[Unable to log in with a viewer]

well.. that page directs me to the current viewer download...

 

I've tested the x64 version of Imprudence, and lo and behold.. it WORKS.  I get the terms of service notification and can log in.. and i get no "media_plugin_webkit failed" errors!

I think this might be a 32-bit/64-bit issue...

as far as reporting the issue or submitting a ticket.. i could not find an appropriate category to submit it as...

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

well, I have attempted to re-install the programs by copying them to /opt/... it did not work... i'm pretty sure that all of the required programs are present, as well.  where would i submit a ticket?

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

well, i do have both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries of most of my applications installed... which libraries are needed, however?  i'd like to check to make sure i have everything where it should be.

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

and apparently running them in /home/user/bin/ after changing the user and group ownerships gives the same issue... could it be an incompatibility with 64-bit linux operating systems?

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

that brings an even more odd error when i try using it as either my user account (user) or as root:

You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform.  The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

Please note that i have secondlife and so on installed in /opt/, as that is where i put most of my optional, non-bundled linux software, like Adobe Reader, Flock, Firefox, and so on... does it need to be in a different location?  i have it there so my user accounts can access it.. i'll move it to /home/user/bin/ if needed... though it should have worked when i ran it as root, as well.. yet it did not, so i doubt it's an access/permissions issue, since root is the owner of the folder.

I have the latest version of Flash Player (libflashplayer.so, version 10.2), and Java (1.6.0 update 24).  As for quicktime... i'm on linux... i don't think there's a linux version of quicktime available...

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

i'm sorry.. i don't think i understand what you mean... i'm unable to log in because i cannot even accept the license agreement... i can't click "accept" becuase it's faded out, and the text box containing the license agreement is empty.

[Unable to log in with a viewer]

Hello, everyone! I'm trying to log in to SecondLife, but I receive the error "media_plugin_webkit has failed".. and if i ignore that, It requires that i agree to the license agreement, which is blank and has the "agree" box faded out... this occurs on the most-recent versions of Snowglobe, SecondLife Viewer, and PhoenixViewer... I'm on 64-bit Linux... what can i do to remedy this?

The programs are below:
SecondLife for Linux: 2.6.1(upgraded from 2.5.1)
Snowglobe for Linux: 1.4.2.3626
PhoenixViewer for Linux: 1.5.2.908

My system stats: Mandriva Linux x86_64 2010.2 (64-bit), 4 GB of RAM, AMD Phenom-II X6 1055T at 2.8 GHz with an AMD Radeon HD 4290 on-board graphics card.
