Pokerstars Download Using Wine

  • 772

I have downloaded wine 1.6 from here: https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu I then downloaded the pokerstars from here: http://www.pokerstars.net/poker/download/

Both downloads went fine (I think) but when I try to open the pokerstars client it connects and then just opens a small black box at the top left of my screen and that is it.

Does anybody have any ideas about what might be going wrong?

Thanks for any help

  1. You need to update Wine to 1.7.

    Run this 3 commands to do so:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks

    You don't need to reinstall PokerStars, just install wine 1.7 and run PokerStars again.

    Good Luck!

  2. As stated in Wine(Wiki), do the following on your terminal command line:

     wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
 sudo apt-key add Release.key
 sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu

    and then (for the Stable branch),

     sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

    you're done!

    • You can also install from Devel, via: 

      sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

      or from Staging branch:

      sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging
