Lack of true Ubuntu 64-bit support for Connect add-in
Dear Adobe,
This well-worn conversation seems to have been asked a few times before, and ignored a few times before, so you'll forgive me for re-opening it again.
I downloaded the 64-bit debian package of your Adobe Connect add-in yesterday from Adobe's website. Here it is sitting on my local disk:
$ ls ~/.shared/
total 540108
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2012-05-31 15:00 ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2012-04-23 22:24 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 540016672 2012-05-27 00:03 temp.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4026194 2012-05-30 22:51 ConnectAddin64.deb
I then installed the package. However, when I tried to join my meeting, before the "Connecting..." screen appears with the progress bar, a blank white page flashed very briefly saying "Adobe Connect add-in not installed". Unsurprisingly, I wasn't able to join my meeting, and your online diagnostics site also confirmed that the add-in wasn't installed in my browser (Firefox 11).
Then, reading other users' tales of woe, I located and analysed the installed binary, and this is what I saw:
$ readelf -h /usr/local/connectaddin
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

This is a 32-bit binary. There is absolutely no mistake about it. And even though it is a GTK binary, it fails to work on a 64-bit system with 32-bit dual support due to the fact it appears to have the search paths to its libraries hard-coded into it:
$ export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
$ ./connectaddin
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed
You notice how GTK_PATH is ignored. The path in the above message is where the 32-bit binary would be sitting if I were on a 32-bit native system. However, as I'm on a 64-bit system, my 32-bit libraries are in:
$ ls /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules

Will somebody please let us users know when Adobe will be (or won't be, for that matter) actually providing a true 64-bit linux version of their Adobe Connect add-in, instead of packaging the 32-bit version of the add-in in an archive that says 64-bit?
Thanks in advance,
That is the last supported player for Linux using the NPAPI. Chrome's new API, PPAPI, is still going to be supported in Linux, Mac and PC OS's and will have the current version of Flash Player for all those OS's.
Here is Adobe's statement regarding Flash Player on Linux OS's.
Adobe wrote:
Linux:
Adobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. The PPAPI, code-named "Pepper", aims to provide a layer between the plug-in and browser that abstracts away differences between browser and operating system implementations. You can find more information on the Pepper API at http://code.google.com/p/ppapi/.
Because of this work, Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a "Pepper" implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser. Google will begin distributing this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux, later this year.
For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the "Pepper" API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.
Flash Player will continue to support browsers using non-"Pepper" plug-in APIs on platforms other than Linux.
Adobe will be providing a debug player implementation of the Flash Player browser plug-in on Linux, and will update this document once there are more details on how it will be distributed.
The full release can be seen here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html

Why doesn't elements 12 have 64 bit support for PC users?
Why doesn't elements 12 have 64 bit support for PC users? Most PC's these days are shipped with far more than 2GB of RAM. This move seems very limiting to those with high demands for RAM. Image sizes are only getting larger meaning more RAM needed for adjustments and editing. I have been putting off buying elements 11 waiting to see if 12 had 64 bit support and I am very disappointed to find it doesn't. I can't see myself buying 12 unless a 64 bit for PC is launched soon.
Update? It's a major release, ain't it?
Mac got the 64-bit. Why? From Pete Green's announcement:
A handful of features from previous versions are not available in Photoshop Elements 12 due to new product support for 64-bit systems.
But, of course, Windows users have no such need... -
Sun Cluster 3.1 64 bit support for Solaris 10
Hi:
I have some questions when migrate SC 3.1 from solaris 9 to solaris 10.
1) Does Clutster 3.1 for solaris 10 support 64 bit?
I have develop own resource type which is compiled with 64 bit mode, while cluster admin program is 32 bit based. E.g. /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm
Will that cause any problem? For instance: 32 bit lib and 64 bit lib have the same name libscha.so will be loaded by 32 bit scrgadm and 64 bit my own developped resource type program.
2) Can I download a Cluster 3.1 install-pkg for solaris 10, 64 bit supported., which means all admin files like scrgadm are 64 bit based.
Or only ONE Cluster 3.1 version for solaris 10 is deliveried by SUN?
Thanks in advance!

//rdctahuHi,
Comments on your 2 questions:
1) Yes. IIRC, SC31 for S10 actually supports ONLY 64 bit. To be clear, this means
Solaris has to be booted in 64 bit mode, but 32 bit applications would run just
fine.
As for your RT being 64 bit, and scrgadm being 32 bit, no problem.
2) See (1). You are good.
Go for it.
HTH,

X64 bit support for Media Manager
Does anyone know when 64 bit support will be written for the Media Manager. I am currently using a work around by setting my phone as an external drive and Windows Media Manager to sync my music, but I would like to use a more intergrated piece of software so that I don't have to do so many different things to customize my Droid X.
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition x64.Hello! This is Noah with Verizon Wireless. Hope you are having a great day!
I apologize but currently there is no information on the release of an update for the V Cast Media Manager software. -
LabVIEW 64-bit support for modules and toolkits
I've just finished installing the 64-bit version
of LabVIEW 2009 under 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. However as noted
above very few toolkits and modules are available for this
version. Some of those MIA include MathScript, VI Analyzer, Advance
Signal Processing Toolkit, etc. I realize development and testing takes
time but think it's reasonable to ask that NI put up a table or chart
of toolkits and modules clearly showing which ones are
available/compatible with 64-bit LabVIEW, as well as timelines for when
these will be available.
(Apologies for cross-posting from the Ideas Exchange but that board doesn't seem to get much traffic...)Hi Magma,
The Vision Development Module is currently the only module available for 64-bit LabVIEW. We currently have not released a timeline for other modules, but we are working on other 64-bit support. The links below summarize the current functionality of LabVIEW 64 bit.

Windows 64 bits support for UCM
Hi.
We are currently preparing a fairly large UCM deployment for one of our customers. This customer requires use of Microsoft Windows on all his servers, preferably the 64 bits flavor. The actual machines are recent 64 bit Xeon boxes.
What is the timeframe, if any, for the availability of a UCM version certified for such a setup?
Thanks for your answer.last time I checked, 64 bit windows support was a pretty low priority. There's little reason why Stellent would require a 64 bit processor... except in rare cases where you need more than 2 GB of RAM to run your system.

Is Windows 7 64 bit support for Oracle Forms and Reports 6i version
Hi All,
Greentings!
Its urgent requirement from customer to Install Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Client software in Windows 7 64 bit OS.
Can any one please help me to download and Install the same. It would be great if you send me the download link and steps to Install.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,

64-Bit Support for the rest of the CC apps?
As I am new to the CC suite, I noticed that not all the app are available in a 64-Bit version. For instance Muse and InDesign are not 64-Bit. Also parts of Adobe Acrobat are still 32-bit like acrotray.exe.
I was wondering if this will be addressed with the relaunch of the CS\CC suite as the new CC suite on June 17th?
If this has already been answered, then I am truly sorry. Thanks in advance for any assistance and answers.@RORWessels – for InDesign CC, yes. It'll be 64-Bit.
See the feature set at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/features.html
But there is still a problem with the advertised feature set:
It should be "IDML" instead of "INX". A typo?
Did Adobe revive INX export? And dropped IDML? (I'm kidding!!)
Maybe it's my browser's cache, but Jongware stated the problem over a week ago at:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1206280?tstart=30
That should be fixed very soon.
For Muse CC I don't see something about beeing 64-Bit:

How do I install Labview 64 bit support for the labview fpga module?
see subject.
Hi,
The LabVIEW FPGA Module uses the 32-bit version of the Xilinx tools, even on the 64-bit OS.
There is no 64 bit version of LabVIEW FPGA and you must have LabVIEW 32 bit
installed on your 64-bit machine to use the compatible version of
LabVIEW FPGA.
NI LabVIEW FPGA Module will run within the 32-bit emulation layer, Windows on Windows (WOW64).

64 bit version of Connect Add-in
After the upgrade to Connect 8 on June 10, I was able to participate with my team in Adobe Connect for a few days, but today, June 14th, I can no longer get in. I get a pop up window with "The selected resource does not exist." I do the connection test and it says that I need to install the add-in, but I am running 64 bit Ubuntu and the add-in for Ubuntu is only 32 bit. Is Adobe going to catch up to 2011 and make a 64 bit version?
The connectaddin in the following packages is exactly the same:
Download Adobe Connect 8 Meeting Add-in for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 32-bit (DEB format, 3.83 MB)
Download Adobe Connect 8 Meeting Add-in for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64-bit (DEB format, 3.93 MB)
I ran md5sum on the connectaddins in both the 32- and 64-bit DEB files, and they both have exactly the same checksum: 3a2ab7aa78b696c87606fdb85b369e4f.
So, the 64-bit DEB file really contains the 32-bit executable. This is a mistake. Please fix this. -
MSI 6321(964D Pro2-IR) 48 Bit support
Is there a bios with 48-bit support for the promise raid controller ?
I changed my 2 60GB disk to 200GB ones and now my raid 0 setup only sees the 130 GB :( making the total raidcluster 260 :(.
I tried adding the promise bios Fasttrack 100 to the bios with CBrom (didn't work).
I tried adding the bios from the TYAN FET (also fasttrack 100 LE) (didn't work)
I tried adding the promise bios Fasttrack 100 EP to the bios with (didn't work).
An external controller option is a little bit problematic becouse i don't have a spare pci slot.According to http://www.asisupport.com/msi_48bit_hdd.htm Bios version 5.3 should have 48Bit supprt. That's nice . Bit that doesn't include the promise controller ofcourse.
If I would have a bios of the FASTTRACK 100 Lite which supports 84Bit LBA then I could make my own bios. -
Flex/ActionScript3 support for web services using WS-Security
Does Flex/ActionScript3 have support for connecting to a web
service using WS-Security (Policy Creation). I've tried using the
Flex Data Service "Import WSDL" method and it does not allow me to
connect. Is there Flex/AS3 package that can handle creating the
Policy information for a web service that utilizies WS-Security?
Thanks,
Tomquote:
Does Flex/ActionScript3 have support for connecting to a web
service using WS-Security (Policy Creation).
Yes and no. The "Import WSDL" doesn't create AS3 classes that
allow header injection of the appropriate WS-Security elements.
I've managed to work around this using straight mx:webservice tags
and AS3. There is an open bug at
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15398
that I voted on, the more the merrier.
http://www.jroller.com/wookets/entry/ws_security_in_flex
Has a useful class for creating the soap header elements for a
username token,
In general though, it's been a challenge to get the simplest
of WS-Security pieces working.

Hi, i know that the lack of the driver rtl8187 is a known issue, i've an Alfa Usb wifi adapter Awus036h whch loses the connection each times i start a download. I've tried following the commands written on the Wiki but with no results. I fixed the problem only on Arch i686 using ndiswrapper and Windows Xp_32 bit driver for the adapter (on Arch x86_64 i get a kernel panic with the same driver of Wind_64bit).
I noticed that using Ubuntu there isn't this problem and i don't get any disconnection. Maybe due to the differences between the two kernels, but how can we get the Ubuntu's advantages of rtl8187 into Arch too?
Thanks, Marco
Last edited by toketin (2012-11-10 22:23:46)Hi Marco,
Same issues here.. Rtl8187 is driving me mad
Did you make any progress on Arch x86_64 and ndiswrapper?
I'm currently using rtl8187 from compat-wireless-snp AUR package. Seems to work a bit better than kernel stock.
Also, i noticed, setting :
sudo iwconfig [w_iface] retry 255
greatly imporves rtl8187 behaviour..
Cheers!
