Wine-stable from bullseye repo, adding the stable repo could break the entire testing system, why not just install Bullseye and forego the problems?

What would you answer on this question?

Depends. How are you using your computer, what you’re installing, who did you piss off, where do you live… etc etc… that question is only answered by many more questions the individual answers of, comprise a little piece of the puzzle.

seem interesting thanks for the link

hmm so you can’t import existing non-zfs storage pools into truenas
(like an intel raid 10).. I guess i’ll just stick with ubuntu desktop

im trying to install wine in debian testing, by following this article

sudo apt install –install-recommends winehq-stable
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 7.0.0.0~bullseye-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt install –install-recommends winehq-stable

this command throws that error above

i tried fixing broken install, uninstalled and reinstalled wine but nothing help

wine —version
wine-7.0 (Debian 7.0~repack-4)

but applications dont get launched

sudo ./launcher.sh

wine: ‘/root/.wine’ is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver.
./launcher.sh: line 8: wine64: command not found

Why is wine’s binary on /root instead of /usr/bin?

It’s why it’s way better to use whatever’s on Debian’s main repository instead of going into upstream and trying to download their versions.

Unless I’m mistaken, you anwered your own question pasting the output of the attempt to install.

I just followed random articles found on web

Yes, its testing. But is there a way to install stable build on testing distro?

It states clearly what’s needed. wine-stable from bullseye repo, adding the stable repo could break the entire testing system, why not just install Bullseye and forego the problems? put testing on a separate partition. If you’re not actively working to advance testing, why run it?

Just for latest software with a bit stability, if not i would have used arch based distros, but got used to debian. But i cant use debian stable, its good stable, but very old packages

Packages can be old and still working fine. They are being patched and thoroughly tested against CVEs and DSAs for security vulnerabilities and other issues. So there shouldn’t be any other concern unless you have specific requirements… are there any?

i usually tweak things so often, looks mostly. or encode films, edit em, graphic design. yes i can get latest app images but still kde de must be new bcs i change things so often and try new looks. that why im on testing

btw no issues, i dont need wine anymore, gonna use photopea from flatpak, its good except the ads, but hosty blocked all of em😉

sorry wife an I were out drinking at barn party last nite, didn’t even pull my phone out of the truck, just a cooler of beer and chairs.
wine installs and runs perfect on Bullseye. I don’t care for KDE myself, to much in it trying to be the latest and greatest, I want stability, long term usage when I set things up.

Sometimes stability win over new software

is there a way to make __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia the systemwide default so it’s always used?

why not install flatpak and bottles instead?

Im trying to run photoshop in linux, found a script on github, it worked well i. Stable. But its ok, now i use photopea app on linux (flatpak)

In 23 seconds, 187 people will suggest to migrate to GIMP to have your soul 100% libre

The you will reply “I can’t, too difficult”, and we will say “Uff…. Please my friend, try. See some nice tutorials, it’s really powerful.”

And then you will say “Noooo, well, ehm, uhm, it’s not for me, it’s for my friend”. So we will blast your friend 👍

No no, i use gimp. I love it, i needed ps, bcz i work with smartobjects, (mockups), gimp cant handle it, but photopea handles it so good

OK OK no problem. Just for curiosity, do you know the coordinates of the person who gived you these files?
[*bip bip blaster aborted – enter new coordinates*]
Yeah *cough* *cough* that’s just for my curiosity.

SmartObjects? What are those exactly. Can you give us an example? And out of curiosity… what does GIMP not handle properly?

Yeah, haven’t found ANYTHING GiMP won’t handle, even “properly”. I believe what they meant to say was Photopea handles it simpler lol
