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

[Neo Tom Bombadil]

Hello, I installed ia32 swift weasel using your bash script in 64bit feisty with everything. (flash and java was very easy) I was wondering how I can update swift weasel after its installed in this way. I have 2.0.0.4 and a now there is 2.0.0.6, Do I just install the .deb over the other one? This is probably explained somewhere in this thread but I will post my question anyways. !EDIT! I think i figured out the problem myself, the package swiftweasel32-2.0.0.6_nocona-32bit_ubuntu-AMD64.deb has not been made because it is still in pre-release, i have the older swiftweasel32-2.0.0.4_nocona-32bit_ubuntu-AMD64.deb installed i gather swiftweasel32-2.0.0.5_nocona-32bit_ubuntu-AMD64.deb has bugs so i guess i can wait, please tell me if im right or if theres a work around, thanks. (I'd also like to thank the developer of this project ahead of time for forking such a good browser and kilz for helping people.)

I would just install the new deb and let it replace the old version
swiftweasel32-2.0.0.5_nocona-32bit_ubuntu-AMD64.deb - is a 32bit browser that installs to your amd64 os for the 64bit intel processors.
swiftweasel-2.0.0.6pre_nocona-64bit_ubuntu-AMD64.deb is a 64bit browser that installs to your amd64 os for the 64bit intel processors. But its a pre or beta release.
swiftweasel-2.0.0.6pre_pentium-4_ubuntu-i386.deb? is a 32bit browser for a 32bit os.

I just installed the script for Feisty, and it look liked it finished, but I was under the impression that once it had done so, it would delete the folder that I extracted to the desktop along with finishing.

The real problem though, is that I thought that flash player would work after running this. So things like youtube and other sites still aren't working...

The new script uses a folder in your /temp directory. Are you using Firefox32 to go to Youtube? Secondly, have you closed all other browsers first before starting Firefox32 ?

This script worked like a charm. Just installed FF32 on Feisty and everything appears to be working as advertised.

Thanks a million.

Heya, firstly, thanks for the awesome script, and the dutiful help you've given, I really can't express enough thanks!

But I've run into some trouble and need some assistance. Originally, I was running the 64 bit version of FF on feisty_64 and had everything working (flash with nswrapper) except for java. I found this website and followed the instructions to get a 32bit install of firefox in my /usr/local/firefox32 directory. Everything worked great on that version of FF, except for the mplayer plugin, which shows a gray screen with a MPlayer Plugin, and all it does is buffer, but never plays, and never changes from the gray screen.

I tried changing the permissions on the plugins directory, to no avail, and I tried running your script, which also did not fix the issue. The aboutlugins page shows that the plugin is indeed installed and enabled, just broken I guess. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks a ton!

What script did you run? What options did you select in the script?

Thanx a lot for the author. Its working 100%. Really, a great tutorial.

I am replying to my self to correct my "script". In step (1) above I downloaded and installed the following packages from Feisty Fawn:

sun-java5-bin_1.5.0-11-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sun-java5-jre_1.5.0-11-1ubuntu2_all.deb
sun-java5-plugin_1.5.0-11-1ubuntu2_i386.deb


And not only the sun-java5-jre_1.5.0-11-1ubuntu2_all.deb package as I said before.

best,

Paulo

Kilz,

I don't know the significance of this, but I didn't have esd installed previously. I want to try your script again. Would it hurt to run it after it's already been run?
