I tried to install Wine. I followed the all the things from Wine website. It showing some error. The error screenshot is attached below. I tried many things but none worked. I am using Kubuntu 18.04. Thanks in advance. This is the error message I got.

There is a problem with wine not showing in the menu on 18.04 - But it will still install and can be run from a terminal. install from terminal with this command sudo apt install wine-stable wine32 Then navigate to the folder where your .exe file is located and install the program with this command wine setup.exe exchanging setup.exe with the actually name of the file.

after that if you need to configure the install you can type winecfg and bring up the wine configuration tool.

I'm sure this will all get fixed eventually - until then you can use the terminal or perhaps install playonlinux for a nice gui. Good Luck.

What I did to install it was remove the hq from the command, sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-stable

It installed.
