Theme name: Adwaita Kernel version = 5.1.5-desktop-1.mga7 Distribution=Mageia release 7 (Official) for x86_64 CPU=Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz I installed Wine64 and it said I needed Wine32 to run anything that is 32 bit. WELL WHY ISN'T IT ANYWHERE IN THE LIST EVEN AFTER I TELL IT TO UPDATE MEDIA AND INCLUDE THE 32 BIT STUFF. This is why I get tired of this and go back to my Win7.
First of all: Welcome to the Mageia family. Glad to have you onboard. :) Secondly: I don't know what DE you're using, but if you open the Program menu and then go to System Tools and then click on Mageia Control Center and then type the password in the popup window and then click OK and then Program Management and then click Configure media sources for installation and updates, do you then see 32-bit medias in the list? Alternatively you can exit all those windows and open a terminal window logging in as root and do edit-urpm-sources.pl --expert If you don't see any 32-bit medias I suggest you delete the ones you have and click on the Add button on the right side and then choose Yes and wait until all medias are added. Then you can mark the ones you need and unmark those you don't need. Thirdly: What program couldn't you find that you have to install Wine to use it? If I want to run a certain program that was written mainly for Windows I'd install Windows first and Mageia next to it and boot either of the systems from GRUB. Otherwise I just use Windows through Virtualbox. Again, very much welcome, Robert. :)

Footnote: Don't check the box for Testing medias unless you're prepared for a very broken system.
Still makes no difference in the list of packages. I see only a FEW "no arch" and the rest are ALL X86_64. Where is Wine32?
This message comes up after installing Wine64. This is the Win64 version of Wine. This version can only be used to run 64-bit Windows applications as is. For running 32-bit Windows applications, you need to also install the 'wine32' package from the 32-bit repository. So, WHERE IS IT?
Check in -Control Center -> Software Management -> Configure Media to see if the 32-bit repos actually got activated. If they are, then check in Install and Remove Software to see that you have the selections up top left set to All and All, not the GUI Packages Only that comes as the default.

In the software installer, I did that and never saw the 32 bit stuff. I just went to the Media Sources in the Welcome screen and added them and now it is there.

So the problem was that whatever you did to add the 32-bit repositories didn't work. What exactly was that ?

No reply to Frank's question :-( @ Robert There may be a real bug that caused your problem, but neither you nor another user (if there are any that hit the same problem) told us which exact steps you took before hitting your problem So we don't have enough information to try to reproduce the issue (adding 32bit media works fine here, but maybe you used a valid but different method??) or to know which of our packages causes it. that makes this _report_ invalid :-(
