Ubuntu :: Wrong Architecture 'i386' Error On A 32-bits System?
Jun 16, 2011
I am having a rather odd problem on my Ubuntu 11.04 installation on a 32-bits Intel Core 2 Quad system. When I try to install packages that are not in the repositories, I keep getting the message " Wrong architecture 'i386' " in the Ubuntu Software Center. I have downloaded several packages for 32-bits systems and get the same error every time, for instance., with the Linux 32-bits Debian package for Teamviewer.
In addition to the PC, I have a laptop with an amd64, and I have transfered the pkglist from that machine to my PC to get the same environment. Could that cause any problems of the sort above?
osdlyrics_0.3.20100604-1~lucid1_i386.deb Ubuntu x86 32 bit deb package for Ubuntu 10.04 or later wont install. I'm running ubuntu 10.4 64bit. My question is why you can't install 32bit programs on a 64bit system? If you can then how do I do it? 64bit should run 32bit due to the resin that a 16bit system ran 8bit games/programs. I know in window 7 you can install 32bit programs on 64bit system.
I am running ubuntu 10.04 on an amd 64bit laptop.Trying to run the deb file provided but is mentioned when opened in GDebi package manager that "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" which makes sense. There is not 64bit version. But provides the following instructions.

DEBIAN or UBUNTU users that prefer Debian Package (deb) =================================================
1. Download GimPhoto 1.4.3 for Linux Debian Package (deb), from this locations: GimPhoto 1.4.3 Debian Package (deb)
2. Install it using Gdebi OR Double-click it from Nautilus. For user with 64 bits system that using Debian Package (DEB) follow instructions below
"I'm running GimPhoto on my 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 as of today. In order to get it to run, you have to use the force command from Terminal, like this:
The correct path/location is critical. I always download everything into a "media" folder. Keep this in mind for your own installation ... your path has to be 100% correct." When I open a terminal and cd to my downloads folders, and run the following.

I just got done installing ubuntu 9.04 and i went to firefox typed in myspace.com, noticed i need plug ins for adobe flash player went to install it 3 times and kept getting this Error: Wrong architecture 'i386', even tryed other plug ins and got same thing..
I was following a simple tutorial on how to program and compile a hello world program using assembly when I got this error;Quote:ld: i386 architecture of input file `hello.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output.The tutorial told me to make two files;Quote:hello.asmsection .data;section declaration

I have built the linux-image deb using uclibc as cross compiler but I failed to install the package to the root file system on my CF card. It shows the following ERROR message : Code: dpkg: error processing linux-2.6.26_2.6.26-1_uclibc-linux-i386.deb (--install) : Package architecture (uclibc-linux-i386) does not match system (i386) Errors were encountered while processing : linux-2.6.26_2.6.26-1_uclibc-linux-i386.deb
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit and now I am trying to install/configure MFC-7420 scanner part (printer works fine)I tried to follow the steps listed at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590793.html, but I don't have etc / udev / rules.d/45-libsane.rules file to edit and can not continue with the remaining steps of the guide.
I also tried to follow the steps provided by the Brother Solution Center http:[url].... I have downloaded brscan2 64 bit and installed without error but when I tried to install the brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb using >sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb I get the following error:

Which dependencies am I missing? or What am I doing wrong?
I was installing this AMBER software on my 64-bit Linux redhat laptop. It gave me this error when I compiled it.

I went to the /usr/bin directory and saw all these executables including "ld", must've been installed by the IT people before they gave me the laptop. What are these files for? Is there a way to update them to x86-64 version?
Trying to install draftsight on my 64 bit 10.10 system to give it a try. I do solid modeling work for a living (Inventor/Solidworks) and have to use Autocad. Ran across this program a month or so ago and really like it. Much less bloated that AC but does a nice job in the 2d world for a basic program. The package installer gives me a wrong architecture message (see attached). I think I had to change that to get adobe AIR installed and wonder if its possible to do the same here.
I clicked on i386 instead of x86 64. The box is laptop AMD64, and I stopped the upgrade at this point: Should I continue it and change later? Or delete files and start again?
Installed 6.01a from DVD 1 on a system with 4GB ram. Installer installed amd64 version by default. When I try to install amd64.deb files I get "wrong architecture" error messages from the package manager. root@Laptop-RalphDeb:/home/ralphq# uname -r 2.6.32-5-amd64 root@Laptop-RalphDeb:/home/ralphq# uname -p unknown Why I can install amd64 programs and why I get unknown for the uname -p command?
I got heekscad_0.10.1-svn974_i386.deb to install on a Kubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic. 64 bits version not found. [URL] Of course I could compile ... If I knew where to find the source and the makefile...
when I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?
I am wondering if I can install a 32 bits guest Windows XP in VirtualBox in my 64 bits Ubuntu Natty host? I need a 32 bits Windows to run some programs.
I'm quite new to linux and I recently (and courageously) upgraded the computer of my work from opensuse 11.0 32bits to opensuse 11.2 64bits.
Well, everything would be quite fine except that I still have some softwares 32 bits that have the 64 bits version available. I know that because, using YaST, I can see by the Installed software section that there are 'choices' of versions for some programs; these versions are 'i586' and 'x86_64', and many of them have the i586 version installed.
So, I wonder if there is some type of auto upgrade all programs which are i586 and have the matching x86_64 avaliable...
I've been running Fedora 10 since it came out (I'm doing some numerical modeling for my thesis), but I've got some questions about a new box I'm going to build. I am going to build a new 64bit machine, dual boot with Win7 and Poseidon Linux (waiting for the 64bit version to come out later this year).is there an advantage to having each OS reside on a different physical HDD? meaning - 1 hard drive for Win and 1 hard drive for Linux and just decide which HDD to boot when I turn the machine on. -or is it better to have them reside on the same HDD and just have a separate HDD for data / storage? -is there a good resource to describe some optimal architecture's? I've searched through the forums and haven't found anything that concise / on-target / similar. As additional info: this box will be my livelihood, so right now, money is not really an object in terms of HDDs, etc.
What are the challenges that are involved in porting an Operating system to a new architecture? Say I want to port linux to new architecture called XYZ, what are the things that should be taken care of?
I just create a vm image with 2 CPUs to be used on a one CPU machine. it works great. Now, i am thinking about creating a 64 bits Redhat VM image to be run on my 32 bits machine. Is that possible?
I have downloaded Fedora 11 x64, and I went to the adobe website and downloaded the tar.gz file for flash player. I went into the terminal to untar the file and after I did that I tried to install it and got this error :
ERROR: Your architecture, 'x86_64', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer. What does this mean? My dad could get his to install but his is 32 bit.Do I have to wait until the full version is out?
Ubuntu in Windows 7 (64 bits) File system installed using Wubi I got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS intalled using Wubi. That means Ubuntu resides inside Windows file / folder system. It also means Ubuntu does not have its own partition. Here is what I found out:
1) It cannot detect wireless network unlike Win 7 on this same laptop. However, when I plug in ethernet cable, it was able to detect it. Is there a fix this problem?
2) I cannot see Windows folders. How do access windows folder from Ubuntu side and vice versa?
3) I forgot to set the disk space for Ubuntu during install and I think the default is 17 GB.Would this cause me problems? If so, what do I need to do? How do I expand the disk space for Ubuntu?
I am trying to install NS-2.1b9a in Fedora 8.0. I have already installed gcc-3.3 and made new link to the newly installed gcc. I used patch made for NS-2.1b9a (found in [URL]...-8-ubuntu.html) to install in Fedora 8.0. Now, when I run ./install I get follwoing error.
