computer misidentified

[markntravis]

I have an intel 32bit computer dual doot Vista and Ubuntu 8.04.
When I try to add 3rd party source it tells me there is no amd 64 bit boxee.

Help.

Does your source look like this?

Also do this in a terminal and look for the "width:" part. What does it say?


sudo lshw

Width = 64. WTF! I thought this Dell 410 with an Intel E6600 was a 32 bit machine. What do I do now? I'm a linux n00b.

My source box did not look like your example.

all intel 'core' processors are x86_64... looks like you accidentally installed ubuntu 64.

the only option is to re-install your os.

I installed via WUBI. I don't remember there being an option for 32 or 64 bit.

I installed via WUBI. I don't remember there being an option for 32 or 64 bit.

it's not... you would have had to download the version that says: 'x86_64'... the version you want is: i386

Thanks "agentlame".
I uninstalled and reinstalled Ubuntu 32 bit and now I have boxee.
I tried playing the Daily Show and no sound. I'll muck around and see if I can find the problem myself but if anyone has a clue please drop it here.

Thanks again.
