Spotify in Linux

a13x06 · 02-21-2010, 01:45 PM

I have just changed over from Windows and want to use Spotify in Ubuntu bit to do this I think I need Wine. However in the Ubuntu Software centre it says that wine is "not available for your hardware architecture". What does this meen and is there a way around this?

Any help apreciated

Cheers!

What is particular about your hardware architecture?

You do need wine. Also, if you're running 64 bit Ubuntu I would recommend installing 32bit Wine.

Try this command from the terminal to see if it installs:

Code:

sudo apt-get install wine

if that doesn't work, whilst in there try this command and paste the output in your reply:

Code:

uname -a

Thanks for the help

I tried both and this is what I got:

Code:

alex@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
[sudo] password for alex:

Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package wine
alex@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Cheers,

Alex

OK, in that case try this also:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

then try

Code:

sudo apt-cache search wine

You obviously need to be connected to the internet in order for this to work.
