[SOLVED] 32-bit or 64-bit Mageia

[NickC]

Am I running 32-bit or 64-bit Mageia? Reason I ask is that when I look in the repositories I see:
"Core 32bit Updates (distrib4)"
This suggests I am running a 32-bit version despite the fact that it was installed from Mageia-2-x86_64-DVD.iso.

Code: Select all

uname -m

and you'll see what you are running.

remember that if you have some 32bit program (like skype) you need also some 32bit packege
and then 32 repo

FWIW, by default if you add a full set of sources on a 64bit system you will always get 32bit core_release and core_updates too,
because certain packages need them, e.g. wine, skype and others.

It turns out I am running x86_64, just that 32bit repo which concerned me a bit. Thanks for your help.
