Wine is one of those applications that practically any Linux user knows. Thanks to Wine we can run several Windows applications on Linux. It works as an interpreter that creates an execution layer for programs that can be run in Linux.

Wine is included in the official repositories of almost any distribution. The problem is that Wine’s development is too active (which is very welcome) and they constantly add features and improve the support of the applications.

Therefore, if you notice when using Wine that certain programs do not run correctly, then updating Wine may be a solution.

So let’s go for it.

Install Wine 6 on Fedora 34 / 33

Although Fedora is a distribution that is updated quite a lot, it is also true that it does not always provide us with the latest version of some programs. This is the case of Wine which, although it is true, gives us an updated version, it is not the latest one.

So for this, it is necessary to add a new repository that contains both the latest stable version of Wine and the development version.

So, open a terminal and run the following command for Fedora 34

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/34/winehq.repo

And this for Fedora 33:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/33/winehq.repo

This command will add the Wine repository to the system.

After that, install Wine 6 on Fedora 34 / 33 by running the following command:

sudo dnf install winehq-stable

During the process, you will have to confirm the installation because a new repository is being added along with its GPG key.

After the installation is complete, you can check the version by running

wine --version

so, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Wine is an application that is a veteran within Linux. However, it is quite popular especially with users coming from Windows. It does not always give the expected results but it can work and solve several problems.

Now you know how to install version 6 of this program on Fedora 34 / 33.

What is PRTG ?

PRTG is a comprehensive network monitoring tool. It is easily install in minutes and configure quickly. This software needs credentials to access devices in network. It automatically installs devices with some default sensors, for example Ping sensor. Because for this sensor no credentials are required.

How PRTG Works?

PRTG collects real time network data using more than 250 pre-defined sensors and show them in a graphical view for better understanding and pro active monitoring. It auto discover network devices with sensors and auto configure them. These sensors are used to poll statistics from monitored devices i.e., response time, processor/memory/bandwidth usage etc

What PRTG can monitor?

Key Features

Installation Requirements

A PC or Server with at least dual core CPU and 2GB RAM. It can also be installed in a virtual machine, but there is recommended limit on the number of sensors because of the hypervisor overhead.

Installation Steps of PRTG

PRTG offer unlimited versions for 30 days. After 30 days, it reverts to free version.

1. Download Free Version from following link https://www.paessler.com/

Prerequisites

This method makes use of virtualization. For this reason it is necessary to have a processor that supports this technology. Additionally, it is essential to have Hyper-V enabled or to install VirtualBox.

How to download Multipass.

As mentioned above, this cloud-based installation is multi-platform. Therefore, the first thing you have to do is go to this link and download the executable file for Windows. Once you have downloaded the file, just run it as any Windows executable.

After accepting the license, it is necessary to select which hypervisor you will use. As mentioned, you can use either Hyper-V or Virtualbox.

Now the wizard offers to add Multipass to the path. This is very important because it allows you to run the instance without having to type in the full installation address.

Now select the installation location.

Then choose the components to be installed.

Once the previous step is completed, the installation will begin. Wait a few moments while the work is completed.

Running and configuring Multipass for Ubuntu.

Once the installation is complete, it is time to run Multipass for the first time. With this intention, go to the home menu and click on Multipass.

This action will launch Multipass. To launch the shell please right-click on the icon in the taskbar and click on Open Shell.

Immediately PowerShell will be displayed and the Ubuntu image will start downloading. This is an unattended process.

After retrieving the image, the wizard will ask if you wish to contribute information. Finally, the preparation of Multipass will begin.

Finally, Multipass has been successfully installed.

Some basic Multipass commands.

From now on, all that remains is to explore the new facility. First, you can update the list of available packages and their versions.

sudo apt-get update

The default password is ubuntu However, you can change it with the following command:

sudo passwd ubuntu

At the end of the day we have seen how to install Ubuntu on Windows 10 using Multipass. From now on, you can enjoy another alternative to use Ubuntu within Windows 10. I hope you enjoyed it. See you later!

The importance of a virtualization platform like Hyper-V

We have previously highlighted the importance of using a virtualization environment. Indeed, at the level of Windows Server it represents a great advantage. It allows you to test systems and apps in a secure environment. Since any failure or error would not represent a threat to the system or its users. Within a corporate environment, it is a great security measure. Likewise, domestic and professional users can test new systems. Or even polish apps without fear of damaging the main system. Well, in this post we will use Hyper-V from Windows Server 2019. However, the process is very similar in Windows 10. Therefore, you can use the steps for both systems.

Installing Ubuntu on Windows Server using Hyper-V

In today’s post we will see how to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine step by step. In the first place you must download the image from this link. Then press Win+Q and type Hyper-V to launch the manager.

As this is the first time the tool is launched, you can see that there are no virtual machines created. Therefore, we are going to create the first one. With this in mind, select the server or machine. Next New>Virtual Machine

Configuring the virtual machine.

An assistant will be launched immediately. You can press Finish to create a virtual machine with default values. Or you can press Next to customize the settings. In this case, press Next to continue.

It is then time to specify the name of the new virtual machine. It is also possible to set the location of the virtual machine. When you are ready, press Next to continue.

Hyper-V offers two generations of virtual machine configuration. Generation 1 is for older installations. Generation 2 offers features for more modern machines. You can choose any of them according to your needs.

Assigning Ubuntu installation values in Hyper-V.

Now it is time to specify the amount of ram memory intended for the virtual machine. By default, the wizard assigns the recommended minimum to run the system. However, it is recommended to assign a little more so that everything flows smoothly. On the other hand, this amount will also depend on the amount of physical ram memory the computer has. In addition, the platform provides the option of using dynamic ram memory. That is, beyond the assigned memory, Hyper-V assigns memory according to the needs of the virtual machine.

Then configure the network connectivity. That is, if you want to enable the Internet connection, please enable the physical network device to act as a switch.

Now it’s time to configure the virtual hard disk. The wizard offers 3 options. The first one is to create a new disk with its assigned size. Besides that you can use a previously created virtual hard disk. Finally, you have an option to assign a virtual disk later.

This point you have to configure the values for the Ubuntu installation. That is, the source to boot the system. In this case, we will use the previously downloaded ISO.

Finally, a summary of the installation is shown. If you are satisfied with all the elements, then press Finish to begin the installation.

Running Ubuntu 20.04.1 in Hyper-V

Once the installation is finished, it is time to run Ubuntu 20.04.1 for the first time. This process is composed of two steps. In the first place you must turn on the virtual machine, and then click on connect.

Finally, the process is over. In this way we have seen how to install Ubuntu 20.04.1 on Windows Server/10 using Hyper-V. It is a good addition to our domestic system or business environment. See you later!
