Still doesn't work.

Code:

# apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk gsfonts gsfonts-x11 linux32

ia32-libs is already the newest version.
Package ia32-libs-gtk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:

gives me the first problem here.
Seems like it doesn't find the packages in the default repositories. Where can I find the right ones I need to add?

I've got the 64-bit version of Kubuntu 6.06 (dapper) installed freshly on an AMD Sempron 2600.

OK, think I fixed it by uncommenting some repos in /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code:

deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted

XChat is an IRC chat program. You cant use the web page address for the chat room server. The pages you linked to before have forums. You might want to post there, expalin that you have problems accessing the chat on the web page, and ask them for the chat servers address.

I have done a little more investigation. Flash uses oss where other programs use asla. This

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

should fix the problem.

This worked perfectly, untill I restarted. After I restarted it was the exact same as Firefox 64-bit. I know the pointer is selected for the 32 bit version.
