View 2 RepliesI am trying to kick start learning programming for Android.I try to install Android SDK(1.5, 1.6, and 2.0). However, the emulator keeps crashing with "Segmentation Fault" error. Since Android emulator is a binary only 32 bit executable, I suspect that I am missing some 32 bit library, so I tried to install qemu.However, since my installation is 64 bit, I can only install 64 bit qemu. how to enable 32bit repository on a 64 bit system? I don't know if I should use i586 or i686.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes you get more than you ask for and in this case, I did: I had no idea (had the computer for a few years now) that I was running a dual core 64 bit machine. The silly thing is that I have 32bit Fedora 11 on it, 32 bit versions of all my installed software...etc., etc. Am I able at this point to salvage anything or is it best to just back up the home directory and then do a reinstall?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the advantage of running a 64bit system over a 32bit system? I only have 3GB of ram but plan on kickin another 1GIG into it. But i wanna try 64bit Linux(probably slackware) on it. But first im just wondering what the advantages are people have seen who have used both 32/64bit linux. Speed? Smoothness? And also what are major disadvantages such as compatibility, configuration, etc.

I tried to run ubuntu 32bit and I have a lot of boot problems. Sometimes it will boot but most of the time it wont. I have to hard reboot every time 6 or 7 times just to get it to boot. I was wondering what could be the problem. For some reason I was thinking maybe it was my hard drive being to large (1.5 terabyte) its been a while since I've tried but I don't remember there being any error messages just a black screen. I've waited up to around 5 hours for one boot so I know I am giving it enough time. Is there a fix to make 32bit ubuntu use a large hard drive like that. I know there is one for the ram but I love ubuntu and would like to have a stable system and use my printer at the same time.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about upgrading to 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 because I have heard it's good for gaming and makes things run smoother. Also, I know it's the new thing and I'm going to have to switch eventually. Point is I don't want to loose my data with the clean install and I was wondering if I backup my current system, which is 32bit (assuming there is a backup utility, I thought I saw one) will I be able to load that on my new 64bit install?

Teh 32bit progs of ld-linux.so.2 and libfreetype.so.6 is already installed.
Code:
yum install ld-linux.so.2 libfreetype.so.6
Is it possible to upgrade from F12 32bit to F13 64bit? The hardware would support 64bit.

Im installing a fresh copy of F12 on a laptop.What I would like to know is if I install the 64bit version will all none 64bit apps install and run.I have normal apps but do needs the lotus notes clientadobe apps, crossover linux, vmware etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using the 64bit version of fedora since release 10. I want to know what exactly makes the diffrence between the 32bit and the 64bit releases. I am having some troubles recently regarding some drivers and other issues in my fedora 12 and I was thinking of moving to the 32bit one,
here are my PC's specs:
CPU C2D Intel 2.6
4 GB RAM
NVidia 8500GT
Nvidia 9500GT
I've managed to use the 32bit apps by installing the 32bit compatibility packages.
I'm trying to run a library compiled in a 32bit Linux (CentOS) environment on my Fedora11 64bit image. I ran into a few issues with dependencies such as gcc, xml2, ssl plus a whole stack more that existed in /lib64 and no/lib where the binary was expecting them. After a bit of reading around, I found I needed to install the .i586 version of each of the dependencies. After adding most of them, I was left with libssl, libcrypto and libxml2. When I tried to do the following
Code:
yum install openssl.i586
I got an error stating it could not be copied due to a conflict with the i686 version. I was going to erase the i686 but it was going to remove a ton of other stuff so I created a symbolic link in /lib to point to 64bit version. Eventually, ldd had no missing dependencies so I figured I was good to go. I now get the following errors when I call my library
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpalo_ng.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
PHP is installed and working and the libpalo_ng.so.0 is in the /lib folder
Google answers attempted:
# grep lm /proc/cpuinfo
# uname -m
# file /sbin/init
# file /usr/bin/file
I don't think none of the above gives deterministic answer. Since I have 32-bit & 64-bit different system all of above spit out the same info.
I have upgraded to 6gb of ram on my lenovo x201. Unfortunately Fedora 14, 32bit version, allow to use only 3gb of ram.
I need now to migrate to 64bit.
What is the best way to backup my actually configuration and restore later?
For example I have my gnome inteface customized, notes in gnote...etc.
I dont want to set up again from scratch.
I try install F14 32 bit, f14 64 bit, f15 32 bit and Centos 5.5 and when it arrives at the end of the installation and reboot, my system no boot. I try install it on a Hardware RAID 1 --> 2 x 2TB. Motherboard Intel DH57DD, Core I5, 4 Gb DD3. (Windows 7 afeter install boot OK).
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have been running F14 as a 32-bit system (original m/b was 32-bit). Now the system is on a 64-bit dual-core processor board and I'd like to change from the 32-bit kernel to 64-bit. I downloaded a 64-bit kernel (kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.86_64.rpm) and attempted to install it. It won't install and Package Installer returns a message of the sort that says this file "has incompatible architecture.
Valid architectures are ['athlon', 'i686', 'i586', 'i486'....]". My processor is an Athlon 64 x2. Is it possible to do what I want to do (I only want the kernel at the moment)? Is there some Fedora file I need to modify to allow the system to install the 64-bit kernel for this m/b? Do I need another file (or files) installed before I install the kernel?

Can I not have the 64 bit and 32 bit packages installed at the same time?
I was trying to install the android sdk so I can write some apps and play around on a new droid phone i hope to get tomorrow. I had 64bit FC11 installed but the android stuff is only 32bit. I needed to install a bunch of the 32bit libs to get this to work. I installed FC11 64 bit. This cuased problems because the android stuff is 32bit. I couldn't get it to launch so I had to install the 32 bit libraries as well. A lot of the libraries could be removed but I think they will be helpful and useful in other stuff as well.
After installing these just follow the normal android install. I had another problem with the android install because the Ganymede Update Site was not checked so it wouldn't download the updates for the eclipse software. In the Software Updates and Addons window click Manage Sites, check Ganymede Update Site. Here is the link if you have to add it.[URL]..# instruction to get 32 bit android stuff in 64 bit FC11 Add an "rpm" Macro. You'll need this later or it will be hard to tell your rpm versions apart.

I'm using Fedora 13beta and KDE on x86_64 arch.
gtk 32-bit apps (eg: acroread, skype) have ugly fonts in their menus.
gtk 64-bit apps look great (and similar to qt apps).
The following packages are already installed:
gtk2-2.20.0-1.fc13.i686
gtk2-engines-2.20.0-1.fc13.i686
qtcurve-gtk2-1.3.0-1.fc13.i686
I need to run a proprietary VPN client (Aventail) that can't use the openssl libraries that are packaged with 64bit F10:The Fedora openssl package does something differently from the original openssl.org package that makes it incompatible with Aventail (see bugzilla ticket 477073) I also believe the Aventail client software requires 32-bit libraries. So, I've determined I need to install 32bit openssl directly from openssl.org, then link my Aventail client to that. Note that I don't want to replace the 64bit openssl libraries currently on my system.
Based on the Bugzilla ticket, I believe I know how to hook up Aventail before I install it simply by supplying a few specific soft links if I can make/compile/whatever the 32bit openssl.org libraries and keep them in their own isolated directory. how to get the 32bit openssl libraries installed in a little corner by themselves on my 64bit system. give a step-by-step on on the commands necessary to place a 32bit version of openssl all by itself in a directory of my choosing?
Adobe has discontinued the 64-bit linux version of flash-player. How can I get flash-player-32bit working in Chromium-64bit on Fedora 13 (x86_64)?

I have a few systems (linux boxes and windows boxes) that are currently 32bit hardware systems with 32bit OS installed and running. These systems are HP desktops pc with intel pentium chipset, Dell desktop pc with AMD chipset, IBM xSeries servers with intel pentium chipset. But now I want to upgrade all these systems (workstation/servers) to 64bit OS, but need the 64bit supported hardware. Is there "possibly" any way to work around this 32bit hardware systems and make them ready to accept 64bit OS?
