doesn’t work. ma;formed entry 1 in list file
Never seen a website where you can’t copy/paste text…. let alone a Linux tutorial one. Crazy. 🙁
Hello, I want to warn that the repository is wrong is not, I changed cosmic through bionic and managed to install and update.
thus, ‘deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main’
There should be a space in front of “bionic”, which isn’t apparent from the way the text is formatted.
This wouldn’t be a problem, if it was possible to cut & paste the commands.
