Media & Ubuntu 64 Bit

[Naiki Muliaina]

Hello! Old question being asked again as it has been an awful long time scince I can see it ast got asked. On v1 based viewers (imprudence / old snowglobe) both medias work (audio and video). On v2 based viewers neither work. Neither have ever worked infact on v2's on my PC. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. Aside from self compiling is there any easy way to get 2.0 with medias on Ubuntu 64 bit?

 

Thankya kindly for readin

Not actually an answer here, as i am very noobish to ubuntu.  I couldnt get 11.04 32 bit  to  load any sl viewer at all,

there was a change between 10.10 and 11.04, being an unity interface.and i think a kernel upgrade .i wonder if thats it

here is a link http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-ubuntu-10-10-and-vs-ubuntu-11-04/

also the ubuntu help forums will be a bigger assistance to you though im guessing..

(fixed a typo and i added a web link)

Just a interface change im afraid. GStreamers still what SL uses for media, and I havent had SL2.0 media on any of the last...3 Ubuntu versions... ^^

 

Thankyas for replying though

I am using Linux Mint 10 which is essentially Ubuntu 10.10, I have not yet wanted to upgrade to the 11.4 equivalent. However media and audio work well for me on any V2 based viewer and not on Phoenix. You say that you have a 64-bit system? Might not be the solution but worth a shot to try installing the 32-bit libraries. Also make sure you have installed all the proprietary drivers.

Have all prop drivers installed and ia32-Libs, and again its been like this for the last 3 Ubuntu versions, so it being 11.04 isnt the issue

 

I have been told its SL looking for 32 bit libs and not finding them. Treid a few things suggested in Ubuntu group today and it still didnt work. This issue will continue to alude me I guess

 

Thankies for the replies

You can try using the 64 bit Imprudence viewer or the Open Metaverse viewer (omvviewer):
