Still not working no matter what I do:

sudo dpkg -i –force-architecture boxee-0.9.12.6570.deb
dpkg: error processing –force-architecture (–install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing boxee-0.9.12.6570.deb (–install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
–force-architecture
boxee-0.9.12.6570.deb

installed and successfully ran except for the boxee window flickers to the point of making me sick. even in full screen. anyone else have this problem?

I listed the packages that getlibs installed in the first comment. If you can manage to find those and install them manually then it should work:

Something goes wrong at the end…And finally did’t work for me on a Linux Mint 7 64bit system.
After getlibs /opt/boxee/Boxee I get the following message:
No match for libfaac.so.0
No match for libhal-storage.so.1
No match for libjasper.so.1
No match for libenca.so.0
No match for liblzo.so.1
No match for libmysqlclient.so.15
No match for libfribidi.so.0
No match for libvorbisenc.so.2
No match for libGLEW.so.1.5
No packages to install

And so no libraries are installed…and boxee doesn’t work

thanks for the install instructions works great

If there were a 64-bit deb then this tutorial wouldn’t be necessary. The steps above should guide you through installing the regular 32-bit deb on a 64-bit setup.

Until Boxee decided to release a 64-bit deb we will be forced to use this process.

were do i get the amd64 deb

Worked like a charm!
Thanks from Brazil

This post is discussing how to install the application “Boxee”, which is made for Ubuntu 32 bit on a 64 bit version instead. Not how to install Ubuntu 64 bit.

Ubuntu Jaunty does have installs for 64 bit systems. On the download page, if you scroll to the bottom it has Custom Options and you can select 64 bit system. ^_~ 32 bit doesn’t work well on 64 bit systems. I lost mouse use cause my laptop is also a touch screen when I installed 32 bit by mistake. That’s what you get for not labeling cd’s, heh!
