CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi,

I'm running ubuntu 12.10 64bit.

I previously had the wine meta package installed from the software centre, but I removed that. When installing the 64bit .deb, I get the following errors -

user@user-GA-MA785GT-UD3H:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i ia32-crossover_11.2.1-1_amd64.deb

Thanks for anyone who can help.

try running

$ sudo apt-get -f install

now, that should take care of the flagged dependencies and then install Crossover at the end (without your needing to manually try to install Crossover, again).

I'm having the same problem trying to install to Ubuntu 12.10 as the previous poster. The command recommended above did not solve my problem. I am unable to install CrossOver or Wine either for that matter.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Good day, I am not able to install crossover on Ubuntu 12.10 either. I have tried apt-get -f install several times. I tried installing ia32libs and it now states that I need libs32v41. I just seem to be going in circles. I am just trying to get MS Project to work. Thank you.

If you're performing the same initial command as the first poster, and seeing the same output, which is:

user@user-GA-MA785GT-UD3H:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i ia32-crossover_11.2.1-1_amd64.deb

and you then proceed to immediately run

sudo apt-get -f install

and this command fails to install (a) the necessary libraries and (b) Crossover, itself, at the end, can you please provide more information on the errors that you get after running that "apt-get -f install" command?

Please note that Crossover won't just pop up and start running after the apt-get process is complete. You'll need to launch Crossover from the appropriate icons as found in DASH Home:

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/linux/faq/ubuntu_1110_menus

Lastly, note that the easiest method to use to install Crossover from the appropriate .deb package (i.e. the package that's appropriate for your system's architecture) is to right-click on the file and choose open with the Ubuntu Software Center.

As a note, at least one user reported that after all of the above methods failed him, he had to run

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

then

sudo apt-get update

To get the 32-bit dependencies in order and then Crossover installed. This wasn't necessary on any of the 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 machines we have here in the office, and I'm not entirely sure why it would be necessary on some Ubuntu 12.10 installs and not others, significant changes to the default installation configuration notwithstanding.

I had the same problem as the original poster - I couldn't get the tool to install. I tried the add architecture, but it already was added. I tried the apt-get install -f, but all that did was want to remove Crossover!

So after playing around a bit what I found worked for me was:

Open software sources
On the tab "Ubuntu Software" change the "download from" to "Main Server" from the pulldown (it was set to UK server)
I then went into synaptic (but I guess apt-get update would work) and marked all packages for update. I had to do this twice as one package was held back
Run sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal

The last step caused ia32-libs-multiarch to be downloaded, and the other dependencies, and now the Crossover runs as expected.

So I suppose the changing of download servers and the reload of the package lists caused some index to be re-built and solved the issues.

Hope this helps!
