Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
Hi Andrew, hello *, I know, that the packge manager pull down the 64-bit version, if they exist. But I assume, that the package manager will get the 32-bit version if this is the only one of the package. So to be more precisely: 1.) Does all the maintainers of the various packages needed for lubuntu- desktop (lxde-..., pcmanfm, osmo, deadbeef, ...) provide 64-bit versions? 2.) If some components are only provided as 32-bit, are there any concerns about such a mixed-system?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
Hi, we seem to have lost where lubuntu 10.04 actually got up to. Stable == Not crashing every 5 minutes. Beta == Not a finished product. As it was not even launched as 'RC' (Release Candidate) The reason you say it behaves as a 'beta' is because that is exactly what it is. IMHO, considering the 'fun' that was caused by Service Pack 2 for Windoze XP (I also spell it the same way, but we get told off for that on the forums, M$ is not allowed either) which was a full release that people paid good money for, says a lot for the team being completely honest and open about the state of development when April arrived. As for regressions, I hope you are on the mailing list for Meerkat, I thoroughly enjoyed the Lynx one even though most of the stuff was way beyond my technical expertise. You get to see 'old' bugs resurfacing and patches being removed as people have time to re-write sections of code more fully. An example to me of how the very small team for lubuntu operates is easily shown when the author of pcmanfm basically tore up all the code and started again. It takes a 'big man' to appreciate they're boxing themselves into a corner re-hashing the lot. As a further example of how bugs re-surface, go take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/529794?comments=allI'm still wondering how they broke it, not only in the testing cycle for 10.04, but managed to break it, retrospectively in 9.10.

BUT what they WILL see, what will stick out like a sore thumb, is the elements of the distro that were neglected and are still buggy. Don't be naïve: 64bit DOES require extra human resources - there is a lot of debugging and fixing to do, because once it is recompiled in 64, strange things happen... and when you run those 32 bit apps on a 64 bit OS, you'll slow down anything that is not the new generation intels of this year (not exactly the crowd that would want lubuntu anyways). (It's the same problem as we had with .com versus .exe program files in DOS and Windoze (I just like to call it windoze) - many were not compiled so they still need an interpreter, because after compilation they may not have been as stable. Otherwise everything would have been compiled on that platform.) And btw, all the apps we need are not all available in 64 bit. Skype for one, Gimp, and many others as well.

I feel humbled by your eloquent way of defusing a situation that threatens to get out of hand. A bright mind you are. BTW, we can use the term windoze on the forums and anywhere else we please, because the trademarks that Microsoft has the rights to are MS, XP, Microsoft, Windows and the like, not multiple sclerosis, not microsoot, not windoze... Of course, you will always see marketing people, and professional public relationists, hired by the powers that be, use intimidation and any other ways, on forums and anywhere else, as part of the company's overall marketing and image campaign... generously funded I need not add. (which may even include threats made to forum owners... Ironically, if you study the other kind of IP (as in intellectual property), you will notice that whenever we do use the proper trademarked terms, they COULD hit us legally for not including the mention windows is a registered trademark of microsoft corporation each and every time we write it... and we don't see them doing that now, do we? because then everyone would start using the term windoze to avoid such legal enforcement.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
Here are my two cents: 1. Compiling for 64-bit will make executable binaries bigger and takes more disk space 2. because of #1, 64-bit apps uses more memory, but the difference is minimal 3. the performance of most apps are bound to I/O and mainly affected by speed of hard drives and internet transmission speed, not CPU. So don't expect any visible performance gain if you go 64-bit. Most of the deskop apps nowadays are I/O bound and 64-bit memory access won't help much and the I/O can even increase due to increased binary sizes. Get 64-bit version of nautilus and you'll see what I mean. 4. A well written C program can be used both in 32 and 64 bit environment without any modification. So no additional develop work is needed. If a C program runs in 32, but crashes in 64, that's a bug. It's a packaging issue, not a developing one. No modification to source code is not needed so developers are only needed for packaging/testing, not coding. Given the automated build system, not many developers are needed. Otherwise, it's a bug. 5. CPU intensive programs can benefit from 64 bit since your CPU can handle more data in the same time, but this only holds true when the applications are designed to take advantage of it. Most of our daily apps won't get performance gain. Actually some will even become slower. Try it at home if you don't believe it. Conclusion: 1. Going 64-bit won't give much visible performance gain. So it's not a must-have. 2. Going 64-bit won't take much work and should be easy, unless there are bugs. So there is no reason not to do it. This can help find potential bugs. 3. If a program runs well in 32-bit OS, but fail to run in 64-bit one, this is not an architecture problem. It's a bug. Please report it instead of complain of 64-bit. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi Phill, Sorry this took so long! I'm happy to report that doing the install with the 64-bit Mini CD worked just fine. I haven't had time to try everything, of course, but I've found zero problems so far. Just one note on the install instruction; one step is to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. When I did this, it told me there were zero packages to install. Perhaps that step could be removed, or perhaps it's needed only sometimes. Anyway, looking good so far for 64-bit.
