[ Closed ] 64bit testing (Page 1 of 7)

Thanks Philip!

If I get around to it, I might install this, replace lxpanel with newest version from source, and remastersys the whole thing if anyone wants a live disc, though no promises it will contain everything, since I like keeping testing versions on cd rather than DVD (about 20p less wasted )

I need to get my USB drive back *shakes head*

anyway, if I get around to it, I'll do a remastersys (seemingly one of my favourite ubuntu packages atm, and it's not even in the main repo's!!!)

Once I get all my stuff to germany I'll definitely give it a try.

@Francis: thank you for testing this and providing feedback, it is really appreciated. I will look into the WinFF issues. Please do not hesitate to report any other problems!

@iggykoopa: how is the move going? I hope it has not been too stressful.

Hi Phillip,
64 bit CrunchBang up and running here.
No problems at all with the install on top of 64 bit Ubuntu Minimal.
Well done and thank you.
Kevin

Thanks Phillip, had some spare time this afternoon so i gave this a go.

I used the Ubuntu 64 bit (Minimal)

Following your instructions above went like a dream, now typing this from the new install.

Loaded and running per instructions and appears to be running fine.  Only one issue I've run into so far.

Because of my USB speakers I require pulseaudio and after loading pulseaudio, my sound now works, but I get an error:

jake@cbl-64:~$ pulseaudio
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
W: alsa-util.c: Device surround41:3 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL surround41:3

As I've said, my sound works, but when running the 32 bit version, I didn't have this error.  After checking for dependencies, I am still researching the issue and will report back if I find anything.

P.S.  Thanks for the 64 bit version.

Running it right now.  The install was great and I have had zero problems so far.  I'll report if I run into anything.

THANK you Philip!  I am now running #! on four machines.

got it working with no problems on my desktop-computer (C2D 8500, ASUS P5QL, 4 GB RAM,  EN9400, 74GB raptor)

tip: do not install the mini-iso while slightly intoxicated: I've installed grub onto my USB-drive instead of my harddrive 2 times in a row.

will install it later on my laptop too.

Good tip!

Sorry about that, though better late than never. 

Nobody has reported any issues with Skype so far. There is the issue with lxpanel which I mentioned and the known issue with WinFF.

Hello friends ! There is a strange issue for me with fontypython. At the first launch from the menu nothing happened. I used teminator and the program ran, but with this message in the terminal:
"no configuration file detected, creation with the default parameters" (translated from french).
The second time I used fontypython with the menu, it ran well.
Has someone an idea about this? Maybe the "fp.conf" missing...

I'm using #! 8.10.03 64 bits. I think I will never go back to 32 bits system

A+
Francis.

Hmm, I am not too sure what happened there, the script is definitely named as stated. Either way, thank you for testing and providing feedback.

I had a test install of jaunty kubuntu and ran the script from there...worked fine as far as I can tell so you shouldn't have too many problems upgrading for it...I guess I'm now running an unofficial 9.04.3
