--- Comment #37 from Ben bvandermerwe@kbcat.com --- I see this marked as fixed. On Ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit with i386 added) with wine-stable, which gives you wine 5.0.3, .NET installs fine. But on any more recent version or if you use wine-devel from winehq, the .NET installation hangs. Reproducibly, always.
Using Ubuntu 64 bit do this: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update
For 18.04 add: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main' For 18.04 you also need: wget -qO- https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_1... | sudo apt-key add - For 18.04 you also need: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_1... ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs.list' For 20.04 add: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' For 20.10 add: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ groovy main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
sudo winecfg (say cancel for mono and gecko)
sudo apt install winetricks
sudo wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks -O /usr/bin/winetricks sudo winetricks dotnet472
I did not use any prefixes, on 18.04 with stable, it installs without any prefixes. But on say 20.04 with wine-devel, it hangs. So is this really fixed? See bug 49897, which is still open.
So if you have something that insists on install .NET 5.7.2, then your only option is to use Ubunutu 18.04 with wine-stable. Anything newer, and it hangs.
