Thanks, I looking everywhere for newer w32codecs debian package but with no result.

your packs say i386 what if your using a 686 kernel any difference?
August 4th, 2006 - 14:11
No difference, usually only the kernel is optimized for 686.

Will the Acrobat Reader play nice with MozPlugger 1.7.1? I know previous Acrobat Readers had a problem co-existing with MozPlugger (or vice versa).
w32codecs working great. THANKS!

Thanks Mike,
It is very nice of you to update packages and host them.
I’m from Boston so you know I love one guy from Indiana for sure. (In case people do not know, the greatest basketball player ever came from Indiana and played in Boston…Larry Bird.)
Thanks again

Will this work with the latest Opera as well. I just installed the pdf plugin in Opera and don’t think i have any issues since I tried to open the subversion.pdf from the subversion website. If I don’t have any problems opening pdf’s within Opera should I still do this? Thanks for any suggestions!

Sorry never use Opera, so I do not know.

I get an error in processing the codecs, The package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Where are the amd 64 codecs?

Use the http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy guide to install w32codecs on Edgy or Feisty.

Hi! Just tried to download the w32codecs, but I keep getting “ERROR 404: (no description). I have Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6 LTS and a pretty new and potent computer that usually does everything I ask of it. Any advice??
PS. I’m enthusiastic about Linux, a quick learner and getting very fond of the Terminal, but.. I’ve only been using Linux for 5 months, so Please, don’t presume I “know” anything, but give me ALL the details, and you make me Very Happy
