Thanks for the info. I was looking everywhere on how to update wine to 1.4.1 as the ubuntu repos seem to have the older version of wine.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the comments.

I actually rumbled up some of the information from the Ubuntu forums, here’s the link.

I was actually disappointed in a lot of the articles online, including the Wine appDB; mainly because it didn’t state how to get Wine 1.1.4 running on Ubuntu. It simply says “First, get wine-1.1.4″ – well how can I when apt-get install wine says I had the latest version! I wanted to write a straight forward guide that would appeal to new users of Ubuntu, and those that don’t know how to compile from source.

Please link to the wine appdb (especially when you post instructions taken from there!).
The easiest URL for the Chrome appdb page is
