Or some other package difference.> Pongolo and Austin, Positive, the only difference is KDE versus Gnome. Both use exactly thesame repository and are in essence exactly the same distribution,including exactly the same versions of packages; the only difference isthat for Kubuntu KDE is initially installed (as a dependency ofkubuntu-desktop), and Ubuntu has Gnome by default (as a dependency ofubuntu-desktop). Yet that doesn't explain why Wine would be having problems on allKubuntu installations, and not on all Ubuntu installations. I'm thinkingit's either a problem in KDE specifically - which I have doubts about -or you *think* the difference is between Ubuntu and Kubuntu while it'snot; when I hear this story I think chances are it worked in your VMbecause that was a fresh install or it had different drivers; and itdidn't work on your friends Kubuntu install because it either had thesame or similar drivers, or it wasn't a fresh install either. File bugs for the problems you are having (what are the errors? etc),then wait until they are solved accordingly - and only keep in mind thatit *could* be ubuntu/kubuntu-related. If you have some time and somefree disk space, please try installing a fresh Ubuntu on there and seeif it works; if it does, try installing a fresh Kubuntu and see if itworks then. That's the only way to be sure, but I seriously doubt thathas to do with your problems.
