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)[email protected]:~$ 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.

I have tried that. It comes up with this error:
(precise)[email protected]:~$ sudo apt-get install wine

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 candidate
It said

on both upgrades, and still no luck with the installing of wine.. Threw the same error as before.
Aww, that must be it. Thanks for the response.
You may want to try using QEMU in combination with Wine.
