I have downloaded wine 1.6 from here: I then downloaded the pokerstars from here:

Both downloads went fine (I think) but when I try to open the pokerstars client it connects and then just opens a small black box at the top left of my screen and that is it.

Does anybody have any ideas about what might be going wrong?

Thanks for any help

You need to update Wine to 1.7.

Run this 3 commands to do so:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks

You don't need to reinstall PokerStars, just install wine 1.7 and run PokerStars again.

Good Luck!

As stated in Wine(Wiki), do the following on your terminal command line:

 wget -nc sudo apt-key add Release.key sudo apt-add-repository 

and then (for the Stable branch),

 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

you're done!

• You can also install from Devel, via:

  sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

  or from Staging branch:

  sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging
