I tried to install Wine in order to install some Windows software, like IDM 6.38, but I could not do it. What should I do to install it? In addition to this, when I try to update Ubuntu there is always an error which is related to apt-secure(8).

I heard Linux can get viruses through Wine,and I was curious if the viruses work only while Wine is running.  In other words, could I stop a virus from doing it's thing by just quitting Wine?

I am currently using 2 versions of steam, the Linux one for games compatible with Linux, and the windows version in wine for games which are not compatible. I was wondering if it is possible to get wine to work on games in Linux steam (the one not using wine) , so I do not have to switch back and forth between the two steams.

I develop a windows application and am curious whether it works via Wine. The application runs fine with Wine but I get no sound. In fact, I'm not sure whether my ubuntu installation has MIDI capabilities. The sound output settings shows "LFE on Separate Mono Output" one with "no amplifier" and another with "amplifier". They both function. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 as a client on virtualbox that runs on windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestion!  EDIT: virtual box hosted by windows 7, ubuntu running as a client in virtualbox.

I'm trying to install wine on Ubuntu Mate 18.04. Whenever I add the repository I get the error message      Blockquote E: The repository ' bionic Release' does not have a Release file.   N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.   N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.   It's given the same error message for a few other programs I've tried to install too. Is it because 18.04 is so new it doesn't officially support it yet?

The only reason I ever boot into Windows (7) is to use the popular video chat software ooVoo (). It's useless under Wine and there seems to be no way to run it in Ubuntu except for some proprietary tools. Does anyone have any information on some alternatives to running it with Wine?

I would like to install Medieval II : Total War under wine. Everything goes well until I am prompted to install the second dvd-rom to finish the install.   No matter what path I supply to the installer it says setup can't find a file on the specified path or disk. I've tried the options shown for D and Z drives, /dev/sr0, /media/myname etc.  I've also had similar problems with Medal of Honour.  Can anyone help?
