Question: How do I install Wine in Trisquel 11?
I made a fresh install of Trisquel today, but have been struggling to get Wine working. Anyone else had difficulty?
Steps Taken:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I had similiar problem on Debian and I am shifting to Trisquel just now.
First thing I am going to try is simply - sudo apt get wine
If that won't work, what I am going to try (later this week) is to install it from source via tutorial
https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/8.0/
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
This architecture is not supported in Trisquel 11.
But isn't wine dependent on 32-bit libraries for running 32-bit programs from Windows?
I've had numerous issues with installing Wine on various Ubuntu and Debian based distros over the years. To the point where if I need Wine for a system then I install a distro that has it in it's repos such as Garuda or Solus. It sucks but it is what it is.

1. Install Flatpak: https://www.flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu
2. Install Wine:
flatpak install org.winehq.Wine
3. Profit!
Honestly... that is great solution :D
I too am having this problem and the flatpak option was just confusing...
Has anyone resolved this the traditional way?
What I am understanding is that Wine is a no go because of the i386 support being dropped?
Has the mainline Ubunutu dropped support for i386? If so, why can wine be installed there?
Any help would be appreciated.
So I kinda got my answer here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/wine-not-working-after-system-upgrade-90-100-cannot-re-install
I wonder what came of that meeting...
At some point in the early development of aramo it was theoretically possible to install, later on some changes were added that might have broken things later.
Now that this is pointed out, it's clear those changes need to be fixed
You might like to open an issue so we can keep track of the actions and state of the issue so that it should prevent future related issues.
Regards.
From last week meeting there are several updates on the i386 libraries that are being pulled from upstream, you should be able to have all the required packages to match the upstream Ubuntu behavior.
Meaning it should work, still while testing I had to use -o DPkg::options::="--force-overwrite" along apt as you'll have packages installed from both archs (amd64/i386), so you might like to test on a VM or LiveISO environment.
Regards
Tested it live and it's broke so far. Can't even install qemy/kvm. But I did fiddle with the distro, I'll try a clean setup and post results afterwards to exclude my own tampering later.
Hello!,
Could you define what are you trying to install?
What version of Trisquel are you running?
The previos statement goes for Trisquel 11.0, Aramo.
Regards.
Hello o/
>Could you define what are you trying to install?
Initially it was wine, but I had issue and got working on something else.
Then I wanted to install "qemu virt-manager" but it gave me "apt --fix-broken install" and then that gives me "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
Picture related.
Even trying to do an upgrade ask me to fix the broken install.
>What version of Trisquel are you running?
According to screenfetch "Trisquel 11.0 aramo".
Ask me anything if needed by the way, I don't know how I can help.
I would say that is a bad idea to mix arch installations without a really good reason.
Seems like you already have the same package for other arch trying to write a file that already exists from the previous arch, thus it fails.
Maybe you'll like to test,
sudo apt install -f -o DPkg::options::="--force-overwrite"
I think it should resolve the issue you present.
>I would say that is a bad idea to mix arch installations without a really good reason.
I know I'm fiddling exploring to my own risks ;_;
>I think it should resolve the issue you present.
Thank you my friend it worked.
After solving the issue I update my kernel and wanted to try to install wine and this is what I get now.
By curiosity I used again the command you shared me and it force installed.
Wine works partially 16bit sound doesn't work, can't use some fonts but it's a good step in the right direction so far :)
Again thank you ;)
I would recommend to avoid using third party repositories as much as possible as they can easily introduce non-free bits or complete chunks.
The effort to solve the i386 dependencies is mainly to keep the current trisquel release as complete as possible on regard of the amount of packages it provides in comparison with upstream, non-free packages of course are off the table.
I can confirm that just as ubuntu, trisquel has all the i386 packages available for this specific use case.
Like I said before adding 2 arches is not the best idea, and using force-overwrite might be necessary when installing the same package from another arch.
Regards.
>I would recommend to avoid using third party repositories as much as possible as they can easily introduce non-free bits or complete chunks.
I agree. Like said I did fiddle, tested went back and forth, lost track etc... that's ok that's how I learn.
Currently I just have minestest's and libreoffice's ppa and jxself linux-libre kernel repo.

Thanks, I'll do a clean install later.
Again thank you for your help ;)
