what do you mean by 3rd partie software there are three tabs:
Ubuntu software
othersoftware
Updates
Authentication

I meant Other software, it is the same as 3rd Party software.

ok then is there a program that can unistal wine because I know I installed that wrong Like they have in windows: Add remove programs?

Check this out: http://rondomstuffbyme.blogspot.com/2010/04/uninstalling-wine-in-ubuntu-video-for.html

Ubuntu instructions:

1. go to System > Administration > Software Sources
2. Click the Third-Party Software at the top
3. Click the Add button, and enter the code below

Code: [Select]

ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa4. Then click the close button and let it refresh if it wants. Close Software sources
5. Now open Synaptic Package Manager
6. Search wine and it should find it (wine) now.
7. Mark it for installation and click apply
It should now install.

After you install follow these instructions carefully.

First of all I'd like to say that you don't need PlayOnLinux to play your games. Wine is all that is needed, now that you have Wine all you really have to do is double-click the exe to install it.

However PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for Wine, but the advantage is that is adds in extra goodies to help your games run better & is easier to use for the beginner. So it is better for you to use PlayOnLinux.

There are several ways to install PlayOnLinux, I recommend this:
1. Open Terminal (located in Accessories menu)
2. paste

Code: [Select]

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_karmic.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list and hit enter. type your user password and hit enter again.


3. When it is finished enter following command and hit enter

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update

4. When the last step has completed use this command

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

PlayOnLinux should now be installed successfully. You could have also installed from the file on your flash drive. But the advantage with this way is that you'll also get the latest version updated.

ok yeah before instalation of playonlinux and after my games would not work. When i click the GTA vc exe file it loads archive manager and gives and error.I downloaded playonlinux from ubuntu software center. Anyway I will try again.
