Neither does trying to load the game through PlayOnLinux. I am an absoloute Ubuntu Noob also.    Any help would be much appreciated. (Preferable Patch 5.4 support)

Just recently upgraded to 13.04 and am having trouble running TF2 via Steam. Whenever I start Steam I get a dialog saying:     OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.   Every time I go to launch TF2 I get a dialog saying:     Could not find required OpenGL entry pint 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.   I tried updating my Nvidia drivers, hoping that would solve this issue but alas, it did not. I believe this issue is related to a fix I used to get Skype working with 13.04, specifically . Just a heads up I'm using GNOME Shell 3.8.  Let me know if you need anymore information about my system.

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and am trying to figure a way to play Windows games on Linux. I've read you need to use Wine, and I'm just wondering how exactly I go about doing this correctly. I've read a lot of conflicting information.

I have tried playing GTA IV on PoL and Wine without luck. It works with every other game I have tried, including World of Tanks, Portal, Portal 2, Half-Life, BioShock, World of Warcraft,  Garry's mod and more. In my tests I installed the game and then applied the 1.0.7.0 patch. Now I cannot get it to boot, always crashes with the only error message being the playonlinux one.  I also tried with Wine, to no avail. Whole install works fine, then will not launch from the desktop shortcut or the /home/.wine/drive_c/program files(x86)/rockstar games/launchgtaiv.exe  It actually almost worked with update 3, but couldn't start the game or even change screen resolution. Changing wine version to the one recommended in the wine directory caused an error saying GTA IV needs a sound card to run. Changing sound driver is not an option because it says that there are none, but only with anything but wine ver. 1.3.23  My Specs:  CPU - AMD A10-6800K RAM - 4GB GPU -  9600GT (2007 version) (512MB DDR3) (Proprietary Drivers) HDD -  750GB hybrid drive

I have followed all the instructions on .  In particular, I have run the following commands: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'   The first three of the above seemed to work fine.  However, the last command gives me the following error: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.  I'm running Lubuntu 18.04.3 on a USB live stick.  (However, if I remember correctly, a couple days ago I got the exact same error on a normal hard disk Lubuntu 18.04.3 installation.) I've read that a lot of people get similar errors.  Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions online that worked. Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks! EDIT:  Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone.  I'll try them out later today. In the mean time, here's something I don't understand.  Ubuntu 18.04 has been around for almost two years now.  In all that time, surely somebody has successfully installed wine, right?  What did they do to get it working?

I'm on a new computer and I haven't downloaded Data Loader in years but now, I'm having all kinds if issues.  So apparently, I have to download Zulu JDK 11 (msi) first, Then download and unzip Data Loaded and install. Which opens a command prompt... After I follow all of the command prompt steps, then I get an error.  Am I supposed to install Java too? And if so, do I download Java or Zulu first?  Apparently a lot of people are having this same problem with no resolve.  Any help would be much appreciated.

As the video showed (at 2:44,) I clicked on Run a .exe file in this virtual drive then I clicked on osu!install.exe and then I get this message:    Can you tell me how to install this?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and PlayOnLinux 4.2.2. I managed to get League of Legends almost running perfectly, there are only two problems. The first is that the shop to buy things with IP/RP is just a black screen. Here is a screenshot:    The second problem is that in the game, during the match, some menus are messed up, as if they were in a different resolution from the game's current resolution. For example, the item shop opens a normal window, but this window's contents are all over the screen. Here is a screenshoot:    All the rest is working fine, I even get high FPS. I installed LoL via PlayOnLinux and then I applied TuxLoL patch. I have an Optimus Notebook, Dell Inspiron 14R 5421, it has an Intel integrated video card and Nvidia GeForce 730M dedicated card, which are properly handled by Bumblebee.  How do I fix these two problems? Could somebody help me, please?

Can wine as a whole or the windows applications installed via wine pose some kind of risk to an Ubuntu installation? This question arose in my mind when I read this answer to my earlier question :     Try installing PlayonLinux from   playonlinux.org and install IE via   PlayonLinux. and use IE only for those   pesky sites :) - Received 1 downvote      And enjoying the risks of IE? No   thanks - This comment received 2   upvotes   I believe this PlayOnLinux works as a frontend to wine making installing tasks easier.  In totality, I want to know if it is safe to install Internet connecting applications like IE via Wine? Is there any remote possibility of being subject to more online attacks and virus threats this route. I plan to use IE only for browsing websites not accessible with other browsers, like the one in earlier question.

So, I just built my PC today, and am only using Ubuntu until I get Windows installed (sorry, guys!) But when I go to click on any .exe file, nothing happens.  It just sits there.  No error message, nothing.  I've seen other people with similar problems, but they all get an error message.  But not me... Whats going on?  How do I fix this?  Help?

I'm able to locate stuff with the dash home then drag it down to the launcher bar on the left of the desktop, but what if the application installed via Wine isn't found via the dash search? I've right clicked on the application in the .wine directory and found no options to create a launcher either.

I got black screen like said in this post :   Friend's list, Library, everything show me a black screen.  The answer in the link i posted can't work anymore : a part of this answer is to put Windows Version : Windows XP in wineconfig  As of now, steam can't be launched with Windows XP. So I have to put Windows 7 or 10, and the "-no-cef-sandbox"  argument seems to be useless alone.  I can add that i also tried to put d3d11 in Native Windows without success. Someone could help ?

I usually use PlayOnLinux to manage my WINE versions via the interface, however, I would like to change my "system" WINE version (the version that loads when I double-click a file) so that I can just double-click on files to run them in the latest version of WINE even if they're the same "wineprefix". I have read the answer to  but the versions in that repository only go up to version 1.8.   I would like the ability to make my system version of WINE 2.3 and keep it updated to the latest version automatically, so I don't want to manually compile or download packages all the time.  Also, if possible, I would like my system version to be a 32-bit one, and to instead use PlayOnLinux if I need a 64-bit wineprefix.  I am running Xubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit.  EDIT: I thought I'd include a list of commands to wipe &amp; update Wine (EDIT 2: updated for 18.04, EDIT 3: Updated again for Ubuntu 18.04 in 2019):  # Remove old Wine rm -Rf ~/.wine sudo apt purge -y wine*  # Add key and repo sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo add-apt-repository -y 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'  sudo add-apt-repository -y 'ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport'  rm -f winehq.key  # Install sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade -y sudo apt install -y winehq-devel playonlinux  # This is optional, but some programs need it. sudo sed -i -e 's/scope = 1/scope = 0/g' /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf   # Did it work? wine --version   Thanks to everyone who answered. This doesn't include changing Winearch, see below for that.
