Ubuntu Installation :: Recognizes My System As AMD 64bit
Jan 25, 2011
I just installed it yesterday, version 10.10, desktop edition, downloaded from Ubuntu's site; running it along side Windows; and love it from the get go, but... I can't get the Flash plugin to work.
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite Pro P505-S8945 with this specs:
2.0GHz Intel Core2 Duo P7350 Processor
400GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit), 4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4570 Graphics
I tried installing the 32bit version on Flash but kept getting error messages about "wrong architecture i386", so, I went to the (sorry if i make a mistake I'm paraphrasing) "Ubuntu software center", the application within Ubuntu where you can go to the repositories and get software upgrades, and I realized that for some reason Ubuntu is recognizing my system as running on an AMD 64 processor, which I'm not! Mind you, I haven't tried to install the 64bit version of flash, just wondering really, the reason why Ubuntu would say that I'm running on a 64bit AMD processor!
I'm having problems upgrading my FF browser from the standard 3.5 up to 3.6. This is a 64bit system, & if I can provide any other info about it, just ask.I've searched this forum for the help I'm looking for, but I have not yet seen an acceptable answer. If this has glitches, or is too complicated, I won't even bother....3.5 is fine for now, but it would be nice to upgrade.
I 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?
The problem after couple installations (10.10 --> 10.04 --> 10.10 --> 10.04-3) is that system goes to "busybox" after complaining about missing root device. I already have come to conclusion that this problem could be solved by telling the system that the root device is at sda1. However, I'm not able to start grub (by pressing "ESC") at boot before problems start. I'm able to start live-cd and I tried to install "over" the old one (same partitions without format, same username). No luck.
And in the busybox /proc/modules is empty for example. And the grub has worked with previous installations.
i will get directly to the problem. I'm a mid-experienced ubuntu user and i'm facing a harddisk problem in my opinion. When i try to install 11.04 and 10.10 ubuntu doesn't recognizes my w7sp1x64 volume (157 gb one). accually ubuntu acts like there is no ata device connected and no matter what i do is useless. at first i thought mybe my hdd is damaged but w7 boots like a charm; but i can't even install ubuntu. here are some pictures about my hdd:
I have a quad core computer. The video card, I believe, is a Zotac 9500. I installed Fedora 12 in a dual boot along side Win 7. The problem with the Fedora installation is that it only recognizes video of 800 x 600.
Sometimes 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?
What 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've decided to build a new system. I been doing a lot of compatibility searches with little luck. I don't have a bunch of money to put into it but here is what I've been looking at. I have been very happy with Ubuntu 10.04 lts Lucid 32-bit version and thought I would install the 64-bit version on this. I would like your input on this system. Are there any compatibility problems here?

I have been attempting to get my Brother printer to read on my Ubuntu Maverick 64bit system with nothing but failure. I have downloaded all of the appropriate packages and I am now at the point where I am getting the following msg

I've got a problem with installing 64bit systems on Virtual Box. It is reporting that my 64 bit virtualization abilities (something like v-AMD or so) are present but not enabled. There is also an advice to enable it in the bios but I can't find anything like this actually. My motherboard is Asus M4A88TD-M EVO with quad-core AMD processor. IS there any trick to enable this feature somewhere in the system or it is a limitation of my hardware?
My printer wont work on 64bit ubuntu, no drivers. Just for 32bit so I don't know all the technical stuff to get it to work if there was a way to, but anyways. 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.
I'm trying to set up a share for my system which is dual booting windows 7 64bit and ubuntu 32bit 10.10 What i did
-Install Samba from the Ubuntu software center
- In System->Admin->Samba add the share for my /Home/Downloads
- In smb.conf i edited the workgroup to that of my windows7 workgroup
- In the home folder right clicked on Downloads and in sharing option i allowed others create and delete
privileges and Guest access ( security not an issue). Then allowed Nautilus to add the permissions automatically. Now from what I have seen if i go into windows 7 in the network section i should have a Ubuntu share appearing but i don't. The only devices which show are the router and the computer itself ( of which ubuntu isn't in) Is there anything i missed or how do i access these files ?
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) on my laptop (Toshiba satellite L300 64bit) and have since had horrible issues with the machine overheating. When the system is idle, the temp is decent, a bit warm maybe. If I start browsing the Internet, temp goes way up. I cant watch more than 1 and a half minutes of a ..... video without the system's temp exceeding acceptable limits, and shutting itself down. I have tried both the 32 bit and 64bit versions of ubuntu 10.10, as well as a 64bit version of 10.4. same overheating issues with all of these.
I am 99.999999 percent sure that it is an issue with my laptop's cooling fan, as although it appears to be spinning, it is so quiet that I would think it was off completely if I were to not tilt the laptop back and check to see if it is spinning. Also, the speed of the fan does not change, regardless of the machines temp. Even before it shuts off because of extremely high temps, the fan is still running at that same speed. I am currently downloading fedora 14, a different linux distro, to see if there is any difference.
Just noticed that my kids are no longer able to play webkinz on my 64bit system (Edubuntu). Webkinz also doesn't work on my 64bit Xubuntu system. Looks like 64bit Flash is broken? -- or something is broken between Webkinz and the latest flash. Webkinz, predictably enough, works on Windows, but also works on my 32bit Linux system with the latest flash.Just wondering if any of you out there with a 64bit system could try accessing Webkinz (if you can see the Login moniker and click it, then it's working on your system).
everything else seems well with my FC13-x86-64 except firefox (3.6.4 and earlier versions too) VERY frequently hangs the whole system. only the mouse still working, keyboard not responding to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-function or any other key and even num-lock won't turn the led on. system is still remotely accessible through ssh so I can issue a reboot. same thing may have occurred with thunderbird but only once or twice and probably firefox was also running then. no problems so far with google chrome (but I have no flash plugin for that). FC5-x86-32 on my old PC has never had any of these problems.
which log file should i look at to debug problem with system sleep or anything to do with the system won't return back after goes to sleep.
Basically i got my system running from the night before. No problem until this evening around 5pm. (i realised the problem at 5pm) my monitor goes to sleep. My system power still on. It won't respond to monitor/mouse movement. i can't ssh in.
After reboot, check /var/log/messages. The only message there before reboot was at 9am. I am pretty sure everything worked fine around 2pm.
I was browsing the internet, and while i was loading website, my system hangs. I then goto messages in /var/logs, i get the following messages. What does it mean? This hang occurs once in a while,Also is there a function that could break this hangs by cancel the process (firefox) like Windows "Ctrl-Alt-Del"?

I've managed to get some sound through the system with kernel 2.6.40.1. I use multiple sound cards, I have problems with keeping the same order. I added in etc/modprobe.conf The list of sound devices, putting my D66 card as device 3, Rebooted and cat /proc/asound/cards showed all fore devices in the correct order. I got audio through one of the apps , and started to try and get another ,wsjt, to function.

I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on my machine (I had the same problem with Kubuntu 9.04). The machine is:
- Core 2 Quad 6600 - Nvidia 7600 GS - Two disk seagate 500 in mirroring raid software
When I try to install Kubuntu, after disk partition, my system dosn't see the CD. He tell me to insert disk into drive but I doesn't touch it. I resolved this mounting an external hard disk into /cdrom. After this, the installation continues until the step "select and install software". At this step, the installation procedure tell me an error. During this error, in the other console, I've this:
Code: Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti [Code]....
Is it possible to backup and restore the system files of fedora 10_x86_64 so that if there will be any problem at OS , I can easily recover it from the previous backup files?
I 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.
