Does anyone know how to enable at-spi2 support in emacs?
My understanding is that it doesn't automatically kick in when you start EMACS,
but that there is a module you can load, and that the module is included with
the program or available on the debian / ubuntu packaging.
So far I've
I don't know anything about at-spi2, but...
The 'apropos' command within emacs is useful for poking around as is the
info manuals (C-h i).
You won't see any el files unless you install emacs32-el and you don't need
that unless you are curious. The compiled versions will on your system, so
look
Okay, because I think that Ubuntu 10.10 with Compiz, the cube, wobbly windows
and Gnome 2.x is the epitome of the Linux experience, I've given up on more
recent stuff, and installed 10.10 -- 32-bit -- on my laptop. But I'm a total
btrfs whore, so I installed that (aside from my /boot partition).

Obviously, I think that you are smart enough to find atspi.el here:
http://delysid.org/atspi.el
...and of course the comments in the elisp code list some
dependencies.
After you'll pulled down everything and
It'd take some pretty bizarre build errors to generate a kernel
that describes itself as x86_64 when it isn't. Therefore,
(assuming you're really running in the filesystem that your x86
system was based on) what's likely happening is that the exec()
machinery that allows mixed use of x86 and

I've been 64bit forawhile. What does 32bit do that 64 won't? Besides
browser plugins, though that's gotten beter too.
I installed 11.10 and then installed lxde and lubuntu over it so I didn't
have to learn Unity. There is also xubuntu.
In my case I was debian 6.0x on the server and wanted a

BTW, for recent kernel sources I think the value you wanted to
use for ARCH is i686 rather than i386, even though the latter
may be what the arch command reports.
Well... here's my /usr/src/linux/arch

Lack of 64bit browser plugins (particularly Flash) is a big deal
for some. Adobe's official stance on the matter has been all
over the map (I don't know whether their problem is technical

In fairness, the 64bit Flash plugin I have running with Firefox
right now has actually been quite stable, especially
The '60s vintage CDC machines like the 3600 6500 used 48 bit OSs.

I have seen that in 64-bit Linux, 32-bit processes tend to execute
a bit faster. I've seen a number of cases where 32-bit apps run
faster than their 64-bit version, but I've also seen 64-bit apps
run faster than their 32-bit versions.
