Thanks! This is the only way I got java to work on my 64 bit system. Hopefully a true 64 bit implementation will be out soon. How come I can't officially thank you for this post? Does that feature only work on newer posts?

Hi and thanks for this guide. Since you updated it only 10 days ago, I tried using your Hardy script to install 32-bit firefox on my systemso that I could use Java (since Sun doesn't yet fully support 64-bit systems for applets or webstart), but Gdebi gives me an unresolvable dependency error message for this file:
ia32-lib-firefox
Any clues on where I could find it? It's no longer in any repositories, not even backports.
Cheers,
Z.
hey bro thx for the how-to!!! everything is fine ecxept some icons inside firefox is missing!!! tried everything...but no luck...! luks kinda uglyy...plz help me..
did it on hardy and had no problems! thanks!
Never mind...
This link http://home.comcast.net/~ubuntu64user/ia32-lib-firefox-amd64.deb
solved my dependency problems.
Cheers,
Z.
Wow this finally solved the issue where Facebook's pictures uploader wouldn't work with IcedTea java.
Worked perfectly in Hardy x64.
I have a problem with accessing SSL VPN java applets for my work. I turned logging and trac on in my Java (32-bit) Control panel. I think the key message from a trace file which is prohibiting me from going forward is:
security: Accessing keys and certificate in Mozilla user profile: null
security: JSS is not configured
I get the same behavior under firefox32 (2.0 and 3.0), Swiftweazel (current default) and IceCat (I tried em all!)
This is my setup:
Dell XPS M1330 Intel Duo-Core 64-bti with Hardy 8.04 (all updates - little customization except this beautiful script provided on this topic.
Used install script in ff32_3in1_6292.tar.gz and firefox32-3.0-ubuntu_7.10-8.04_amd64.deb for ff3.0

I got this message when installing Swiftweasel32 on an Intel Processor (E6850 Duo) in Gusty 7.10:
(Reading database ... 143615 files and directories currently installed.)

The install script command that seems to be the problem is:
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/ff32/gsfonts-x11_0.20build1_all.deb
Swiftweasel32 works fine, the fonts look different than firefox32.
I am not sure how to fix this (simply creating the /usr/lib/X11/fonts and /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 directory does not help).
Actually, I don't think the above message is an indication of anything wrong. I turned on logging on a working 32-bit ubuntu 8.04 desktop and I get the same message, yet authentication occurs later on. Since I started off by installing 64-bit Sun java 6, I'm wondering if I have some 64-bit remnants lying around. How can I be sure ALL my java elements are 32-bit? Specifically, if I go into synaptic, and search "java" what are the minimum set of packages I should see?
I trust Microsoft as far as I could comfortably spit a dead rat
