    Determining 64bit processes in Gnome

    Hi folks,

    I have hardy x64 and I see the gnome process monitor does not indicate which processes are 32bit versus 64 bit native.

    How do I easily tell which is which?

    Thanks

    Guessing here, but if you are running the 64bit version of Ubuntu, I believe all the processes are 64bit. With few exceptions (like proprietary binaries, eg. Acrobat Reader, Adobe Flash) the applications were all compiled in a 64bit environment using 64bit libraries.

    64bit

    Thanks - I think the firefox browser is compiled 32bit.

    In Vista it shows whats 32 in the task manager.

    Not overly important but I was curious - maybe the feature isnt in the gnome sys mon?

    I think Quelx is correct. Unless you've got a 32 bit application installed then most will be 64 bit (yes even firefox will be 64 bit if it's from the repo's )

    Firefox comes installed with ubuntu. Did you by any case compile a newer version of FF?
