Downloading Wine on Ubuntu(Crouton) || Samsung Chromebook
Let me start off by saying, I am very sorry if this is in the wrong place on the forums. I am VERY new to linux. I have no clue what I am doing, and it may as well be a miracle that I got ubuntu installed on my chromebook in the first place.
That being said, I like linux so far. Seems very lightweight, quick, and enjoyable.
Now, my issue. I have been trying to get Wine onto my chromebook as I would like to get programs like hearthstone, and other games to play. However, I encounter issues when trying to install Wine.
I have tried to add it via sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
then sudo apt-get update, and finally sudo apt-get install wine1.7 ( i have also tried wine1.6)
The error i get is:
(precise)haland@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package wine1.7
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'wine1.7'
I have heard that you don't get as many 'quality of life' packages when installing ubuntu through crouton. If this is the case, I need to know what packages to get...
Again, sorry if this is in the wrong place... Any help would be a godsend, and I thank anyone that takes time out of their day. If I have not provided enough information, please tell me.. and I will try and supply more. Thank you, Haland.

Don't specify the version number. Just do
sudo apt-get install wine

I have tried that. It comes up with this error:

Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'wine' has no installation candidate0 -
Have you tried, first, doing:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
thensudo apt-get install wine

Which model of Samsung Chromebook have you got?WINE does not and will not work on the ARM Chromebook, as Windows executables are i386/x64, and WINE runs them directly (it is not an emulator). It works fine on x86-based Chromebooks using the version in the repositories.0

Aww, that must be it. Thanks for the response.0 -
You may want to try using QEMU in combination with Wine.
