mobile media converter for 64 Bit Ubuntu

[powel212]

Hi

I recently switched over to 64Bit Ubuntu. Wow. Fast. Love it.

The only program I can't get to run in 64Bit is Mobile Media conerter.

can I get Mobile Media Converter working in 64Bit?

Just ran across your post. The i386 version will run fine. You just have to install it manually and "force" it. Download the .deb package (1.4.2 is out now). Open a terminal and run

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i <path_to_package>

You can also type or copy/paste

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i

into the terminal, leave a space, and then drag the package on to the terminal window.


EDIT: This will also work with most i386 packages if you can't find the 64 bit version.

For some reason the newest package doesn't install correctly under 64 bit. After installing, right click on the menu icon, select "Edit Menus". Find MMC under Sound and Video. Right click on the MMC entry and select "properties". Then change the command to

/opt/MIKSOFT/MobileMediaConverter/lib/mmc

but you'll have to install the ia32 libs also I think... or is it ia64... search in synaptic, you'll find it.

Yes, ia32libs. I forgot about that. I don't think it was installed by default. Something else I installed pulled it in as a dependent.

Thanks to you all, especially 67GTA, this was really helpful.
