Use sudo with your package manager (apt-get) from the console to install. Avoid running console (bash, csh etc) as root as much as possible. This guide should work fine for your distribution, Ubuntu is built from a Debian base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying with legion expansion. I'm using ubuntu 19.10 and playonlinux 4.3.4 with wine 5.3 (x86), and selected windows7 as OS. I did install mscorefonts and gecko libraries. The game stuck in loading screen. I'm still looking for a solution... For the virtual drive folder you can go to: home>PlayOnLinux's virtual drives>"Drive Name">drive_c If you can't see "PlayOnLinux's virtual drives", try checking the "show hidden files" option in the files manager and then go to: home/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/"DriveName"/drive_c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
