skype & flashplugin without lib32 ?

martinoff · 2011-06-26 21:15:01

is there a way to have this software in Arch x86_64 system without lib32 on it ?

 pacman -Qs lib32 | wc -l
0

and if there is no way are all these package stable ?
there are a lot of lib that will be replaced by lib32

for flashplugin prerelease from aur is anybody using it ?

thanks

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072 has a loooot of votes so people are using it alright.

[multilib] is stable, if that's what you're asking about.

all flashplugin-prerelease x86_64 have serious holes that are fixed only in the newest flashplugin releases, the last one is a zero day hole that can expose gmail passwords.

nobody should use this version and it should be deleted from aur

Correction: lib32-* packages do not replace their 64-bit counterparts. They are installed alongside, under /usr/lib32.

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

i am a little afraid couse i was using Arch with open multilib before and testing also but was unstable and i am using a x86_64 arch for three month now and without multilib and testing and all are fine
so i am a little afraid to open again multilib and want to keep these install as clear i can

are all you using multilib ?

If you want to use skype, then I'm affraid there is no other way.

I'm using 64 flashplugin from aur and it works fine for me (it's an old version though, probably a couple of months, so not sure how the newest ones fare).

PS. A couple of packages will be replaced by multilib versions, which provide both 64 and 32 libs, don't remember which ones though...

Really??? How come I never heard about this?? My Gmail got hacked about two weeks ago Wonder if it was this? Hmm...Now I'm tempted to switch back to the multilib, even though sometimes that one doesn't work right (video tearing on TV out last time I tried, worth another try now though maybe).

Well, after switchinbg to the multilib one for like a day, I'm alread switching back because it's really buggy I'll use whatever works, which happens to be the prerelease. Besides, who knows what caused my Gmail problems, could be plently of other things (PSN hack maybe?), it's not like I visit sites with malicious Flash, just Youtube and stuff. Maybe I should install Flashblock or Noscript or somehting along those lines though, just to be safe. EDIT: Just installed Flashblock, I'm good to go
