i seriously doubt that 64 bit support will be dropped at all by anyone. every single processor that's made now is 64 bit. 32 bit should be what's dropped because of the obsolescence of 32 bit. 32 bit only gives you 2GB of RAM to work with and so many other limitations. I highly doubt there'll be a step backwards.
Ralf: the only answer i can give you is to do a clean install of a 64 bit version of ubuntu. there's really no way to go from 32 to 64 bit with an upgrade or whateve. only a clean install will take care of that. sorry. charlie luna > On Dec 9, 2016, at 4:00 AM, ubuntu-studio-users-requ...@lists.ubuntu.com > wrote: > > Send ubuntu-studio-users mailing list submissions to > ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > ubuntu-studio-users-requ...@lists.ubuntu.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > ubuntu-studio-users-ow...@lists.ubuntu.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-studio-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. from 32bit to 64...
