Free Crossover From Code Weavers-Halloween Only

I didn't know where exactly to post this so I posted it in basic support where everyone comes.

I wanted to share this with the Mageia Community and it is my understanding they have not done this since 2008.

Hi Isadora,

I have not been on the forum in a while so I posted it where most people go, forgot about this. I thought it would be a good chance for some people to get to use their favorite Windows software and maybe do away with dual booting.

Already downloaded and will try out later, thank you for this.

I am using Mageia 2 64bit. I have downloaded Crossover but it won't work without library libnss_mdns.so.2 32bit. I have searched the software list in MCC but no sign. Where can I get this?

Thanks.

Have it working here, and use lib64nss.

Here it's asking also about the 32 bit version of nss_mdns

First of all: The 64bit is installed and I have also the 32bit-repos enabled and they are up-to-date.

I looked for the package:

Code: Select all

[root@Rechner marc]# urpmf --name --filename -m nss_mdns
nss_mdns:nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.x86_64.rpm:Core Release (distrib1)
nss_mdns:nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.x86_64.rpm:Core Updates (distrib3)
nss_mdns:nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.i586.rpm:Core 32bit Release (distrib31)
nss_mdns:nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.i586.rpm:Core 32bit Updates (distrib33)

I tried to installed it specifically from the 32-bit Update (I tried Release-repo as well with same result):

Code: Select all

[root@Rechner marc]# urpmi --media "Core 32bit Updates (distrib33)" nss_mdns
[root@Rechner marc]#

No output at all? Even no error warning?

Next try:

Code: Select all

[root@Rechner marc]#urpmi --media "Core 32bit Updates (distrib33)" nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.i586.rpm
unable to access rpm file [nss_mdns-0.10-9.mga1.i586.rpm]
error registering local packages
[root@Rechner marc]#

Additionally in the mcc gui there is only the 64-bit package listed...


What am I doing wrong?

Hi Marc, don't worry about that. In a 64-bit environment it works fine with the 64bit nss_dns library, so you may ignore this warning.
