I installed opensuse 12.1 64 bit. However because my company uses webex for all our meetings I used Yast to modify firefox from 64 to 32 bit along with all its plugins. This installed a LOT of stuf (130 + packages). I didn’t examine them very closely. After that (and setting up a 32 bit jre for the java plugin) I tested webex and things like desktop sharing appear to work fine. The fun started when I logged out; at that point gdm would not work and (I forget the exact message) but it was something like “oops something has gone wrong and you must call your system administrater”. Not very helpfull and after a LOT of screwing around I reinstalled. In retrospect it makes sense because the desktop manager is javascript and I probably converted most of that to 32 bit by accident and screwed up gnome-session.
I’m currently running 64 bit firefox so no webex support (ya they’re 32 bit morons), does anyone have a suggestion for me?
things I’ve tried:
-installing two firefoxes. This works but you can only run one at a time!
-getting a 32 bit java plugin to work with 64 bit browser… no way.

Is it necessary that you use _64
Wouldn’t 32 bit be OK
Or
(I know SLED installs by default) the pattern 32bit runtime environment
Would this help?
