Problem trying to install Logitech G Hub in Ubuntu in order to use it with headphones (wine, winetricks and PlayOnLinux didn't worked)

I've recently got a Logitech X Pro Headset (the wired version), the one that comes with Blue microphone.

In order to change the default settings I need to install Logitech G Hub software, that comes for linux and Mac...

Of course everything works out of the box for the basics that I need, as I do use to teach online, but I really wanted to use the extra features of the mic. I've tried installing Wine, Winetricks and finally PlayOnLinux, but it does not allow me to install it.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1), and when I do:wine lghub.exe on the terminal, I get

002b:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed

When using PlayOnLinux, I get:

Error in POL_Wine Wine seems to have crashed If your program is running, just ignore this message.

What should I do? I've read about Wine Mono and that after using winetricks I shouldn't get that error?

Any comment is greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I've tried Updating Wine to 6 version. So fay, it does try to open the Logitech software, but it freezes each and every time.

The error you see with Wine is not actually related to Logitech G Hub. The developers of the package changed the PPA used to distribute wine. So, if you installed wine using apt install wine this will install an older version which does not work on Ubuntu 20.04.

To fix the error 002b:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed first run sudo apt purge wine to remove the old version. Then follow the steps here: to install wine.

You can then retry the G Hub installation.
