not too bad if I got to reinstall as little is on the system. I just want to know what I am missing on the instalation deal or should I be going about this difrently with Squeeze.
