==== Comports setting Method 2 (terminal) ====

run the following command in terminal
<code | sh> sudo rm ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 && sudo ln -s /dev/com6 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 </code>

Ensure you replace com6 with what ever com port you want to use (com7, ttyUSB0 and etc)

==== How to associate .exe files with Wine on Ubuntu? ====
You need to install wine-binfmt.

Also copy wine.desktop to /usr/share/applications or to $HOME/.local/share/applications/. You will find wine.desktop in /usr/share/doc/wine/examples/wine.desktop.

===== None of the windows/notepads are responding =====
Sometimes Gnome (desktop interface) has some issue, simply go and restart gnome by doing the following 

On the desktop, press <key>alt</key> + <key>F2</key>. A text box will pop up, type <key>r</key> and press <key>enter</key>
Gnome will then restart and things should work again.
