Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64

It sounds like mplayer was not installed. open synaptic and see if it is.

That was my idea, too. (My only idea.)
I have mplayer32 installed. There's no mplayer to install. There's a kmplayer, that is not installed, but i'm in GNOME. Should i install that?
I have allowed all sources.

If you dont see mplayer you dont have the Multiverse enabled. You may have to enable it and the universe, there is a link at the top of the main howto page. If you added them , you may need to reload if you havent already.

Thanks. I thought, that if i check all the boxes i enable everything.
Now i installed mplayer, but seems like it is not working well.

W. Media Player video: this is quite good, the sound is ok, but sometimes the picture becomes cloudy or some ghosts are in the backround. Then it becomes good again.
I checked my favourite online radio. It says it is downloading something, but stops surprising fast, but no sound. Sometimes it is even freezing my browser. (.ram file)
I checked the test you suggest with the movie trailers. The first 2 seconds were OK, but then it was extremely slowly buffering. And sometimes even freezed my browser.
There are no control buttons.

awsome

nothing (except steam games) is holding me to XP anymore....

[tkrisz]

Hmmm...
I downloaded that wmv file.
It is the same with Xine, Gxine, MedaPlayer and Mplayer.
However i checked it on XP and i experienced no problem there.
Do you have idea where can the problem be?

Lots of pages to read through so I am being lazy. I have a problem . When I install firefox32 using your script, I no longer have access to firefox 64bit. No big deal I guess but synaptic keeps asking me to update ia32-libs-gtk. I did this last night and today only 64bit firefox was working even when i made sure I clicked the 32bit icon. No matter what I do, 64bit FF comes up. So..I redid the install and now like I said, no 64bit FF and I am getting asked to update again. Any idea's?
