Conrad's World

I recently went to a fully 64 bit installation of Ubuntu Feisty. The only problems I had were that since I was running 64 bit Java I could not use my old CFEclipse installation anymore and had to download the 64 bit version, also I had to reinstall the my personal finance program, Moneydance , but everything worked fine there once I reinstalled.

I also had problems when I realized there is no 64 bit version of flash and I had to go back to 64 bit FireFox.

Today Google announced the release of Google Desktop for Linux, and while this is not something I typically install onto windows systems, I do know the pain that searching for files in Linux can be so I decided to check it out. After a few minutes of trying to install the program I find that it is not compatible with my 64 bit install.

I read of a few people running the --force-architecture switch when installing, but with a few bugs. I would rather wait on a fully developed product than install a buggy product. I may play with it on a VM so I don't break the rest of my system.

I will update if I play with this and get anything to work, till now I will wait.
