Problem solved. Can't install WINE on Ubuntu 12.04

[Morbuzka]

Alright, I'm in so deep, I've been searching for modules and installing so many packages, I don't even know where to go after this. Ubuntu is way different than windows, but I like it because when people see you using the terminal in ubuntu, they call you "tech savvy" and "technology geeks"

Alright, I think I know why this is happening to me.
From what I have gathered, me using crouton to install Ubuntu means that I got Ubuntu, but stripped down to required packages and modules, you never came with the extra, useful dependencies and packages. So, now I have to go on a package spree, installing base packages left and right for the basic, extra modules. Correct if I'm wrong on this.

Try checking if any wine related packages are installed and remove them, then try this:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.6

If this doesn't work, another thing you can do is try installing wine from source. I did this before and it worked just fine for me a while back.

I just wanna say thank you for this right here. I was so much of a newbie, that I didn't understand how to compile from source, and in my time consuming adventures in Ubuntu, it a simple cd, ./configure, installation of required packages and a make, then I'm done. Thanks, and sorry I couldn't understand the rest of you guys!
