PS: There at least are ways to get a list of all packages that are installed by the 32 bit install and after installing the 64 bit version it's possible to install all packages from this list. There was a discussion this or last year on the Ubuntu users mailing list, so the answers are in the archive. There isn't just a single answer related to a list of all packages, because a user might follow a no-install-recommends philosophy and/or wants to ensure that auto and manual installed packages have the same status after reinstalling them, so this could require different ways to generate the package list. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
