Hi Guys,

I have been trying to install wine 1.9.14 but failing this is what I get, I have removed wine 1.6.2:-

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package wine-staging

The way I have tried amongst others is to :-

Code: Select all: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging $ sudo apt-get install winehq-staging

Would appreciate anybodies help with this.

I have installed play on linux with has wine version 1.9.14 but when I am play world of warcraft the graphics card is not being used to it full potential.

Regards

Russ

Run this in all at once, Then try to install again.. I have 4.2.4 installed and had no issues..

Code: Select all: sudo apt-fast update || true && sudo apt-fast -y upgrade && sudo apt-fast -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-fast -y install -f && sudo apt -y autoremove && sudo apt-get -y autoclean && sudo apt-get -y clean

If that's not working for you, try installing the PlayOnLinux frontend for wine (using Synaptic Package Manager); it will let you have multiple versions of wine and manage virtual drives for each program separately where necessary.
