What command failed? Please post the contents of the terminal here (just select it, CTRL+SHIFT+C and then CTRL+V here). Running WoW over the terminal means running it from a console,, that's it...this allows you to get logs of what happens which might be useful when something isn't working. Check the AppDB page for WoW and go find yourself some Ubuntu/Linux-noob tutorials about basic bash/shell/terminal/console commands, you'll always need them even with a good distro as Ubuntu (I personally use Ubuntu and have never had any problems with Wine-integration). Wine is just....a complex application, so you can run it from the command line. It is used to run Windows binaries/applications, so you can run any app with the command: Code: wine <app> without '<' and '>'. I think I know why Ubuntu reported that failure you told us about. To go past around it, open the CD/DVD-ROM (DO NOT execute AutoRun, that's what screwed you) and find a file with a name similar to setup.exe, wowsetup.exe or autorun.exe. After that, double-click it and it should start the installer. Cheers, Jorl17
