Here is a guide to install PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu 12.04.
PlayOnLinux is a piece of software which allows you to easily install and use numerous games and apps designed to run with Microsoft® Windows®. Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system. PlayOnLinux brings a cost-free, accessible and efficient solution to this problem. Read more about PlayOnLinux.
To install PlayOnLinux open a terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy+paste the following lines:
wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_oneiric.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux
When PlayOnLinux is installed you can close the terminal window and to start PlayOnLinux press the SuperKey and type: playonlinux
When I enter the second line of code it says network unreachable, HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Which network can’t be reached? Maybe you have some problems in your own network? The sudo apt-get update line is for updating your sources list and to check for updates …
when i copy and paste the 3rd part (sudo apt-get update) at the end of it is says
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
what should i do?
This means that another process is running on the background, you can try the following steps:
If it doesn’t fix the problem try a reboot… good luck and let me know if it worked!!
When i executed the first command, it generated an error saying, “gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
Please help me. Thanks.
