[edit] Introduction

With the Asus Eee PC apparently running Xandros, a number of users are trying to install wine. Reports are that it can be installed. It is probably best to install a prebuilt package if you are new to linux.

[edit] using dpkg

sudo dpkg --purge wine

if [this] says wine is not installed just follow these instructions. it might be wise to print them out too...

the following works for the 701 and also for the 901!

To install wine 1.0

open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) and type:

sudo kwrite /etc/apt/preferences

[press enter] copy and paste this to the file:

Package: *
Pin: origin updates.xepc.org
Pin-Priority: 935

Save and exit kWrite

in a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) type:

sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

[press enter] copy and paste this line to sources.list:

deb http://updates.xepc.org/ p701 main

Save and exit kWrite. Staying in terminal type:

sudo apt-get update

[press enter] Staying in terminal type:

apt-cache policy wine

[press enter]

if the return is Candidate: 1.0.0-1+eeepc2 from xepc then all is good! Staying in terminal type:

sudo apt-get install wine [press enter]

when installed, from terminal type:

winecfg

[which] opens the settings for wine

wine user Aug 08 a user reporte: dafter sudo apt-get update, i get this at the end:

W: GPG error: http://updates.xepc.org p701 Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 36E9E3DE1ACBEB0D W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Dimesio: It looks like the instructions are missing a step--adding the GPG key. I found some instructions for that here: http://www.xepc.org/en/2008/01/26/how-to-add-xepc-repo/34/ (scroll down to the last screenshot; the instructions for the GPG key are right below it).

User said: How are you supposed to download the file? When I click the link to download it it just shows me the text like this:

BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) [...snip]

END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

So what do I do with that?

Save it anywhere you like, just cd to that directory before executing the command to add it.

wine user Aug 08: so when i do apt-cache policy wine, it says Installed (none). help?

K4Z00: you can safely ignore that error message apt-cache policy will say none installed unless you have previously tried WINE it is double check to make sure the correct repo is being used (ie that the previous instructions were followed) follow the instructions through it is sudo apt-get install wine that does the install having checked you are about to install the correct version
