I have tried to install a unlisted application and i get error messages like lib64 and stuff and i try to install the packages and they failed.
the other forums suggest i check system requirements, which i meet all of and it doesnt work.

Please help me, Thank you

Hi there,

If you run "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" (without the quotes) in the terminal before attempting to install an application in CrossOver, does that go any better?

Best,

I'm testing this on a brand new Chromebook (Intel Celeron). When I try to create a 32-bit bottle, it fails with "failed to install missing packages".
(Note: I had run the "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" command in Terminal earlier.)

It mentioned that "libfreetype6:i386" is one of the missing packages. I tried to install that package in Terminal, but it said "unable to locate package". Here's my Terminal session:

troywolbrink@penguin:~$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
troywolbrink@penguin:~$ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libfreetype6:i386
troywolbrink@penguin:~$

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Troy

Hi folks,

Sorry about that; you also need to run "sudo apt update" after running "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386." If that doesn't work better, let me know.

Best,

Hi Meredith,

Thanks! Running these two command did the job:

[i]sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update[/i]

I was able to install my application (TntConnect) and it ran great on my Chromebook!

Awesome; so happy to hear that Troy!

I deleted my Linux environment and created a new one to start from scratch. I installed CrossOver 21.1 without any additional commands. So this is was a big step forward. The only problem I run into is when I try to register CrossOver. After I type in my CodeWeavers email/password and hit Enter, it says "Registration Failed". A terminal window appears that says:

Type the root password

This operation must be run as root:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxregister --install /tmp/license.txthp3ye5mi /tmp/license.sig7yd3uwxz

Trying with pkexec...
cxregister:error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/license.txthp3ye5mi'
Finished. Press Return to continue.

Hi Troy,

Can you try registering from the command line and see if that makes a difference. Open a terminal and run the following command, then enter your user name and password.

sudo -H /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxregister

If that doesn't work, please open a support ticket.

Best,
Meredith
