Alright, I'm going to just post a few lines you can paste in the console (and then explain them): Code: sudo apt-get remove wine Let's remove the old Wine first, just to be sure. Code: sudo add-apt-key ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa Adds the PPA (personal package archive) of the guy in charge of providing you with the latest Wine for Ubuntu. This step only has to be done once, ever. Code: sudo apt-get update Update the repository (this is like clicking "reload" in Synaptic), in other words, recheck all package archives for new packages, including the one you just added. Code: sudo apt-get install wine1.2 Install new Wine. This is like selecting the package wine1.2 in Synaptic and then clicking "apply". That should be it. After this all latest versions of Wine would get in automatically through the update manager.
