64 bit noob wants a 32 bit app... [SOLVED...for now!]

I got the following when trying to install Google Earth:
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.1.3533.1731...............................................................
./setup.sh: line 216: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: No such file or directory
./setup.sh: line 216: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk: No such file or directory
The setup program seems to have failed on amd64
Fatal error, installer failed to run at all!
Is this just a question of trying to run a 32 bit app on a 64 bit OS?  And, if it is, how do I solve it?  Can I just install 32 bit libs (and which ones?) or must I do a 32 bit chroot for this...that seems rather a drag!  I've read the 64 fit FAQ, and can manage the chroot if I must...but it just seems like a lot of trouble.
thanks,
dave

I'm guessing you're not yet familiar with the AUR? Read up about it, then install this.
Thanks, tomk,
I'm almost there.  Have read up on AUR, installed all the dependencies (I thought...at least, I installed all those on the page you sent me to, I was still missing
Targets (2): lib32-libxfixes-4.0.4-1 lib32-libxdamage-1.1.2-1
) downloaded the tarball, unzipped it, ran makepkg...and exit with "no permission to create directory src in bin32-google-earth...etc."
this was makepkg -s, with my password for sudo to work...no luck.
so I checked up on fakeroot...and found that it appeared to be enabled in makepkg.conf...so ran makepkg without "-s" and got the same error.... 
Thought I would be smart and just go ahead and make the directory /bin32-google.../src myself...and obviously didn't give it the right permissions, since when I ran makepkg again...still no luck, though the error has changed from can't create directory to can't download files into this directory...I can change that, too, but why is the fakeroot trick (or sudo, for that matter...) not working.  (It occurs to me that I may not be in sudoers...but I can fix that...and fakeroot ought to work anyway, shouldn't it?)
many thanks, we're almost there and I'll be a little smarter for next time.

  • [Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

    EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
    Hi there guys,
    I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
    This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
    Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
    So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:
    Systemctl output:

    This one being the wireless controller:

    If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
    Thanks so very much everyone,

  • Not able to install BB Link - maybe solved for now

    Hi Guys, 
    first - please excuse my english if there are maybe some mistakes, it´s not my foreign language - i´m from Germany and want to give some response for all of those, who got the problem with the install-problem for this software.
    I also got the problem with different errors while trying to install the actual version of link on my computer (Win 7 64bit).. I´ve got a previous version of linked installed while trying to update - main error during the installation was the missing network source - the installer meant. 
    I´m working in the 2nd-Level IT-Support, so sometimes i know what to do..  
    After many many tries and searching for potential solutions in different forums i got the following solution:
    A clean deinstallation of the previous version is highly recommended. If you are not able to deinstall it through the control panel, try to uninstall it with a different uninstaller - in my case the IObitUninstaller from PortableApps was helpful. http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/iobit_uninstaller_portable 
    It used to try the normal Deinstallation, when this is not successfull he is looking for another way where you´ll get listed all of the link files on your installation folder and your registry - try to deinstall it that way (be careful, backups are usefull..). If this also doesn´t work - give the microsoft fixit install and install tool one try - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall - i´ve got this link from another thread here. 
    Somehow this wasn´t the complete solution. After the Deinstallation (i suggest that one of these should be successful) the latest version doesn´t like to install. Different errors on my machine, f.e. network source not available, another try got the respond "there´s already another installation running" .... and many more .. forced me to check the possible reasons. With the process explorer i checked the running tasks - there was the windows installer still running some kind of installation of link.... try to kill these tasks (in my case this wasn´t successful - they are restarting immediately) - maybe you´re luckier then me. If it won´t work - Reinstallation of the installer is a possible solution. The Way you could to that you´ll find here: http://www.optimize-your-pc.org/fix-windows-installer-error-1719 - please be careful if you try to use the reg-tweak as described. It is also possible that you´re not able to find the key described /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT CONTROL SET\SERVICES\MSIserver\WOW64)- don´t worry ´bout that. I also needed to reinstall the installer. 
    at least - the source file i´ve downloaded also does not work. Tried to download it a few times and the installation still didn´t work. After that i tried to use an alternate Source for downloading. 
    After all these steps i was able to install it in the latest version. 
    maybe this helps the people with the same problem out there. 
    Thx for reading, over and out.

    Dankeschon !

  • 64bit Adobe Square & Hulu playback issues [SOLVED] for now

    Back in mid September, I installed Adobe's flash player "Square" preview release. All was good including perfect Hulu playback.
    As of this weekend, Hulu wouldn't play, and without a message as to why.
    And yes, I'm aware of, and experienced the Hulu playback issue with the prior test version Adobe had available prior to Square.
    Square fixed Hulu playback for me, but just temporairly.
    Anyone else having this issues or is it just my system?
    Version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 d161

    Found this:   http://forums.adobe.com/thread/738761?tstart=0
    Apparently, RTMPE isn't functional yet, which Hulu now requires.
    Hulu and Amazon which depends on RTMPE aren't currently functioning because there are some 64-bit libs that need to be integrated into the branch.  That particular bug is set ToFix, but i can't speak to the timing.
    Encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE or RTMPTE) is a proprietary protocol created by Macromedia used for streaming video and DRM. It reportedly allows secure transfer of data without SSL. It is implemented in flash player 9.0.115 and some versions of Flash Media Server 3.
    And this:   http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1403271
    Re: flash-plugin-10.2.161.23-1.x86_64.rpm
    As of yesterday, Hulu is blocking the 64-bit plugin again.
    This time it doesn't even give an error message, the video window just doesn't display.
    I've gone back to the 32-bit plugin, which still works there.
    Interesting, Hulu is blocking both 32- and 64-bit Linux versions of Square,
    even though the release notes say that only 64-bit versions fail to support content protection.

  • Time Capsule internet drop-out problem.... Solved (for now....?)

    I am new here, but i would like to share my experiences with a problem a lot of people seem to have here aswell.
    I got home last week after being abroad for work for two days, and noticed i couldn't get on the internet again. My system uses an iMac, TC and an internet modem i got from my ISP, which is a Motorola modem.
    Hooked the TC up to the modem via ethernet and this has been working without a glich for about 2 years now. I first noticed the problem on my iPhone which was unable to get on the internet. Connected to the network just fine, but no internet. Very strange, as i had a solid green light on my TC.
    Checked the internet on my iMac, and i found the same problem. Did a reset on the TC and the modem, and things seemed to be ok again. But.... after about 20mins. internet was not working any more again. By now i was getting rather frustrated, because in the AirPort Utility it said everything was working the way it should, including a solid green light on the TC.
    Been going over everything i could think off. Soft reset, hard reset, going back to factory settings, resetting the modem. Just resetting the modem, just resetting the TC, resetting both at te same time. Nothing seemed to work, the problem kept coming back! Downgraded the software on the TC, upgraded again. Nothing.
    Strange thing was, i hooked up my computer via ethernet directly to the cable-modem and internet was just fine, so no problem there, which was confirmed when i called my ISP (which is great... as long as there is no problem)
    After 3 days i finally called Apple, and they were ok to help me. For free just for once (next time i will have to pay 49euros!!) and told him about my problem. He gave me all suggestions i already tried, except changing channels on the TC.
    After the call i tried doing that, going from channel 1 to 6, but still... after 20 - 30 mins. internet would drop.
    But.... i put it on channel 7 and for now it is working great again. (no loss of internet for about 36hours!!)
    This seems to be THE solution for my problem. Apparently, one of my neighbours put up a device which was interfering with the signal of my TC, which caused all my problems!
    For now i am really happy everything is back, up and running and i thought i just let you all know about my problems, and solution, because this forum has been a great help!
    And... before i forget.... i am running firmware 7.3.2 now... because i read a lot of problems about 7.4.1 and things are running great for me now !!
    Hope this little story can help someone else..... try change the channels TC is working on !!
    Good luck to you all!

  • [SOLVED for now] Suspend-to-RAM broken - immediately turns on again

    Hi everyone,
    Susped-to-RAM was working flawlessly on my lenovo IdeaPad S12 Netbook until recently:
    When I Suspend-to-RAM (via KDE) the system apparently suspends correctly but then it instantly turns back on. So the problem is not that I cannot suspend but rather that the system turns back on immediately after suspending. Usually the system could only be turned back on by pressing a button on the keyboard or the power button (not by moving the mouse or opening the laptop lid).
    I unplugged all attached devices, including mouse, keyboard, power supply and network but that doesn't help.
    I'm pretty clueless what could cause this and would be happy if someone could point me in some direction. This used to work until recently but I don't know what update broke it.

    Update:
    The system stays asleep when I unload the ehci_hcd and ohci_hcd before suspending (unloading just ehci_hcd as suggested on other sites doesn't work).
    So some kind of usb device seems to trigger the wakeup. As I said before I don't have any usb devices plugged in, though.
    Since unloading the usb drivers is not very convenient I would really like to find out what exactly causes the wakeup. I don't really have a clue where to start, though.
    I use a script to unload ehci_hcd automatically when I suspend (my issue is slightly different, it doesn't immediately come back, it just doesn't finish suspending and gets stuck on a black screen)
    I'd imagine a script someone similar to this would work:

  • Installation problems solved for XP SP2 systems.

    I've been pulling my hair for days trying to install SC2, but had no luck.
    The installation process DOES have a bug. Use the following tactic in addition to disabling any firewalls and virus programs:
    Right-click on the installer file and select 'Compatibility' . Click 'Run this program in compatibility mode:'. Finally, simply select Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5) mode.
    Problem solved for now. Hope this helps.

    This is very interesting akian ty - I will definitely try this at the weekend. I can install and run on a laptop with XP SP2 - and it had previous versions installed on it. However on the desktop PC I have not been able to install.

  • My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.
