Question about terminal (I guess?)

Absolutely no need to apologise. We're all in different time zones with a wide variety of availability.

Right, I think we're going to install gedit. It's easier to use for newbies (and me!) than nano.

So:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gedit

Okay gedit is installed.

hydrurga · 07-18-2018, 01:39 PM

Ok. Let's create and populate that software sources list file:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list

adding the line:

Code:

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ jessie main

Then save and quit gedit.

Okay and then I assume I can continue downloading wine?

No, not quite yet. Housekeeping time. Let's check that you don't still have that nano save file:

Code:

ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d

It comes out with

Code:

total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 14:44
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 17 16:43
-rw------- 1 root root  59 Jul 18 14:44 wine.lis
-rw------- 1 root root  62 Jul 17 22:08 wine.lis

You're getting some truncation on that output (2 files with the same name?).

Enerbite · 07-18-2018, 01:59 PM

So would one of them be the nano file?

hydrurga · 07-18-2018, 02:03 PM

Yes. It would be useful though for you to find out why you got truncation on that output as it may hamper your ability to get good support in the future. Have you tried expanding your terminal window? Once you've got it sorted out, repaste the output here and we'll carry on.
