how to: chroot 32bit
Hello, I wanted to point out that I had (still have) some problems to UNDERSTAND the how to-instructions to set up a chroot-environment for the 32bit applications. There is the possibility of mounting it. Which instructions should be left out, if I don't want have it mounted? Why not add a valid /etc/sources.list for the 32bit applications? (Just to start easily; who then knows better can always use a better one) For example, I could not find the package libx11-6. The command chroot /var/chroot/sid-ia32 is twice on that page. Didn't I already chroot? Is it needed twice? Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: how to: chroot 32bit (forgot one thing)
Hi again, I forgot one question: You also need a link to your 32bit linker in the /lib path. Change in to directory /lib and create a link to the 32bit linker library of your chroot: (The name of the 64bit linker is ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) According to the instructions I entered the chroot. Do I have to exit the chroot, or not? Why not write down the complete command, so newbies (like me) can just copy and paste the command?

desktop problems
Hello, I don't know why, I logged off saving my session. When I logged on again I got a error message that a program (aMule) was not able to be opened automatically. Then I discovered that my desktop had disappeared. No background image (just a dizzy grey), no possibility of clicking with the right mouse button to open the menu (useful for opening a terminal etc.), no wastebasket, no folders. I guess/hope it won't be difficult to restore it or to uninstall-reinstall it, but I don't know where to start. Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
