Try to use the method described here at winehq: go to System>Administration>Software Solutions. This menu item does not exist. So I tried using System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager. This is unable to locate the ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa. According to the WINEhq instructions, this was to be entered in the Software Solutions, so I tried to search for it in synaptic. I don't use Ubuntu, so I can't help with this. Ask on the Ubuntu forum. > > 3. I tried downloading the 1.2.2 stable version from wine. It downloaded; however, I don't know how to install it. A lot of files downloaded, and I have no clue how to install any of the files. I am a Linux dummy. I am used to windows .exe files for installing applications. I am just trying to get started learning about Linux. Can I use synaptic package manager to install the files that I downloaded? Sounds like you downloaded the source tarball. No, you can't use your package manager to install it; that's for building Wine yourself.
