Well hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu and need some tips&tricks
I search a while for this error but can't see that anybody else gets this:


----------------------------
Error

PlayOnLinux cannot find curl (from cURL)
You need to install it to continue

----------------------------

what is cURL, and how do install that?

If you need more info from me, i can get whatever you ask for :)

This shouldnt be hard to get.

Which version of Linux are you using?

On Ubuntu, I just type:


sudo apt-get install curl

Also, make sure to install 7zip, as well.

Im sure that if you search your package manager for curl, it will show up.

Installed 12.10 Ubuntu 32-bit

ok. then run this command in your terminal:


sudo apt-get install curl p7zip-full p7zip-rar

Well that when smooth :P, all good so far :D

Thank you

(and yes 7zip is ofcourse installed)

Done ran the install of p7zip, all ok. Posting a new topic if i get in more trouble.

Excellent. :)

I got that error after updating to 4.2.1
did something change to require curl?

Yes, attached files in bug reporting

dpkg：警告：files list file for package 'libexempi3:amd64' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed?????

Can play the game Cross Fire?

Installed 13.04 Ubuntu 64-bit

Please dont spam-post.

Please dont add a bunch of question marks. We know its an error.

Its exactly what it says; you are missing that file. Try running:


sudo apt-get install multiarch-support ia32-libs

Can play the game Cross Fire?

Ummm. What?

Installed 13.04 Ubuntu 64-bit

This is not an LTS version, and has experimental features, some of which have been causing issues. There is nothing special about 13.04 except that it has some random features. If you want stability, stay with 12.04.2 LTS.

hello.... Using ubuntu 12.04.2, trying to install trine2 through POL, after running installation, errors prompts "wine has crashed." Any thoughts? Thank you.

Wow, this must be the "all subject" thread...

RunninFromuS - You will need to start a new thread first... please read the forum rules also.

If you are unable to make it work download it here :

You dont need to use a PPA to get Curl. Its already in Ubuntu's default repositories.

Hey I am running Mint 15, and I'm having the same issue, I was wondering if using the command "sudo apt-get install curl p7zip-full p7zip-rar" would work for me?

Sorry if I sound silly, but Linux novice here. :P
