That is interesting. You could team up with michael37 to provide the option to install the 64bit, if you do not already provide this functionality (I haven't tested your tool). This would save a lot of time for lots of users.

Now I see in the pic that you provide an option to install the 64bit. Nice work.

Why don't you get it to only display the right architecture button?

some people prefer nspluginwrapper. still wanna give them some choice if they really wanna install it 32 bit, since x64 is still a bit buggy.

however, if the plugin matures, I shal consider making only one button.

if im missing any, let me know

Correct me if I am wrong - I do not do any shell coding - but isn't gksudo used to start graphical applications that would require root rights? Like say

gksudo synaptic

?

This is a nice idea of yours, hope it helps newbies. Speaking of which, why don't you post this in the beginners section?

cause it still in testing. (I just noticed I named a window wrong... which made the removal button not work)
im using gksudo, becasue theirs no way for the user to enter their password other than gksudo.
still works though

however, if a mod sees these words and would like to move this to the beginners section, ill be more than happy for it to reside there

carlee: Thank you very much! I'm a newbie and while I want to learn it all eventually, it was nice to have your tool make my initial setup easy.

I'm no newbie, but this just made my life so damn easy. Are you accepting marriage proposals?
