EasyUbuntu ( easyubuntu.freecontrib.org ) is a set a program which you install
which then installs the other bits you want. It's an alternative for Automatix
which was mentioned in the previous email.

Do you install Easyububtu as a complete OS or is it grafted onto already installed Ubuntu? John.

Not too easily. Debian/Ubuntu doesn't have biarch (because it's a bad way of doing things anyway), and neither have yet to move to multiarch (though that is coming in Dapper+1, the release due at the end of the year). For 64 bit Intel CPUs, I recommend just using the i386 distro. For actual amd64 it gets harder because they're actually really crap at doing 32 bit. Generally, the best way to do this for the moment is to run a 32 bit chroot, but you'll generally find that enough of the necessary libraries are shipped in the ia32libs package, so just unpack the Skype deb and put it somewhere useful. > I tried to get xine to play a wmv file.

SuSE distribute random Windows DLLs (for which they have no license) in an RPM? Crazy. There are w32codec packages available for Debian and Ubuntu, but *definitely not* distributed by either. There's lots of information about these available on the Ubuntu wiki (or grab EasyUbuntu, which is a sane way of getting some of this naughty stuff onto your system). - Jeff -- FISL 7.0: Porto Alegre, Brazilhttp://fisl.softwarelivre.org/7.0/www/ "Basically my philosophy on release management is that it should be like police brutality." - Maciej Stachowiak -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] ubuntu/debian
Hi in quest of enlightment, I've put aside my biases, installed ubuntu, as recommended for noobies, sorry : After spending the morning fighting the tools: I downloaded skype: dpkg: error processing Desktop/skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) Errors were encountered while processing: Desktop/skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb resolvable? I tried to get xine to play a wmv file. I enabled every repositry and every option. I get (sic): The stream ShazBaz.wmv use an unsupported codec: Video Codec: Windows Media Video 9(WMV3) Start Playing anyway ? Easy with SuSE: install the w32codec-all-20050412-0.pm.0.i586.rpm All is fine. Also, my SuSE amd64 has 32 libs, so it can run 32 apps. Skype don't give any other options. If you go to packman and search for mpg123 he gives mpg321.rpm. This was my hint to get mpg123. The symantic tools do not give any hint. If anybody can point me in the right direction, much appreciated.
