Cannot Install Wine

When trying to install Wine from the MX Package Manager or using this guide:
https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/w ... ian-Ubuntu
I get the following error:
Code: Select all
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-zeWEdp/192-libasound2-plugins_1.2.7.1-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After that the system is kinda corrupted and i cannot install other things aswell.
I also cannot remove it.
I tried reinstalling MX Linux, Updating the System and even upgrading the Kernel with no luck.
I'm using the latest Version of MX Linux KDE.
I tried installing both staging and stable versions of Wine resulting in the same error.
If i install Wine from Discover Store it works BUT that version of wine (8.0) is too old so my application does not work properly. (It works properly in a newer wine version on another computer running another Linux Distro)
Maybe there is a way to install Wine Version 9 instead of 10 ? Maybe that would work?
I really hope you guys know the solution because at this point i don't know what to do anymore.

You may have a corrupted file of libasound2-plugins_1.2.7.1-1_i386.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives/, and apt is hung up not being able to finish installing Wine. Try deleting that file:

Rebooting may also help resolve issues.
Yes, that is a nice workstation! I bet it could build a Liquorix kernel really quickly.
I wonder how it would run on a newer AHS kernel to go with the rest of your AHS packages. That's easy to add without removing the standard Debian kernel, though that also needs an update to

I don'*t really know what to do from here. Any Ideas?
At this point my only idea would be to install another Distro like Linux Mint and see if it works but i would really prefer to keep using MX Linux KDE if possible.

Try using the MX Linux supported process to install Wine.

Installing using the MX Package Manager was the first thing that i did.
Does not matter if i use the MX Package Manager or the Instructions on the Wine Website. Same Error in both cases.

Please respond with your MX Package Installer logs. MX Quick System info - mxpi.log. There may be several install logs above/before the Wine effort. Only that is needed.

The error you are getting is that the file
/usr/share/doc/libasound2-plugins/README-arcam-av
is different in the libasound2-plugins:i386 deb than is already on the system already so it doesn't want to overwrite it.
Given that it's just a text file about using a particular piece of hardware, I would delete it and try installing the deb again

This was the solution. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
FYI: In Linux Mint (Ubuntu Based) this was not an issue and in QuarkOS (Ubuntu) i had the same problem.
Unfortunately now i have another Wine related problem.
The reason i need wine in the first place is an over 10 year old app named "FL Studio 11.1.1" (First 64bit version and last version before they made major changes)
The Program basically works BUT if i try loading the Demo Project i get a bunch of errors like this:

and also a few audio files are missing.
If i open a new project everything appears to be working fine but loading the demo project causes errors.
If i install linux mint cinnamon (ubuntu based) or QuarkOS (ubuntu based) or Q4OS (Debian based) THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST. So it almost seems to be MX Linux related.
This happens no matter if i install Wine using the MX Package Manager (9.0 Staging), WineHQ Website Instructions (10.0 Stable) or Discover Store (8.0 Stable).
Any ideas what this is and how to solve it?
I know i will have to replace this program with a native Linux App like Bitwig Studio in the future but for now i still need FL 11.
The Demo Version of FL Studio 11.1.1 can be downloaded here:

Well after working with FL 11 for a couple hours it seems to work okay.
But there are some factory audio files missing and opening the demo project results in errors as shown in the picture in my last post.
Of course i'm a bit worried if i can trust the app in this condition.
If someone has any ideas what i could try please let me know. Otherwise i think i have to leave it like that for now.
Maybe any log files that could be of interest?

This is just a suggestion that may be useful if you have old Windows operating system discs and provides an alternative to Wine. Setr up Windows as a virtual operating system using VirtualBox or similar. I run Windows XP professional this way (albeit with it isolated from the internet) and run a number of old windows programs in it - it also allows be to access certain peripherals not compatible with Linux. Dual booting is another option but that might be a step too far for some.

Well it already seems to run good enough to not deal with a VM.
A VM would also be not ideal for doing Audio Work. Assuming it does work good enough the workflow would still suck.
I had a dual boot until now but i decided to not do that anymore starting with this new machine.
Long Term Plan is looking at Bitwig Studio and hoping this will be a good native linux replacement.
So again if someone has an idea what this could be and how to fix it please let me know.
I would also happily provide logs if you tell me which ones.
Otherwise i will ignore the error and missing audio files for now and hope this is really all that's not working correctly.
But i'm sure it could be fixed as its working fine on other linux distros.

This is generally a good way to go, for many purposes where a compatibility layer for running the binaries directly isn't working well. However, in this particular case, there is a HUGE catch: professional digital audio workstation software needs to have rock solid audio hardware implementation and stable, predictable, efficient low-latency driver support. Virtualization in Virtualbox or similar will not really work for that. If the idea is not to run such software in such a manner that they should react to user input in realtime, it can work (in the sense that you do get sound out of it, after a little pause, when pressing play

, hearing the project, using just a regular driver with ample buffers). For realtime stuff that this software is most often used for, not so much.

I think i got a bit further with this but i still need help.
To recap i get this error message when loading the demo project:
Code: Select all
Access violation at address 00000000004A5702D in module 'Harmor_x64.dll'. Read of address 000002D4C22BE910.
I now started fl from terminal using:
When opening the Demo Project i get this error in the terminal:

According to ChatGPT this line is interesting:
Code: Select all
0128:err:winediag:NtCreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably needs to be increased
ChatGPT suggested increasing the limit but all the solutions it gave me did not work including
returns
Code: Select all
bash: ulimit: open files: Kann die Grenze nicht ändern: Die Operation ist nicht erlaubt
I'm not an MX Linux expert. Does somebody know how i can increase this limit?
I think there is a pretty high chance that this is my issue.

If you're not bound to FL Studio, AVLinux may be able to suggest an alternative. I think you really should be running a Liquorix kernel for the low latency, too, usually a prerequisite for audio work.

I found this article to be pretty confusing / not very easy & straight forward.
This helped me fix it in the end:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/17312
But i did it a little different.
1. Open Terminal and execute: (You can also use nano etc.)
2. Below (this might vary a bit depending on your configuration):
Code: Select all
#* soft core 0
#root hard core 100000
#* hard rss 10000
#@student hard nproc 20
#@faculty soft nproc 20
#@faculty hard nproc 50
#ftp hard nproc 0
#ftp - chroot /ftp
#@student - maxlogins 4
add: (replace with your username)
Code: Select all
michael soft nofile 100000
michael hard nofile 200000
3. Save (will ask for root password)
4. Reboot
-----
FL Studio 11 is now working fine, no more errors when loading the demo project.
I will now try the Liquorix kernel to see if i really get lower latency with that. :)

The answer to this question is NO. The performance is even a bit worse and i found the reason by accident.
The Liquorix Kernel limits my maximum CPU Clock Speed to 2 GHZ which is the base clock speed. In other Words it disables Turbo Boost.
Reverting back to the Standard Kernel Turbo Boost is enabled and working again letting me get speeds up to 4.7GHZ.
Needless to say that 2GHZ is rather low for realtime audio production.
But this is also a limitation of my system (W9-3595x with 60 cores, 120 Threads & 512GB RAM) which is not perfect for Audio Processing to begin with because from what i understand this CPU/Platform has a somewhat higher latency in general.
Running FL Studio in Wine doesn't make things better. I need 4096 samples Buffersize to run the demo project. Smaller Projects i can run with 512 samples.
In Bitwig i can get down to 128 samples with a few minor dropouts but still very usable or 256 samples and the demo project plays perfectly.
But i kinda expected this and it's not an issue because this is not the main application for this system.
Running multiple Virtual Machines is. And from what i read i should probably better stay away from the Liquorix kernel for that and if i prioritize Stability & Reliability in general.

I need to correct myself since this is not entirely true.
If using "cpupower" it reports that the max clock speed is 2 GHZ. I cannot set the minimum clock speed above 2GHZ using "cpupower" when using Liquorix Kernel.
BUT inxi -Fz still reports some cores clocking at 3 to 4 ghz under load. So it seems like it does NOT disable Turbo Boost but still prevents me from setting a higher min clock frequency than 2 GHZ. With the Standard Kernel it allows me to do this though.
