32-bit problems with nvidia packages
Hello list, I need to use some 32-bit applications on my amd64 system. These are 3d- accelerated. But it looks lioke there is a bug in the packages. When I for example start googleearth, it starts, but I cannot see the planet. This problem exists since the change to multiarch. However, when I install the installer from Nvidia site (NVidia-bla*.run), and say, to install the 32-bit libs, too, during that install process, verything is working fine. I could do so and do not use the debian packages, but I think, you might want to get this fixed. Sadly the latest Nvidia modules cannnot be build with kernel 3.10 (I mean now those from the NVidia-bla*.run installer). The debian nvidia-kernel module of course can be build (using dkms). I think, I did not miss some libs, these are installed: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia glx-alternative-nvidia install libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 install libxvmcnvidia1:amd64install nvidia-alternative install nvidia-driver install nvidia-glx install nvidia-installer-cleanupinstall nvidia-kernel-commoninstall nvidia-kernel-dkms install nvidia-support install nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia install And of course my system is multiarch. Jus got problems with the nvidia- packages. There is already a bugreport relatd to this, but can't remember the number, sorry. Can someone else either report, if he is managed to run it on a 64-bit system and how he did? Or confirm my problem somehow? Would be nice, so I can look, what the reason for this behavior is.

Re: 32-bit problems with nvidia packages
Hi Hans, Is it possible that you have some version creep? I had this on my multiarch sid system. There was a bug which made all of the VTs disappear. The quick fix was to upgrade a few of the packages (including nvidia-glx, iirc) to the version from experimental. Well, a few weeks ago, I upgraded and it broke several things, including my cisco anyconnect client, whch I only had in 32bit. Downgrading everything to the same version (304.88 in sid, which I believe is supposed to be a long-term support release of that driver) fixed things quite handily.

No, I don't think so. The problem appeared first at multiarch. It was when I removed ia32-libs* out of the way. Since that day, the problem appeared. It is not only googleearth, which face this, it is also other 32-bit apps, that make problems. With googleearth the problem is good to see: When everything is running fine, the earth appears, if not, you get a gray background. My 32-bit flight simulator (X-Plane) for example, does not start, too. And notice: The problem does NOT appear, when I install using NVidia's installer! So the problem MUST be in the 32-bit part of debian packages. As I said, there WAS a bugreport related to this, but maybe it is closed meanwhile. If not, hope some developer might be reminded at this. Best Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
