Issues with Linux VPS (again)

[Momentum]

what distro are you running? i hear gentoo works well.

That's my point.

The wineconsole command didn't work because you had no x session running.

However, if the wine command does nothing, then I have no idea what's wrong.

no... you don't know. Thanks for trying to help, but you're not familiar with this issue

i'm probably doing something really wrong but
root@(none):/usr/bin# dpkg --add-architecture i386
dpkg: error: configuration error: /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/architectures:1: unknown option 'foreign-architecture'
root@(none):/usr/bin#
I normally know more about linux when I'm actually using it, not via command lineit outputs nothing

you need to put the ... wow, forget you script

Post the output of dpkg --print-architecture

[Lugnut]

Wait no,

root@(none):/usr/bin# dpkg --add-architecture i386

You're not running a 32bit operating system, run dpkg --add-architecture amd64

what distro are you running? i hear gentoo works well.

shoo
You're not helping

contact linode support.
Tell them you're trying to get wine running, and /usr/bin/wine (a helper placeholder script) told you to run blah blah commands, and you're getting such and such output. Ask them what to do.

You might end up compiling from source.

go away

root@(none):~# dpkg
dpkg: error: configuration error: /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/architectures:1: unknown option 'foreign-architecture'

[Lugnut]

Why did you post that...?

Did you contact support?

[Nal]

Why did you post that...?

Did you contact support?

I sent them that, but that's the command it gave me once I set the architecture to i386
or at least I thought it was that. I think somethings wrong with what I set it to

[Lugnut]

You aren't running a 32bit system!

When you log in, it says x86_64, which means 64 bit, which means amd64. That doesn't work, because dpkg doesn't know what it's doing because it's running in a virtual machine on linode.

You can't fix this, you need their help.

[Nal]

Should I reinstall debian as 32 bit and give it a shot?

[Greek2me]

Should I reinstall debian as 32 bit and give it a shot?

Yeah you could do that if you want to try it.

[Nal]

Put it on a 32bit system and NOW its installing. Thanks for the help so far <3

[Greek2me]

Post whether you get your server running.
