Installing Wine
Hi,
I'm installing Wine with the command line on Mint 13 Maya Mate.
Several files downloaded then a window opened with the title “Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer” and the END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE.
At the end of the window there's an <OK> but whatever I try I cannot close it.
Any suggestion please?
Thanks.

Re: Installing Wine
Hi Rayeta76,
When opening Synaptic Package Manager, I get the following message:
“Unable to get exclusive lock.
This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.”
I closed the terminal, so I don't know what else is running.
The Software Manager hasn't been working for ages.
Is there a way to check with the command line which applications are running or what's wrong with Synaptic?

1º Step: Reboot your system
2º Step: Open terminal
3º Step: clear broken packages
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get -f install
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg –configure -a
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
If after working commands no wonk the synaptic, please paste your sources.list, for read use this command:
Code: Select all
sudo pluma /etc/apt/sources.list

Re: Installing Wine
Hi Rayeta76,
I'm afraid I've messed up things even further: I followed both your instructions and those at http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/482 to fix packages with aptitude. Then I got the Microsoft Windows licence agreement message coming out again. Only afterwards I read that “please note that it is bad practice to use aptitude and apt-get interchangeably, as they record separately the changes made by a user.” It still says there are many broken packages but I don't seem to be able to fix them.
