    I'm not sure that I'm understanding your question the way it's phrased. If you are having trouble downloading WINE, check these two HowTos for making sure you have your repositories setup correctly:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg...ositories.html

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

    Most new users find installing software using Synaptic to be the easiest.

    aight i got in.. through {dbus - hal - gdm} gnome started and i was in... so ok now i'm in and it gives me a different error pertaining to the line gdm i think ?

    A.K.A ---

    Intrepid 8.10
    (no board no mouse)
    GRUB - root shell prompt
    /etc/init.d/dbus start
    /etc/init.d/hal start
    /etc/init.d/gdm start
    login[usrnme] pass[wrd]
    desktop
    update
    W:failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...d/realease.gpg
    could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'
    W:failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...repid/main/i18 n/translation-en_US.bz2 could not resolve'archive.ubuntu.com'
    W:failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...d/Realease.gpg
    could not resolve 'wine.budgetdedicated.com'
    W:failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...repid/main/i18 n/translation-en_US.bz2 could not resolve'archive.ubuntu.com'


    W:Some index files failed to download.they have been ignored,or old ones used instead.


    so n'ways should that tell me gnome is messed up because of what i had to do on the shell prompt ?? (also i get security is not acceptable through linux when i go through shell prompt w/out entering "dbus hal gdubs" etc.

    and i burned the new copy of "jaunty" and installed via wine but it didn't acknowledge it at all... took awhile then asked for reboot but then nothing
    so do you want me to take a baseball bat to this peice o' sh*t yet ,and get a new one or what !? i know this can be aggrivating for you guys at "TECH support" but thnx i know your here to help... thnx

    This is a DNS issue only.

    As a work-around for your update you can do the following.

    Press ALT + F2 and type "gksu gedit" (without the quotes) Enter your password
    Open /etc/hosts in gedit
    Add the following lines

    Code:
    91.189.88.46    us.archive.ubuntu.com
91.189.88.46    security.ubuntu.com
    Save the file.

    Open a terminal and run the following command to restart your network

    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

    Retry your update but this won't help with Wine.

    Can you post the contents of /etc/resolv.conf here?

    Even though I'm resolving the address, the links are coming up 404 for me. Not sure what that's about.

    Even the one right above (cropped contents of archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/restricted/il8n/):
    Code:
    [ ]	Translation-el.bz2	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	308 	 
[ ]	Translation-el.gz	17-Oct-2008 10:03 	278 	 
[ ]	Translation-en_CA	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	21K	 
[ ]	Translation-en_CA.bz2	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	3.7K	 
[ ]	Translation-en_CA.gz	17-Oct-2008 10:03 	3.5K	 
[ ]	Translation-en_GB	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	3.5K	 
[ ]	Translation-en_GB.bz2	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	1.1K	 
[ ]	Translation-en_GB.gz	17-Oct-2008 10:03 	946 	 
[ ]	Translation-es  	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	22K	 
[ ]	Translation-es.bz2	04-Dec-2008 19:56 	3.9K
    ...it can't find a file that doesn't exist on the server.

    AFA resolv.conf or hosts "Permission Denied" error, that's what the gksu (or sudo from a terminal) prefix is there to avoid.

    There shouldn't be a resolv.conf issue though unless you're on dial-up and the permissions are not right... the dialer needs to be able to edit the file as necessary on dial-in with values it receives from the PPP server.

    Another possibility then might be to force in top-level public DNS servers in the resolv.conf... something like (this is my /etc/resolv.conf):
    nameserver 4.2.2.1
    nameserver 4.2.2.2
    would probably solve the "can't resolve address" issues.
    You just WON the game!
