Problem trying to download from WineHQ

[citfta]

Following the excellent tutorial from Michel I was able to install PicaSim on Pop! Os and it works great. Very smooth and no lag whatsoever. So I thought if it will work on this machine on Pop! Os then it should work fine on Zorin 16 on this same machine. However after I deleted Wine from the software store and tried to reinstall it using the command line Michel gave I get the following error:

As you can see it says I can't download from that repository securely. So I am at a loss as to what to do to fix that. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Did you use everything in the guide ? Step 3-5 are needed.

@Michel

Installing the latest Wine build

1. Remove the current one in Zorin OS 16, to do so go to the software store search for wine and remove it.
2. We are now going to install the latest stable Wine build in Zorin.
3. In terminal write

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

4. In terminal write

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

5. In terminal write

sudo apt-key add winehq.key

6. In terminal write

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'

7. In terminal write

sudo apt update

8. In terminal write

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Hi Michel. Thanks for your quick response. Yes I followed line by line your tutorial. In your tutorial this line ' sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' has a 3 between ubuntu/ and focal main. And when I copied and pasted from your tutorial to the terminal it picked up the 3. And since I don't see the 3 in your post I tried again and here is what I got.

If you look at the screenshot you can see that when I did the command again I did it from your post that doesn't have the 3 in the command line. Yet I still got an error about the 3. Did it pick that up from the before command?
Thanks again for your help.

Did you Remove the previously added repository with the 3 on it?

@citfta

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' has a 3 between ubuntu/ and focal main.

Thats how many times a user clicked on the link . Remove that repo and copy it from here

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Use the 20.04 one

How do I remove the one with the 3 on it?

[Aravisian]

Open Software & Updates from the app menu. Select the "Other Software" tab. Review the list until you find the wine repo- select it by clicking on it. Then click remove at the bottom.

[Michel]

sudo add-apt-repository --remove 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ 3 focal main'

After its removed just use the same command without the 3 to install

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ 3 focal main'

@Aravisian the forum needs to change that those hits on a link.

@Aravisian the forum needs to change that those hits on a link.

Use the markdown language. You can use the </> icon on the reply toolbar, too:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'

I will fix my guide tommorow. So users wont have this issue anymore.

[citfta]

I believe that did it. Here is the screenshot after removing the 3 repo and copying the link from winehq.

Does everything look right now? It does to me. LOL

Yep looks good

Great! thanks so much to you and Aravisian for your help. I have another problem but it is not related to this so will start another thread if I don't find the answer by searching for it on this forum.

[Michel]

Which problem ?

[Aravisian]

@Michel

@Aravisian, i cant edit my own post

Done.

[Aravisian]

Also, please do start a new thread on the Printer issue.
Even I got confused for a moment and panicked thinking you were trying to use WINE for the Printer driver for a moment, there.

@Michel

Thank you

The forum software kept the Parsed Embedded link the first try...
Michel... I am not politely asking anymore.
Open your PM's.
