It installs fine but there is no GUI anywhere for it nor is it in the recommended open with programs. I'm guessing its a repository issue because in the software updater I get this error. 

E:The repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file. 
W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. 
W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

  • See this answer while waiting the provider to release Bionic version of Wine. If it installs fine, I assume you're using the universe version of the Wine instead of WineHQ's. – Aryo Adhi May 23 '18 at 18:46
  • This worked thank you. But I dont know what to check your response. As a proper answer – crj_1985 May 23 '18 at 19:40

After installing wine (assuming you're successfully installed it), you need to generate the config file by simply running winecfg after installation. It will generate 64-bit WINEPREFIX, so if you need the 32-bit WINEPREFIX, you need to pass the argument WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=path_to_wineprefix before running winecfg. (see WineHQ FAQ for more information)

If you need something which has more GUI for your configuration, PlayOnLinux is your solution. However, there is no Bionic release for POL, yet. You need to manually configure the mirror and use Xenial release, which I doubt it won't conflict with the main Ubuntu repository.
