Running 32bit apps in x64 Mate 15.10

Support & Help Requests
1

I'm new in Ubuntu Mate. I was using Xubuntu 14 x64.

In xubuntu I can run some apps that I need to work but the problem is that those doesnt have x64 support.

In Xubuntu all I have to do is:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 pulseaudio:i386 libxrender1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libxslt-dev:i386 libxcomposite1:i386 libxi6:i386

sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

reboot

And voila! all my apps runs correctly.

In Mate, if I follow those steps my system crash...

Can somebody help me?

How about explaining which applications you want to run, rather than just showing what libraries you think you need? :slight_smile:️ Because you actual question is, “how do I run xyz on Ubuntu MATE 15.10?”

You can also try using Gdebi to install packages as there is a good chance that it will install dependencies for you, if you get stuck, take a look below for packages you may need:
